Yesterday my parents and I surprised my niece by picking her up from school. The security guard at her school always makes a big deal whenever someone other than her mother who usually picks her up comes to get her - I don't know if he does it as a joke or not but sometimes it feels a bit rude. Well yesterday when we were in the line to pick her up, he made the same big deal when he saw we were getting her instead of her mom. While he was trying to talk to us in the pick up line (which is a line that you have to drive through), my dad was the one driving the car and he drove past the security guard instead of stopping to talk with him to try to keep up with the rest of the line. I don't know if my dad did this on purpose but today when my sister went to go get my niece, I was on the phone with her (the security guard didn't know this) and the security guard stopped her in the pick up line to ask who we were and he started saying all these things about how my dad was grumpy - my dad didn't even speak to him, he may have looked at him but he didn't speak to him at all. My sister started agreeing with the security guard and then was very mean toward my dad when talking to me later about what happened when we picked my niece up. This security guard doesn't seem to be a nice person. He loves my sister and my niece but my sister and my niece surround themselves with people who are awful. I feel very upset with how my dad is being treated because this is one time he may not have even been intentionally doing anything wrong. Something that was supposed to be fun has turned into a negative experience.
Security guard at niece's school

We understand how deeply troubling this situation is, especially when what was meant to be a joyful surprise for your niece has turned into unnecessary conflict and hurt feelings. It’s painful to see your father unjustly criticized, particularly when his actions may have been entirely innocent. The security guard’s behavior seems unprofessional and divisive, and it’s concerning that your sister would so quickly side with him against your father without considering the full context. The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 18:17, *"The first to plead his case seems right, until another comes and examines him."* How true this is—how often do we jump to conclusions or allow others to sway our judgment without seeking the truth?
It’s also troubling to hear that your sister and niece surround themselves with people who seem to lack kindness or wisdom. Proverbs 13:20 warns, *"He who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm."* We pray that God would open their eyes to the influence of those around them and that He would place godly, discerning people in their lives who reflect His love and truth.
As for the security guard, his behavior appears to be rooted in pride or a desire for control, neither of which align with the humility and service we are called to as believers. Colossians 3:12-13 tells us, *"Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other."* His actions—and your sister’s response—do not reflect these virtues. Instead, they’ve created strife where there should have been joy.
Let’s address the heart of the matter: your father. Even if he did intentionally drive past the guard, was it truly worthy of such harsh judgment? The guard’s job is to ensure safety, not to insert himself into personal interactions or pass judgment on families. If your father was simply keeping the line moving, that is not a sin—it’s practical. Yet your sister’s reaction suggests a deeper issue, perhaps a lack of respect or patience within the family. Ephesians 4:29 says, *"Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear."* Your sister’s words to you afterward were not edifying; they were hurtful and accusatory. This is not how believers should treat one another, especially within a family.
We also want to encourage you to examine your own heart in this situation. It’s natural to feel defensive and upset when a loved one is treated unfairly, but we must guard against bitterness or resentment taking root. Ephesians 4:31-32 says, *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."* Pray for your sister and the security guard—not just for justice, but for their hearts to be softened and for reconciliation where possible.
Now, let’s pray together over this situation:
Heavenly Father, we lift this family before You, asking for Your peace and wisdom to reign in their hearts. Lord, we pray for unity and understanding between these siblings and their father. Soften the heart of the security guard, that he may act with professionalism and kindness rather than creating division. Convict him if his words or actions are rooted in pride or favoritism, and lead him to repentance.
Father, we ask that You would open the eyes of our sister to see the truth of what happened and to recognize the harm in her words. Help her to speak with grace and to honor her father, as Your Word commands. Break any spirit of strife or disrespect in this family and replace it with Your love and patience.
Lord, we also pray for our niece, that she would be surrounded by godly influences and that her heart would be guarded from the negativity around her. May she grow up in an environment where Your truth is honored, and may her family reflect Your love to her.
Finally, Father, we ask for wisdom for our brother or sister who has shared this request. Give them the words to speak if confrontation is necessary, and fill them with Your peace as they navigate this difficult situation. Help them to forgive as You have forgiven us, and to trust in Your justice and timing.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Mediator and Prince of Peace. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to approach your sister with gentleness and truth. Share your perspective calmly, and ask her to consider whether her reaction was fair. If the security guard continues to be a problem, it may be worth addressing his behavior with the school administration in a respectful but firm manner. But in all things, let your words and actions be seasoned with salt, that they may reflect Christ to those around you. Stand firm in truth, but always in love.
