No. I hate my worst enemies and wish only the worst upon them. If I were to pray anything about them it would only be that the children of my worst enemies die in a horrible fashion. If you are my actual enemy you can expect NO kindness from me.

I am what would be termed an emergency room Christian so I do not pray. I do not wish harm to my enemies mostly as I do not percieve I have any enemies, there are many people I do not like or who I know that do not like me however not liking does not make an enemy.

Other than Satan and his legion, I don't believe I have any enemies. Yes, there have been people in my life who's personality and mine have 'clashed', but never anyone that I hated or who hated me.
When faced with someone I disagree with or don't get along with, I pray about the situation, asking God to give me the right behavior, attitude, or words to help the situation, but also to bless the other person so they may also be "soft of heart".
I am sincere in my prayers of blessings for others, but I also know that in prayer my own heart is 'healed'... which allows me to have a spirit of love and kindness towards others, and doesn't allow my heart to be filled with anger or hatred.
Blessings to all....

Yes I do. I also do the meditation of loving kindness in which I project the energy of happiness, health, and enlightenment upon them. Does this mean it would not be harder the more pain they inflict upon me? No, it does not. Maybe my enemies has not inflicted so much pain on me as to meet that threshold. For this I am thankful of as it is good to Agape the world.

first of all, i dont consider anyone my enemy, even if they do.infact i dont have a single enemy pitting against me.
i just try to stay away from them, so that both parties can be at peace. if i do meet a person who hates or bad mouths me, i try being as polite and soft as possible. that really turns off the other person and he automatically is polite to me as well.
and as for the praying aspect. yes i pray for everyone irrespective of who it is, what their beleifs are, what they follow and whether they are good to me or not.
may the peace and blessing of Allah be with us and may He guide us on the right path.

I try not to have worst enemies or best enemies or any other kind of enemies, but I do occasionally pray that God(s)/Goddess(es)/Flying Spaghetti Monsters will bring peace and joy to those who hate or just plain don't like me.
I'm being honest here. If I perceive that someone doesn't like me, I'll try to get them to like me. If I can't do that, if they live somewhere on Earth where they either have cause to hate Americans or are taught to hate Americans and so lump all of us wretched refuse into one general "must-hate" category which includes me, I try to surround myself with loving energy and white light to protect myself. I do not send the energy to them, because I believe that that's interfering with their free will. But I do ask God to send them angels, or to hear their prayers, for their highest good and mine.

I do because if they can go be happy, then they can go on with their life, be out of mine and we're both happy. I also ask in prayer that they be surrounded by the white light of the Holy Spirit and no evil can come from them.

i pray for their health, wealth. and happiness....if I can't put my heart into it at first, I keep praying it and "fake it till I make it" or until I can....that's the only way I can do it.
