I have a side question. I ...I pray for my enemies. <br />I have a side question. I wonder if my meander away from organized religion- into personal prayer- will affect the next generation. Since my attendance at mass is not as important, my children's attendance is less. If my daughter does not bring up our grandson in a religion- will the chances of him seeing being spiritual as important diminish?Janettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10054888725603183006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8419139030012374765.post-15595892408662425792010-12-12T19:27:41.511-05:002010-12-12T19:27:41.511-05:00It is good to pray for our enemies. when ever some...It is good to pray for our enemies. when ever someone tells me some awful gossip about how someone treated them badly, I always say that they need prayers.Lenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12893033655961221069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8419139030012374765.post-34713879645248335142010-12-12T14:49:32.755-05:002010-12-12T14:49:32.755-05:00I definitely believe in the power of prayer.

I do believe that prayers are answered ---but sometimes we don't get the answer we want! <br /><br />As far as praying for our enemies, YES---we should do that too.. I ask God to help all of us learn to get along with each other and with those who are different... I'm not sure we'll have peace in our world in my lifetime --but we can pray for it!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8419139030012374765.post-58041527764105282152010-12-09T23:01:25.077-05:002010-12-09T23:01:25.077-05:00As an agnostic, I don't "pray".

Your idea of praying for our enemies isi one of the hardest things to pray for. I recall a woman who made the life of everyone at this one job I had, miserable. She slept with the boss and got promoted, took the job of a good person and ended up their superviser until they left. It was awful. I prayed for her though I had to force it. Amazing how that worked. SMILECharlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17167633465853736197noreply@blogger.com
