Speaking The Unspeakable
We know what Jesus taught about praying for our enemies and turning the other cheek so we find it hard to know what to do with the prayers of vengence (Imprecatory Psalms). What did you think as you learned it was okay to pray that way?
We learned the psalms of vengence help us pray more fully and authentically in the following ways: (1) We learn to be more honest with God; (2) We learn to pray in solidarity with victims of injustice; (3) We pray against God's enemies; (4) We surrender our vengeful desires; (5) We open our hearts more fully to to God's transforming power; (6) We experience the grace of the cross. Which of these points resonates with you? Why?
