A New Perspective on Praying for Your Enemies?

Today I was reminded of what Dr. John Hannah said when I was in one of his classes a few years back. I am sure we have all (lay or clergy) had similar thoughts...many times over.

If you're ever in the pastorate, you'll someday have guys that just drive you nuts. They do nothing but complain and cause strife, but they won't leave the church either. What you need to do is get on your knees and pray for God to take the S.O.B. home. It's a benefit for them and a benefit for the church. Really, it's a win-win...a truly great thing.
