I am in need of urgent prayer. The last couple of weeks my husband and I have been going through a lot. Financial issues, issues with my aunt who is staying with me, issues in my office, etc. I really don’t understand why we are going through so much. To make things worse last Wednesday we faced another unpleasant incident. One of our neighbors accused that our dog bit a child who had come to visit them. The dog was on the side of the gate and they accused saying the dog bit this child’s heel. I was in the garden sweeping even though I heard the dog trying to snap I didn’t hear any child crying. After about 15 minutes did they come and complain, then they confronted my husband and it ended up by going to the police station. To be honest I am angry and feel so depressed, because the dog had not bitten this child and when we wanted to see the wound they showed some old wound. The real problem was a few months back where this neighbor was building his roof over our garden which is illegal, so my husband told them to take it back so it was this anger they took out on us. But now we don’t want to stay here anymore we want to sell this house and move into a new place. I don’t want to be hasty and sell this house but want to sell it at the right price because this is the only asset we have. My husband and I have not done anything wrong to anyone but my husband is someone who will stand up for injustice. My aunt and I have been living alone for 9 years letting these neighbor do whatever they want because we didn’t want to confront them after my husband came into the scene they are now upset because they can’t dominate us. Please pray for us. We need to move out from this area fast. These neighbors who accused us are poor people whom we have helped with food, clothes, etc. In the end they accused us falsely took us to the police for something that never happened.

I am so angry God says to love our neighbors how can we love our neighbors when they do wrong to us? Is Satan attacking us? Nothing seems to be going right for us…
 
Holy God and loving Father, I consciously place my fears, worries, anxieties, and burdens in your hands. I know that I have so little power to change the outcome of these events and I trust that you will work what is pleasing to you, and best for me, out of these situations. Forgive me for my anxious thoughts and for letting my own worry become an idol that robs you of my full trust. Strengthen and empower me to trust you more by the power and presence of your Spirit. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen
 
I just read Psalm 35, "A Prayer For Help." David cries out to the Lord:

"11 Malicious witnesses rise up;
They ask me of things that I do not know.
12 They repay me evil for good,
To the bereavement of my soul.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth;
I humbled my soul with fasting,
And my prayer kept returning to my bosom.
14 I went about as though it were my friend or brother;
I bowed down mourning, as one who sorrows for a mother.
15 But at my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered themselves together;
The smiters whom I did not know gathered together against me,
They slandered me without ceasing."

Though we give to others, they repay us with evil! I do not understand why this is. But God will repay the evil they did and He will bless you for your kindness to them.
 
God, our help and assistance, who is just and merciful, and who hears the prayers of your people; look down upon me. a miserable sinner, have mercy upon me, and deliver me from the troubles that torment me, even though I might deserve them. Grant me, I pray, your divine helping grace; endow me with patience and strength to endure my tribulations with complete submission to your will. You know my misery and suffering and to you, my only hope and refuge, I flee for relief and comfort; trusting your infinite love and compassion, that in due time, when you know it is for the best, you will deliver me from my troubles, and turn my distress into comfort, and I will rejoice in your mercy, and exalt and praise your Holy Name, O Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, In Jesus Name Amen
 
Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
