you and it diverts the brief time you have for prayer into feelings which are perhaps not associated with really praying for your enemies. It is easier to pray for them in categories - that is, pray for those persons who despitefully use all other persons. Pray for those persons who make false accusations. Pray for those persons and then next pray for those persons who make false accusations against you. Don't mention them by name. Just put them in great categories. Pray that the Lord will enlighten them, forgive their sins and lead them into a way of life in which they will have all spiritual wisdom.”

That's one of the greatest bits of spiritual knowledge have ever received and I always say to myself, “I never would have known that except for Martin Dies.” I would never have known how to pray for my enemies, or how to pray for anybody's enemies - put them in categories. The Lord understands. Don't get yourself all emotionally involved about them.

Then I remember that this person said to me, “Eventually you will move over that point and you will be able to pray for your enemies by name, and pray for the correction of their greatest weaknesses, which you may see. You may know that this is what is blocking their real association with God.”
