No one asked you to pray for the devil but you (as a good Christian) should send up a prayer for Ariel Sharon. I know Jesus would be pleased. And don't forget to pray for Billy Graham too. Now that's a good little girl.Here is an interesting question Billy Graham answered.
Q: I teach a junior high class in our church, and the other day my students asked me a question I couldn't answer. They said that since Christians are supposed to pray for their enemies, doesn't this mean we ought to pray for Satan, so he'll change his evil ways? I'd be curious what you would have said.
His answer, in part:
"The Bible makes it very clear that Satan will never change his ways and therefore there is no reason to pray that he will
After all, Satan is absolutely opposed to God; he always has been and always will be. He isnt like any other creature; he is an evil, malevolent spiritual power whose single goal is to block Gods will. (Incidentally, one of the ways he does this is by persuading us that prayer isnt important, although prayer is one of the ways God uses to accomplish His will.) Satans ultimate destiny, Jesus taught, is the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels (Matthew 25:41)."
Should we pray for Satan, so he?ll change his evil ways?
Do you pray for Hitler?
Do you pray for Osama Bin Ladin?
