Question:
Romans 12:14.  What are some ways we can bless those who persecute us? 

Answer:

Some ideas that were brought up were bringing meals, not holding a grudge, and helping them in whatever way we can.  The one that hit home for me was that we should be praying sincerely for our enemies.  On a good day, I might quickly pray for someone by name that I don’t especially enjoy, but I very rarely pray sincerely for that person!  Just passing quickly over them in a prayer isn’t good enough; it’s not a duty that we have to quickly fulfill and then move on.  We should be praying sincerely from our heart knowing that God loves them so much!  “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you” (Matthew 5:44).
