I am currently for Imprecatory prayers, but I have been thinking about them lately.
1) In the Psalms when they are done, it seems as though they are always prayed against enemies which are opposing forces (armies/military). I've heard this recently and brought me to ponder the validity of imprecatory prayers towards individual people (example: Obama - as a person, not as president).
2) Are there other examples outside of the Psalms or examples where imprecatory prayers are prayed concerning non-military/army like groups? Like individuals who have slandered you or something.
3) How would someone who holds to imprecatory prayers (that we should pray them) respond to the verse which states that we should pray for/love our enemies?
