Hard to pray

Every once in a while I find it hard to pray for someone. The only scriptures that come to mind are imprecatory Psalms - you know, the kind like "Stop my enemies, kill them in the night, and don't let their children see the light of day" type Psalms.

Yes, Jesus says we are to pray for our enemies. At the time he was talking about Roman soldiers who would persecute or even torture and kill people. My body isn't being torn apart, yet I still find this hard to do.
