A time for everything

There is a place for prayers.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
(Ephesians 6)

There is a place for petitions etc for love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
(1 Corinthians 13)

“Say to them: ‘As I live,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways!...(Ezekiel 33)

If whatever we do is for the love of God and His people, we would have loved.

We are to be wise as serpents, harmless as doves also in loving others.
