    Yes, if I am aware of anyone needing God's help I will pray for them. I feel like the word 'enemy' will some day (soon) be viewed as primitive; any person we encounter during our Earth life who is seemingly an enemy is actually a person sent to teach us a lesson about ourselves, about life.

    Because pain is real, and at one time or another, every one of us will experience immense pain, psychological or physical, we should put aside our differences and pray for God to show that person his love and guidance

    yes, I do pray for family and friends. I also have prayed for those who treat me badly, or those I consider to be an enemy. Those prayers are harder to say, but the LORD Jesus has commanded us to pray for our enemies. HE wants us to love everyone, as we would have others love us.

    May the LORD Jesus put HIS blessing on this question and answers.

    Yes, I do. I have had people tell me that they don't understand how I can pray for someone who has wronged me but it what our Lord commanded us to do.

    Yes, I do. I remember staying up late at night just so I could finish my prayers xDD

    I don't do it anymore though =[ I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. Eh, I do it when I can though.
