“Love your enemies” is a
Bible quote that is often
reiterated in teaching,
but what does it actually
mean? Often we might
include a five second
mention of our enemies
in our prayer time and
feel that this encom-
passes the whole idea of
loving our enemies, but
it does not. One of the
greatest examples of a
man who loved his ene-
mies was the one and
only, St. Patrick. St. Pat-
rick was born in Britain,
and at only sixteen
years of age, he was
captured by the Irish
and forced to become a
slave. After six years of
living in cruel condi-
tions, he escaped and
returned home. Instead
of being bitter at the
Irish, or even simply pray-

Have you ever prayed to
God about something
very important to you, to
only feel like it bounced
off the ceiling back to you,
and it did not go any-
where? Have you ever felt
like God has you on hold?
Matthew 6:6 says, "But
when you pray, go into
your room, close the
door, and pray to your
father who is unseen.
Then your Father, who
sees what is done in secret,
will reward you." That does
not mean you stop praying
if you feel like your prayers
are not going anywhere.
Pray without ceasing. This
is one thing Christians tend
to forget, "Forgive us our
debts, as we also have for-
given our debtors (verse
12)." This verse is backed
up in verses 14 and 15:
"For if you forgive men
when they sin against you,
your heavenly Father
will also forgive you. But giveness? Maybe that is what
if you do not forgive we are missing when we pray
