While God is an Avenger, Are back to sender prayers biblical?

--:--
In this episode we have a chat with Sean Mullens (aka Wasu) as discuss if there is a biblical basis for the increasingly popular "back to sender prayers". This is when we basically ask God to return to those who persecute us, the harm they had intended to do to us. Is it biblical? While scriptures such as 1 Thessalonians 4:6 talk about God being our avenger when we have been wronged, should we be actively praying for God's vengeance on those who oppose us? Jesus instructs us to turn the other cheek, is that not contradictory to seeking God to avenge for us? We also discuss how we can get healing over the hurt and bitterness we feel when we are wronged and the person seems unrepentant. Have a Listen and join the conversation
