Prayer for Enemies
Lord Jesus Christ, Who didst command us to love our enemies, and those who defame and injure us, and to pray for them and forgive them; Who Thyself didst pray for Thine enemies who crucified thee: grant us, we pray, the spirit of Christian reconciliation and meekness, that we may heartily forgive every injury and be reconciled with our enemies. Grant us to overcome the malevolence and offences of people with Christian meekness and true love of our neighbor. We further beseech Thee, O Lord, to grant to our enemies true peace and forgiveness of sins; and do not allow them to leave this life without true faith and sincere conversion. And help us repay evil with goodness, and to remain safe from the temptations of the devil and from all the perils which threaten us, in the form of visible and invisible enemies. Amen.
I wish you all a blessed day with love and kindness!

I don't think I have prayed for enemies in particular, but I did ask Him for the grace to be merciful and forget all the past hurt so that I can have a peaceful sleep every night.
Thanks for sharing this and have a great day.

Thank you for your prayer. If this works for you this is wonderful! However in my faith we pray with our own words form our own heart. God knows how we speak in our everyday life there is no reason to use 16th century English with words such as thee and tho and dist. I pray for those who are enemies but just like I talk now with no memorized prayer.But rather one from my own thoughts! For me it means more that way.It is truly My prayer! I pray to the Father who is in heaven and end in Jesus name. Praise the Lord! God bless you and you have yourself a great day!

It makes no difference. The same thing happens. Let's say that if you were to pray AGAINST your enemies, don't you think that your enemies are praying AGAINST you? Come on, the same thing happens. Religion doesn't want people to realize that.

Read the bible; exceptionally the Old Testament. No one kills extra enemies than God. He is the best killing computing device. God is formally the finest serial killer of all time. He obliterated complete cites, introduced famine, pestilence, and destruction down on thousands. He even flooded the Earth killing virtually each and every residing factor. You do not ought to pray too tough to get God to kill. He loves it!
