I like that prayer. I get weary of Christians thinking their prayers are to only be roses, rainbows and lollipops. Bless the evildoer Lord and help them see the err in their ways. I prefer Lord, please let them be caught in their criminal

Activities and face the consequences of what they have done to hurt innocent people. Let them be prosecuted for their evil deeds. Expose their criminal behavior and let those consequences then lead them to find YOU.

That seems more fitting for today than ever before.

People look at me like 🫣 I’m gonna get hit with lightning. I don’t understand why we have become so soft and indirect in our prayers. I do know. It’s what’s been taught from the pulpits in America. A watered down version. Jesus is love. Jesus accepts everyone. Period. They stop there. How about Jesus is also just and righteous. We forget the difficult parts but love the lollipops and rainbows.

Sometimes I pray so fervently against those E vile so in so’s I have to apologize and say of course I hope they meet Jesus and turn their power for good, but in my flesh I cry out for justice!

That's why I love praying the psalms.

Often times, getting caught in the pit that they have dug is the highest chance of someone seeing the error of their ways - so in the long run it can even be merciful.
