[__ Prayer __] Intimidation 🤨

[Christ_empowered]

It happens periodically. Keeps in mind that I live in a quiet modest but safe and comfortable area. Ok

This time it was some man’s booming voice from the upstairs unit while I was on that floor checking my mail. On the plus side…

I’m actually getting my mail. That’s a huge step forward. So..in light of where I’ve been and also of what could be happening…

This is minor. Ok thank God. I’m just…

Understandably frustrated at times.

I guess I’m just praying for what I need to lean into Christ and not on my own flesh and praise Him even when I’d rather not.

Thanks

You have to go upstairs to check your mail? That seems weird to me, lol.

You could always get a PO box. Their not that much money per year.

I guess I’m just praying for what I need to lean into Christ and not on my own flesh and praise Him even when I’d rather not.

1 Corinthians 10:13
13 The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.../NLT

Temptations are another word for trials. The enemy is sifting you because of your faith in Christ and Jesus is allowing it so that it can be a test for you.

In other words, it is a spiritual attack, but the Lord wants to see how you react in such situations. There is a spiritual victory if you do good, and a setback f you do not do good.

It's likely that their plan is to make you frustrated and angry. So you have to do is Bless them, feel compassion for them, and even pray for them.

Simple, huh? But on the bright side, the Lord did say that he will not put more upon you than you can bear. So, hang in there, Brother! Praise the Lord!

Thanks Edward . Seriously. I don’t actually mean to take over this forum but…

No Christian’s here near me to talk fundamentals with. None. I love my parents but they’re not believers and honestly? I don’t want to put more on them yet again. I’ve got my security system and everything so…

At a certain point I just need to pray and live in faith. At the same time…

The Christian worldview is fundamentally different from what the world offers so I like to come here. It’s especially important since the local church situation is…iffy in my case. Not that they aren’t Christian enough just that I’m an outcast and things seem to be getting more intense not less..,

Thanks again.
