One indicator as to our standing before the Lord is this: are we praying for the welfare of others; friends and enemies? Most of us pray for our welfare, as we give thanks for our blessings and ask for things in our behalf. But how often do we pray for another? More importantly in certain ways, how often do we ray for our enemies, or those who have hurt us? Continually make fun of us or speak unkindly of and to us?This is a test of our forgiveness, our faith in the atonement of Jesus Christ, and our obedience to His commands and discipleship. We may not see this test now, but there will be a time in all of our lives where we find ourselves in this position. Are you prepared? Will you act or react?
