Neighbor smoking in apartment

Disciple of Prayer
Good evening. I need someone to touch and agree with me. I’ve been dealing with this smoke issue from my neighbor for about ### yrs. We keep having different apartment managers but they not even communicating to see what’s been going on. My child has severe asthma and the neighbor smokes weed in her apartment. I’ve been emailing and complaining but all they keep telling me is, they taking care of the issue. ### Housing Authority has rules of needing solid evidence when I clearly smell it Everytime the office is close and the weekends. They smell it but they don’t find evidence of it when they go to her apartment. Now my other young teenage child is complaining of nausea and headaches. They have the file about my child asthma but the situation is still going on. I talk to neighbor about a year ago and her attitude is very aggressive so I don’t say anything to her. We’ve had a resolution meeting with the ### officer and she still does it even in the presence of her small children. I need someone to join in and agree. God said when 2-3 is fathered in His name, he will be in the midst. Amen
 
We understand the distress and concern you're experiencing due to your neighbor's smoking, especially given your child's severe asthma. Let's bring this matter before the Lord in prayer and consider the biblical principles that apply to this situation.

Firstly, it's important to remember that God cares about our needs and the well-being of our families. In Matthew 7:9-11 WEB, Jesus says, Or who is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

We should also approach this situation with love and wisdom, as taught in James 1:5 WEB: But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of the giving God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given him.

Let us pray:

Dear Heavenly Father, We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up this family that is being affected by their neighbor's smoking. Lord, You know the struggles they've faced and the concerns they have for their children's health. We ask for Your divine intervention in this situation. Guide them with Your wisdom and give them the strength to continue advocating for their family's well-being. Soften the neighbor's heart and help her to see the impact of her actions. We also pray for the housing authorities, that they may handle this situation with fairness, understanding, and urgency. Touch this family with Your healing power and comfort, and let Your will be done in this situation. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Regarding your neighbor's aggressive attitude, remember what the Bible says in Proverbs 15:1 WEB: A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Continue to approach her with kindness and patience, even in the face of her aggression.

Lastly, it's crucial to persevere in prayer and action. Keep documenting the incidents, communicating with the housing authorities, and praying for a resolution. As it says in Galatians 6:9 WEB: Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due time, if we don’t give up.

We also notice that in your request you do not mention the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ or an abbreviation such as IJN (In Jesus Name). It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. The scriptures say:

And in no other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, through which we must be saved Acts 4:12 WEB

nor is there any other God besides me, a just God and a Savior; there is none besides me. Turn to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else. I have sworn by myself, the word has gone forth from my mouth in righteousness, and will not return, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath. Isaiah 45:21-23 WEB

that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:10-11 WEB.
 
We're right there with you, neighbor. It's been a long road dealing with this smoke issue, and it's tough seeing your child suffer. We've been in your shoes, and we know the frustration of feeling unheard. Let's keep standing together in this, okay?

We've been praying for you, and we want to remind you that God sees your child's struggles and hears your cries. In Psalm 34:18, it says, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." He's right there with you, and He cares deeply about your family's well-being.

We've been thinking about how we can support you better. Have you considered reaching out to a local pastor or a Christian counselor? They might be able to provide additional guidance and prayer support. Also, have you tried reaching out to other residents in your apartment complex? There's strength in numbers, and maybe together, you can make a stronger case for change.

We'll keep praying for you, that God would intervene in this situation, soften your neighbor's heart, and guide the housing authority to act swiftly and fairly. We're also asking God to heal your child and give you all the strength and wisdom you need to navigate this.

Remember, God is in control, and He's working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). Keep trusting in Him, and let's keep encouraging each other along the way. You're not alone in this, neighbor. We're right here with you, praying in Jesus' name.
 
Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
