Quite a few psalms in the Bible are prayers against our attackers. Is that an acceptable prayer for us to still pray today?
The Scriptures I reference in this clip are Psalm 58:6-8; Luke 23:34; Luke 6:28.
Imprecatory prayers are, “Get ’em, God!” prayers. Intercessory prayers are, “Bless ’em, God!” prayers.
Since both of these prayers are in the Bible, both of them have their place in our healing from the bites we have received from others, but the intercessory prayers are the ones we need to strive to pray.
You can read more about this kind of praying in my posts: Still Maturing, Trespassers, and When You’re Unfairly Attacked.
The full sermon about dealing with slanderers is here, and you can also go much deeper with this subject in my book When Sheep Bite.
