    I don’t do crowds. Anything beyond 4-5 turns into a shoot the shit of garbled nonsense.

    I'm pretty easy going with people/criminals who apologize and try to make things right, like the one who Timber Ghost described above.

    On the other hand, I'll admit I don't do any praying for those who are flat out evil (like pretty much any Democrat politician). Basically, like this dude that Woodiewacker had to spend his week messing around with...

    Came across this morning

    Romans 5 6:8

    6 For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For one will hardly die for a righteous person; [d]though perhaps for the good person someone would even dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

    I don't pray for criminals. They will answer for their sins just like the rest of us . As sure as there is a heaven, there is also Hell.

    I save my prayers for the ones that evil people harmed.

    I understand you feeling like that and like I said in a previous post, I don’t really find myself praying for criminals but I ask myself should I be??? I think yes. Not to pray that they be free the penalty her on earth from what they have done, but to come to Christ for forgiveness.

    Paul had Christians killed before his conversion and David slept with another mans wife and had him killed.

    Like I said, I do not find myself praying for these criminals but I think biblically speaking, I should be.

    When I say prayers sent, it’s after I have stopped whatever I was doing and prayed out to God for what the request was.

    I struggle with that, and the death penalty, the only thing I've been able to figure is to pray for guidance.

    I have no doubt that some folks truly take a moment in heartfelt prayer when posting but I also believe that for many folks "prayers sent" is the equivalent of clicking the like button on a Facebook post.

    St. Peter will sort us all out when the time comes.

    I pray for everyone that needs God's love and peace so I guess that includes criminals but I can't say I specifically call them out in prayer ....
