Declare me not guilty, O Lord my God, for you give justice.
Don’t let my enemies laugh about me in my troubles.
25 Don’t let them say, “Look, we got what we wanted!
Now we will eat him alive!”
26 May those who rejoice at my troubles
be humiliated and disgraced.
May those who triumph over me
be covered with shame and dishonor.
27 But give great joy to those who came to my defense.
Let them continually say, “Great is the Lord,
who delights in blessing his servant with peace!”
28 Then I will proclaim your justice,
and I will praise you all day long.
We’ve talked many times about how we should pray for our enemies but how do you pray for your friends?

That’s a good point! I thank God for my friends but I never to think to pray about them unless they ask or something detrimental happens
I am the same and wondering now what I need to change in light of this word.
If I know they’re going through something, I’m probably more specific–if it’s just “the usual”, I have an ‘ordinary day’ type of prayer: for safety, strength, patience, JOY, mercy…..and so on.
Often times I can forget to pray about my friends unless they have problems. I get focused on problems way too easily.
Isn’t that the truth, brother? We’ve got to start praying more grateful prayers for our friends, “that they would have a blessed day”–is an easy one to remember 🙂
