Chris.
It is possible for us to Pray for people to be "turned back"! Even David did so... I think that, according to God's Word, we can Pray that Prayer for people who mock us, also for people who hurt, or want to hurt, us. Another meaning of "turn back" is to repent! Of course we can Pray for unregenerate people to turn back from their sins and come to God.
