Get 'Em, God!

Is it okay to pray, "Get 'em, God"? What do we do when someone has hurt us, harmed someone we love, or is actively persecuting others? Scripture contains some surprisingly bold prayers asking God to bring justice—and they're not limited to the Old Testament.
In this thought-provoking episode of Encouraging Prayer, Dr. James Banks explores the biblical practice of imprecatory prayer and the tension between asking God for justice while still obeying Jesus' command to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us.
Discover why bringing our anger, pain, desire for justice, and even our struggle to forgive honestly before God can be part of a genuine prayer life. Most importantly, learn why justice ultimately belongs in God's hands—not ours.
It's a challenging conversation about trusting God when we desperately want to take matters into our own hands—and remembering that He hears the prayers of His people.
