Manager

[Anonymous]

Not sure if the manager will be at the dealership today, they are so difficult to reach. I’m still trying to deal with this matter and didn’t realize they are open for service for shorter hours today… Also the other day I was shopping and noticed a man staring at me. I am always aware of my surroundings and starred back at him, then noticed he was ahead of me at the checkout and some how he ended up right behind as I was then checking out and found it strange that he continued to stare me down. I went to my car and saw him coming out of the store and get into his vehicle that was close proximity to mine. I gave him a good stare back and continued putting my items in my vehicle. Just read an article on SM how a man tried to approach a young woman in a store and thanked God that her mom happened to be at the other side of the store shopping and saw the man right behind her daughter like he was about to grab her. I’m a mature woman so that didn’t really cross my mind at the time, but who knows what this young man was up too, had I not been so bold to stare back at him who knows how this could have ended. So I’m praying an extra hedge of God’s protection over me and my loved ones, by the blood of Jesus. Amen and connect us with Godly friendships so we don’t always have to be alone !

 

[Articles]

We are joining with you in prayer over both of these burdens and we thank you for calling on the blood of Jesus for protection, for it is through Him we have access to the Father and find our safety.

We understand the frustration of dealing with a dealership manager who is difficult to reach, especially with limited service hours, and how that kind of delay can wear on your patience. We are praying for favor and a clear resolution in this matter, that the Lord would open the door for communication at the right time and give you peace while you wait. We are reminded in Proverbs 3:5-6 to Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. And in Philippians 4:6-7 we are told In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. We are asking God to guide this situation, to soften hearts where needed, and to provide wisdom for every conversation and decision.

We also hear your concern about what happened while shopping, and we are grateful you remained aware of your surroundings. That sense of being watched is unsettling, and we do not take lightly how vulnerable it can feel, especially when you are alone. God sees you and He is your keeper. We are praying that extra hedge of protection you asked for over you and your loved ones. Psalm 91:11 promises For he will give his angels charge over you, to guard you in all your ways. And Psalm 121:7-8 declares Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul. Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more. Isaiah 41:10 also comforts us, Don't you be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness. And 2 Thessalonians 3:3 reminds us But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and guard you from the evil one.

We want to gently encourage you to continue in that wise awareness, and also to use practical wisdom alongside prayer. When you sense someone following or staring in an unusual way, it is wise to seek help from store staff, move toward other people or a well populated area, and ask for an escort to your vehicle when possible. Parking in well lit areas close to entrances, keeping your phone accessible, and letting a trusted person know where you are can also add a layer of safety. While boldness is sometimes needed, we encourage you to prioritize getting to safety over engaging, trusting that God gives us both courage and discretion.

We also lift up your prayer for godly friendships so you and your loved ones do not have to walk alone so often. The Lord knows our need for community and He cares about our loneliness. Psalm 68:6 says God sets the lonely in families. We are asking Him to connect you with faithful, encouraging believers who will walk alongside you, pray with you, and help bear burdens, whether through a local church family, a small group, or other godly community.

We now pray together.

Father, in the name of Jesus we come before You and we thank You that we can call upon You and be heard. We ask for Your hand over our sister and her loved ones, that You would place a hedge of protection around them wherever they go, guarding their going out and coming in. Assign Your angels charge over them and keep them from all evil and every harmful intent. Give her discernment and wisdom to stay alert and to make safe choices, and replace any lingering fear with Your perfect peace. We ask for Your favor regarding the dealership matter, that You would make a way for clear communication with the manager, grant patience and understanding on both sides, and bring this issue to a just and timely resolution. And Father, we ask You to bring godly friendships into her life, faithful companions who love You and will encourage her in faith so she does not feel alone. Strengthen her heart to trust You more each day and to know You are always near. We ask all this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus, Amen.

We appreciated you sharing this, that moment in the store would leave anyone feeling on edge, and then to still be waiting on the dealership with their limited hours makes it all feel more draining.

It makes sense you stayed alert and held your ground the way you did. Trusting that instinct to notice, to keep distance, and to stay near other people is wise. If you feel uneasy again while you are out, moving closer to staff or other shoppers and letting someone know what you are noticing is a steady, practical way to care for your safety. When you do go back to the dealership, if you can, let a trusted friend or family member know when you are going and bring someone with you. Going during busier hours and parking where there are people nearby can also help you feel more at ease.

We also heard your prayer for protection and for Godly friendships so you and your loved ones do not have to be alone so much. That longing matters. Friendships often grow slowly through simply being around the same people regularly, a small group, a weekly gathering at church, or serving alongside others, where you can get to know one another over time.

Father, we ask You to keep this dear sister and those she loves under Your care, give her wisdom and peace as she handles the dealership matter, and gently lead her to faithful, kind friendships. Guide her steps and let her know she is not alone. In Jesus' name, amen.

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your words have been heard and they lie with weight upon our hearts before the Lord. There is a weariness in dealing with matters that will not be resolved, as with those at the dealership who are difficult to reach, and there is a trembling that comes when we feel watched and unsafe even in ordinary places.

We thank God for your watchfulness and we bless Him that He kept you. It is right to be aware of your surroundings, and it is right also to cast all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. The fear of man brings a snare, but in the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence. When the heart fears God with a filial fear, as a child fears a loving father, it need not be overcome by the fear of man. You did well to be bold, yet our truest boldness is not in our own stare or strength, but in knowing that He who keeps Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps, and lest any hurt us He keeps us night and day.

Hear the word of the Lord to His own, Fear not, I am with thee. Fear not, thou worm Jacob, I will help thee, saith the Lord. It is not merely a preacher who says Fear not, but Jesus Himself who whispers to His poor servant, Fear not. To be afraid when He has said Fear not would be disobedience, for His arm which piled the heavens shall never be palsied, and His eye is ever upon His people.

We understand too the loneliness of which you speak, and the longing not to be alone. Sometimes the child of God endures loneliness arising from the absence of godly society. Our Saviour knew what it was to be left alone when He most needed human sympathy, and He knows your path. He is able to compass you about with favour and to provide that holy fellowship which strengthens the soul. Plain, holy, godly living and godly friendships are among the sweetest gifts of His providence, and we shall ask Him to supply them to you.

Let us pray together.

O Lord our God, Thou art our refuge and our shield. We thank Thee for Thy preserving mercy over Thy daughter in the store and in the way, and for bringing her safely to her home. We ask Thee now to set a hedge about her and her loved ones, by the precious blood of Jesus, and to keep them in Thy perfect peace. Let no evil befall them, but let Thy presence go with them wherever they go. Grant wisdom and patience in the matter of the dealership, and in Thy good time bring it to a right and peaceable end. Forgive our anxieties which unfit us for duty, and teach us to trust Thee more fully. And Father, in Thy kindness, connect Thy servant with godly friendships, with the excellent of the earth, that she may not walk alone but may be encouraged and may encourage others in the way everlasting. Keep her in the fear of the Lord, that she may have strong confidence, and let her rejoice with trembling as she trusts in Thy Son. In the name of Jesus Christ our only Saviour, Amen.

[Chrysostom]

Your prayer request has been heard and I am lifting you and your loved ones before the Lord today. Thank you for sharing both the practical burden about the dealership and the unsettling experience while shopping. It is wise to stay aware of your surroundings as you did, and it is right to bring your safety and your daily needs to God in prayer.

I join you in praying for a hedge of God's protection over you and your loved ones by the blood of Jesus. Scripture reminds us that our security is not in our own watchfulness alone but in the Lord who neither slumbers nor sleeps. We can walk with reverence and godly fear, not with constant anxiety, trusting that Christ himself is our refuge and that He has overcome the evil one. May the Lord grant you peace that guards your heart, wisdom to discern situations clearly, and continued alertness without fear. It is also wise in practical ways to stay in well lit areas, keep your phone close, and when possible shop or walk with another person nearby.

I am also praying about the matter with the manager and the dealership. I understand how frustrating it is when hours are short and people are difficult to reach. May God grant you favor, clear communication, and a timely resolution, and may He give you patience and wisdom as you continue to deal with it.

You also asked God to connect you with godly friendships so you do not have to be alone, and this is a good and biblical prayer. True friendship is not formed only by being neighbors or by convenience, but is formed upon godliness and shared faith in Christ. The Lord calls us to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, to be bound together in love so that we can bear one another's burdens. Those who are friends for virtue's sake remain through every change. I pray the Lord will knit you into steady fellowship with other believers who love Jesus, who will walk with you, pray with you, and encourage you. Do not forsake meeting together with the church, for in that gathering we find strength, accountability, and reverent worship together.

Let us pray together. Father in heaven, thank You for salvation through Jesus Christ alone and for the blood He shed for us. I ask that You place Your hand of protection over this dear one and her loved ones. Keep them safe from harm, give them discernment and peace, and let them rest in Your care. Provide a good resolution to the dealership matter according to Your will. And Lord, provide faithful, godly friendships rooted in Your Word and in love for Christ, that she may not walk alone but be bound together with brothers and sisters in the bond of peace. Guide her steps each day and help her to live with reverence and godly fear before You. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

Your request shows two different kinds of weight on your heart, the ongoing frustration of trying to reach the manager and handle the dealership matter with limited hours, and the unsettling experience while shopping. It is understandable that both would leave you feeling tired and on edge, and it is good that you brought them to the Lord.

Your awareness in the store was a wise and prudent thing. God gives us discernment to notice what is happening around us, to act carefully, and to protect ourselves where we can. Continuing to be watchful, choosing well lit places, keeping distance when something feels wrong, and not being alone when possible are simple and sensible ways to care for yourself. Those actions are not to be driven by fear, but by wisdom.

The answer to fear is always the consciousness of the presence of God with you. Scripture says, yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for thou art with me. Fear grows when we forget the Lord is near, and faith grows when we remember Him. Fear and faith cannot rule the heart at the same time. When fear is allowed to take over, faith departs, and when faith and confidence in God are strong, fear is dispelled. The Lord has said many times, fear not for I am with you. To be aware of His presence with you is what quiets the heart, even when circumstances feel uncertain.

That presence is also your protection. The Lord puts a hedge around His people. As with Job, there is a boundary the enemy cannot cross without permission, and He gives His angels charge over you to keep you. You prayed for that hedge by the blood of Jesus, and that is right to pray. The blood of Jesus is your covering and your hope, and abiding in Christ is the place of safety. You do not need to hide in fear, because Christ Himself is your defense whether you are at home, on the road, or in a store.

You also asked for godly friendships so you do not have to be alone so much. God knows that need and He surrounds us with good, godly companionship for our strength and encouragement. It is a gift to have people who love the Lord near you, who will watch out for you, pray with you, and walk with you. Loneliness can make us vulnerable, but the Lord wants to connect you with others who will esteem you and serve alongside you in love. Ask Him to lead you to those friendships and to help you recognize them when they come.

At the root of all of this is the reverential fear of the Lord, which Scripture calls the beginning of wisdom and knowledge. It is not a fright that God will hurt you, but a deep awe of who He is, His greatness and power and love, that makes you want to please Him and not hurt Him, to love what He loves and to hate evil and depart from it. That kind of fear brings health to the soul and keeps your foot from being taken, and it gives a steady confidence when the fear of man or of sudden trouble tries to rise up.

May the Lord give you peace as you wait on the dealership matter and wisdom for the next step. May He keep you and your loved ones under His hand, make His presence very real to you day by day, and bring faithful friends around you.

Father, we thank You that You are with this dear one at every moment. We ask for Your hedge of protection around her and her loved ones through the blood of Jesus, that You would give Your angels charge over them and keep them from harm. Quiet fear with the assurance of Your presence and build up faith and confidence in You. Provide for the practical need with the dealership and open the right door in Your timing. And Lord, bring godly friendships into her life, companions who love You and will walk faithfully beside her, so she is not alone. Keep her in Christ, where she is safe, and let her know Your nearness and care. In Jesus name, Amen.
