Maintain A Biblical Balance

 Psalm 109 is a controversial, 'imprecatory' psalms which calls on the Lord to take vengeance on those wicked enemies who accuse God's people. It calls upon the Lord to oppose these wicked men who have repaid evil for good.
 There are some that consider Christians should use 'imprecatory' prayers against their enemies and invoke the Lord for justice and vindication, while others consider that calling down judgement on their enemies is not appropriate because we have been called to love our enemies and pray for those that despitefully use us.
 Any form of 'imprecatory' prayers should never be taken lightly, but perhaps the most appropriate way to address this issue in our own lives is to Maintain A Biblical Balance between praying for the forgiveness and salvation of our enemies and asking God for justice to be carried out.
 Just as we are reminded: "There is a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace," we also have to be aware that there may be a time to plead for God to avenge us of a terrible wrong. But we should always approach 'imprecatory' prayer with godly wisdom, under His guidance, and for His greater glory.
Psalm 109:26 Help me, LORD my God; save me according to your unfailing love.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, there are times when the difficulties and dangers in our lives seem to be very similar to the things that David went through. In the same way that he called on You to judge his enemies and cover his accusers with dishonor and shame, We too have had times when w feel like praying for You to avenge us of all the horrid things our enemies have done against us. We also know You have promised that Your grace is sufficient for us in all the evils we may face. Lord, give us the wisdom to know how to pray when we are beset by those that would do us harm. Help us, O Lord our God, to deal with our enemies in a Christlike way, and give us the wisdom to recognize a time to pray for forgiveness, and a time to pray for justice. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
