It is right and best to pray for those who hurt us or do something bad to us. We never know if they are going through rough times in their life that leads them in hurting us. Sometimes we need to understand the other party's side. That's why it is the most powerful thing to pray for them instead of saying or doing bad to them.

It is okay to pray for those who hurt us . This is because it helps us free our minds. It's not good to hold grudges against those who offend us in any way. We should live freely and in peace with our own self

I share your point of view,infact I think we agree on this,am glad you see things this way because it is indeed the best.Obviously we have no choice not to because at the end of the day it's best for us,we have to be able to stand up for what is right.

Yes we should pray to those who heart us as Jesus said: you have heard that it was said love your neighbour and hate your enemy, but I tell you love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you (Matthew :5:39 and 5:43).

Jesus want us to live in peace and love to follow his steps. Once we pray for people who persecute us we will feel more comfortable and we will have inner peace this means that we have the ability to forgive them and not return the hurt for them.

And if Jesus forgive us and love us and even though he prayed for those who crucified him and when he was on the cross he said : father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing (Luke :23:24).

so how we the normal people can't pray for each other and love each other, isn't it great to pray for those who hurt us and ask god to enlighten their way and mind, why we don't pray for them to become better and nothing impossible with god.

You have heard that it was said: You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you: Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you; so that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven.

If you are this kind of person, then why not offer prayers for these people. Besides, it is a good way to break free from having grudges within.

Yes it's good. I've done it for a few times. I wish our Lord to protect me so that I may not be harmed like what they've done to me and no matter what is their purpose of hurting me, they should've learned a lesson from it and hope for both of us to heal

I think as christians the bible taught us to pray for enemies, meaning people who hurt are also included, so it is right and we are obeying the words of the bible.

Well it is not right to take revenge because God already said I will curse those who curse you and bless those who bless you so I can actually pray they repent period.

Praying for those who have hurt us can be a difficult thing to do, but it can also be a powerful way to heal and forgive. It can help us to let go of anger and resentment, and to see the other person as a human being with their own struggles and challenges. Ultimately, it can help us to move forward in a healthier and more positive way.

Praying for those who hurt us can also help us to see them in a new light and empathize with them. Ita powerful way to handle difficult emotions and promote healing both for yourself and for the person who hurt you. It can be challenging to pray for someone who has caused you pain or harm, but it can also be a transformative experience that helps you process your emotions and find peace.

Yes I really think that it is needed for us to pray for those who hurt us the reason is because they are not so perfect so they are not supposed to be good in everything they do so we should really pray for them also.
