I asked that He bring them to a place of repentance and wipe their slate clean. It's been a protection for my spirit and healing for my heart.

True and wise words.
One of the hardest things do do is to pray for our enemies.
And it can be tough sometimes too, to make sure we don't gloat when we see our enemies fall.
Even when I dont always feel like praying for my enemies or adversaries, I make myself do it, and when I'm done I feel better for it.
Besides, the Bible says
blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
And the fact is, all of us are going to need mercy someday.
