Enough of nonsmokers harassment

[Guest]

I am tired of it Lord and I want it to STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I have had enough of the nonsmokers harassment. Smoking will NOT keep me out of heaven, there may or may not be cigarettes in heaven, Only You know that, You know Jesus, that smoking IS calming and reduces stress. You know the reasons why people smoke. You know the reasons I started. I DO NOT OWE ANYONE AN EXPLANATION OF WHY I SMOKE, And yes there are reasons. I WANT THOSE NONSMOKING BOTHERERS TO STOP. Smokers are not better persons than nonsmokers, thinking so makes them prejudice. It relieves stress when there has been abuse in Your life, NONSMOKERS BEWARE! And Christian nonsmokers do not pray for me to quit smoking, that is a personal choice between me and God. I OWE NO ONE AN EXPLANATION OF ABUSES IN MY LIFE THAT PROBABLY LED TO SMOKING. AND YES THAT IS A REAL REASON AND STARTING POINT TO FIRST SMOKING EXPERIENCES>So pray that abusers will STOP abusing. Praise be to God

Father, this guest is right. You have given each of us free will to choose what we will and will not pursue. I pray that this person's choice to smoke does not cause discord with others. Father, You have told us that tolerance and mercy are virtues. I pray that all those who encounter this guest treat them with Your fullest measure of tolerance and grace. Perhaps instill in them a willingness to just agree to disagree. I pray for a healthy relationship between this guest and You - and that ultimately Your will be accomplished in this life. Grant them respite and peace, still the harassment I pray. In the name of Jesus, amen.
