Nobody has ever said that life doesn't present us with problems, challenges and opportunities. I believe in God and love Jesus, but I also think that I am responsible for my actions and the repercussions that my actions have on other people. I find it really helps to remember that I am a good person with good motives, and there are a lot of other good folks out there in the world. What's also true is that there are some mean, nasty, evil folks too, and I do the best I can to keep my distance from those people who have bad intentions. Our lives are journeys, and there will be times when we have doubt and backslide; being able to forgive ourselves and to continue on in a positive manner sometimes takes a certain amount of strength and courage. Here's hoping that things look up for you!

Yes, I think that it is good that we pray for the unbelievers that they may get to know Christ. There are some people who says that it is a waste of time, but God can change a heart when there's no one who can. God Bless and Merry Christmas.

God sends His blessings on the evil as well as the good. He rains on the just and the unjust. Hell will be when God removes all the blessings He now provides to unbelievers. Yes, we should pray that God blesses them. I believe so.

I think we should pray for nonbelievers. That they will see the benefits of the Lord. If we do not try, then we are not doing Gods work. God turned possessed people into believers so why shouldn't we pray for them also. It is the nonbelievers that need the teachings as well as we all do. We are all sinners and we need to go to the Lord for help in forgiveness. We need to repent and turn our lives over to the Lord.

Praying for someone whom does not believe in God is a Christ-like thing to do. It is called intercessory prayer. Your prayer gives God permission to work in their lives in a way that He cannot without their own invitation. This kind of intercessory work is just what Jesus did for believers when He prayed in the Garden and what He does for every human being even now.
God bless.

God Tells us in His word to "PRAY YE ONE FOR ANOTHER"....Therefore, as we Pray for non-believers God will intervene In their Life. You are NEVER wasting time praying for a Soul. That is why Jesus Saved Us....So He can use our Mouth and Life for His Glory. He also Instructs us to Pray with out ceasing!! Our Life must be Filled with Prayer. We never run short of things, or People to Pray for. It is a priviledge and Honor to Pray to our Heavenly Father for anyone who wants a Prayer. This gives Him something to work with. He loves to intervene in to Your situation and Life, Due to someones Prayers. amen.

We are to pray for those who despitefully use us. And we are to pray for our leaders. I don't believe many of our leaders know the Lord. So Yes, we are.
Mt 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

In the Bible it says that it rains on the just and unjust. If it was not for God's protection and love for me while I was not a Christian, then I would have been dead and in hell. We need to bless those that don't know Him. He wants us to pray for those that need Him. The lady that lead me to Jesus loved me right where I was, in my ugly sin, and I came to know Jesus because of this love that she had for me. Let's Bless all!

I believe with all my heart that we are to pray for all! We are taught to love our enemies...that means praying for them too!
In my opinion, when I say, God bless you....I mean it with my heart and it is something I do not say flippantly! This is something I say lovingly as GOD is LOVE!
My prayer is that all will desire to know God and His love. May we all understand that the mere name of God...is Holy.

Here is what the Bible says.....
"If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and He shall give him LIFE for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it." 1 John 5:16
What that tells me is that we can pray for other people and God will give life for them. If you think about it....who IS your brother? your fellow man?
