Hindered Pray Life

" Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: Lest the Lord see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him. Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked; For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out. My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change: For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both." ( Proverbs 24: 17-22 ) Many times we believe that we are somehow vendicated when people we don't like suffer, but wee must take care not to envolve ourself in sin. Each time we committed sin and our prayers hindered because iniquity is in my hearts ( Psalms 66:18 ). Today, many of us are surrounded by people who want to do us harm. We must pray for those individuals lost in sin, and not wish evil upon them. Do not let the devil or the flesh cause you to sin and have your prayers hindered. People will only see Christ if we do good to those who do us wrong. Are you rejoicing in someone's downfall? If so, remember, " If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me." ( Psalms 66:18 )..." Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore, if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink; for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." ( Romans 12: 17-21 )
