A world of prayer

Imagine how great the world would be if we prayed as much as we gossip. The only benefit of backbiting is that the person that you talk so badly about will learn to stay away from you. We should always speak with respect no matter how angry we get. If you say anything nasty about another person you are not helping to make them a better person. There is a great chance that prayer can help edify someone and help them grow where they need to. I am not perfect about this, but I do realize that we need to live righteously, and in a manner that pleases God. What if the people that you hate(by the way we shouldn't hate others) are praying for your good? If I knew this it would probably shame me. I try very hard to pray for the ones that hate me, even the meanest ones of them all. Prayer is one of the things that most people do at one point or another. It is possibly the only thing that can bring us together in unity. Good could only happen if we live like this; hoping for the love and the joy and prosperity of the people we hate the most. Imagine the energy of this. We wouldn't be able to hate anyone for very long if we pour out our souls for them. More than likely it is impossible. This is not unrealistic. I don't think that others ponder this idea very much. If we pray for others when we think they're wrong, we may get the results we'd like to see out of others. I don't think God has limits. He wants us to live harmoniously. This is the best way to seek peace with one another.
