Prayer request........

[Mike from MI "Iron Brigade"]

This request is for Sarah. She is a sister in Christ in college. Here is her email..............



Hey guys! How are all of you doing? I know that's a pretty broad question, but I DO want to know! Things are staying REALLY busy here at school. I could use some prayer though. Things have been pretty rough. I've had one of my "friends" talk badly about me behind my back about stuff. I confronted her on it and she wrote a very hurtful email to me and then came and yelled at me for over an hour and a half, not to mention she hit me in the shoulder prior to that(thought I was going to have a bruise), and lied to me outright and blamed everything on me. (Little does she know that I have proof of her saying what she did) Now, I'm scared to be around her, afraid for my safety. She looks at me with almost hatred in her eyes...scary! O_O I am also having problems with this guy. I just want to be friends, but I'm getting the strong impression that he wants it to be more then that, though I'm holding my ground. Fortunately, my dad taught me when to say "No". He's not trying any moves, but he's starting to get possessive and controlling, so that scares me a bit. And he's also becoming pushy. I'm also swamped with homework and having these emotions aren't helping. I'm really missing my grandpa too, so any prayers would be greatly appreciated. I do want to say that through all of this, I have really, REALLY been drawing closer to God. He's been SO helpful to me!! And do you know what?? When this "friend" of mine bullied me around and yelled at me, I felt as though God had His hands around me and was also covering my ears, because I felt extremely calm through all of this. It was a peace I know only comes from Him. It wasn't till after she left when I went to my room and started to cry and hyperventilate. My sister was there to help me breath and calm down though. So, yeah. Fun semester! Sorry, that was long!

Father, I pray that you angels be sent to protect Sarah from the evil that has come her way. We know that what is yours no one and nothing can snatch from your hand. Keep Sarah safe in your hand and deliver her from evil - put a hedge of protection about her and help her with her feelings and emotions. Thank you Father, in Jesus name. Amen

Praying for Sarah and I had a situation that was about the same, only I have been friends with my neighbor for years since my ex left and she helped me a lot after the divorce. Well, I said something to her about a large dumpster that was parked in front of the other house next to her and just asked why it wasn't in front of hers? This lady has a temper and when things don't suit her in what is said, she goes off like a bomb! She came over and using keys pecked on my glass door...putting some tiny specks in the glass....but I never said anything to her! When I was outside, she let loose with lots of fury and went back all the way to when the neighbor across the street was there and they've been gone since the late 70's. She sure carries a grudge and I just listened to her, held my peace and when she was finished, I said her name and said I love you in the Lord and if I've done anything to offend you, I am sorry! She even brought up about me not loaning them the 1985 Ford I had as an extra car. I didn't even remember it, but I do know that it wouldn't run half the time and finally got rid of it! We still speak when we see each other, but we aren't as close as we once were! Grudges and harsh words spoil any friendship that was or could be there! I tell you this so that Sarah
can understand why this person is irritating her so much!

Either she is jealous of her or she has dreamed up lies to tell others about her and that makes her feel better! I will pray for Sarah and I agree with Pete's post and she needs to pray for this person no matter how hurt she is from the cruelty she has suffered by her! Prayer works and by praying and being civil when seeing her.....things will change! She needs to get away from this controlling and possesive guy as soon as possible, as this is a danger to her! He could even harm her while she is in college! I will be praying that God will either change his ways and make a new creation out of him or move him and the other person on out of the college! God is amazing and He works miracles and if she'll yield completely to Jesus, our Savior, she will see everything change for the better! I know, because I've been there in the work place and so on, so on and so on! Life presents problems but God is the problem solver! God Bless Sarah and may she have the sweet peace of Jesus that passes all understanding!

God Bless!
Betty
