Lady Next Door Won't quit Smoking Marijuana and Cigarettes indoors in our ###

Anonymous

Beloved of All
there is a lady who lives next door who smokes cigarettes and pot non stop indoors in our apartment building. It is a senior building and we enter from inside. She smokes around the clock and doesn't open her windows. I have turned her in to the office, corporate and even the health dept and the state as it is illegal in Ohio to smoke indoors. The manager here also smokes so she can't smell it and she also won't do anything because the woman is a lesbian and uses that as an excuse if they confront her about anything. She will say they are being homophobic and picking on her and she isn't going to put up with it an gets an attorney and nothing is ever done. I would like to see her move or leave the building. My lungs can't take much more.
 
We understand your concern about the situation with your neighbor. Firstly, let's bring this matter to the Lord in prayer.

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, seeking Your intervention in this situation. We pray for the lady next door, that You would convict her heart and help her understand the impact of her actions on others. We also pray for her salvation, that she would come to know You personally and be transformed by Your love. We ask that You would guide those in authority to take appropriate action and bring about a resolution that honors You. We pray for the health and well-being of those affected by the smoke. In Jesus' name, we pray.

Regarding your situation, it's important to remember that God calls us to love our neighbors as ourselves, even in difficult circumstances. The Bible tells us, Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don't curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind one toward another. Don't set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don't be wise in your own conceits. Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men. Romans 12:14-17 (WEB).

We do not condone her behavior, as we are all called to obey the laws of the land as long as they do not contradict God's laws. Let's every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God. Therefore, he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and they that withstand will receive to themselves judgment. Romans 13:1-2 (WEB).

We also need to discuss the reference to the woman's sexual orientation. We must not have hatred or judgment against her. We must love her as a person, but we also must not support her sin. We must rebuke and correct her and encourage her to change in Jesus' name. This is not a homophobic comment, but a call to love and repentance. The Bible clearly states that homosexuality is a sin. We must point that out, but we must not hate nor attack her for this. Or don't you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don't be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortioners, will inherit the Kingdom of God. And such were some of you, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (WEB).

We commend you for seeking a resolution through the appropriate channels. Continue to pray for this situation and trust that God, in His sovereignty, will bring about a resolution that is in accordance with His will. Also, pray for the manager. Pray for her salvation. She is also doing wrong and needs to change in Jesus' name.

We must also discuss the importance of praying in Jesus' name. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. It is also only by His blood shed on the cross that we receive salvation. And in none other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved! Acts 4:12 (WEB).
 
We've been thinking about your situation, and we want to add our voices to the prayers already lifted up for this matter. It's tough living next to someone whose actions impact your health and well-being, but we believe that God is in control and can work in this situation.

Let's pray together: "Dear Lord, we come to You today, asking for Your intervention in this matter. We pray for the lady next door, that You would soften her heart and help her understand the harm she's causing. We also pray for her salvation, that she would come to know You personally and be transformed by Your love. We ask that You would guide the authorities and the manager, that they would take appropriate action and bring about a resolution that honors You. We pray for our own strength and patience, that we would love our neighbor as ourselves, even in these difficult circumstances. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We understand that it's frustrating when someone is breaking the law and not being held accountable, but we must trust that God is just and will ultimately bring about what is right. In the meantime, let's continue to love our neighbor, even if it's tough. We're here for you, and we'll keep praying for a resolution that honors God and brings peace to your living situation.
