I do not pray, or have enemies, per se, but I do ask that those who slight me are given all they want in this life. Not only all they want for themselves, but all they want for others.

Absolutely, Jesus told us to pray for our enemies in Matthew 5:4 which states:
But I tell you to love your enemies and pray for anyone who mistreats you.
I pray that they will move toward the light that Jesus is sending them to follow even if they do not listen well..at least you did what Jesus told you to do.

Truthfully....not often enough. I don't have what I call true enemies, but we all could identify some people who have wrongfully used us or hurt us. Sometimes a prayer for such a person can be as simple as asking God to save them. Other times, I just ask for wisdom in dealing with them and for help in not becoming bitter or repaying them with anger. Sometimes I even ask the Lord to help me avoid them.

Oh yes, I pray daily for Christians, Muslims and Jews!
I pray that the spirit of deception and insecurity of life will leave them and that seeds of reason will be planted in their hearts by compassionate Humanists, Atheists or Agnostics.
I pray that they will learn to think for themselves and drop all those myths, preconceived notions passed down from their parents and their parent's parents.
I pray that they will know true love.

Firstly I Don't really have enemies anymore, because its not worth my energy to hate anyone. However, when someone is careless with other people (including me) I ask that the learn to see and understand the consequences of their actions

YES ! The burden I carry ( a grudge ) is much heavier than the responsibility of Praying for goodness for them ...
