Prayer Need

I need prayer this weekend. I had something occur at work that really upset me. A Christian colleague attacked me for my absences this year, telling me that I was milking the system because this same thing occurred last year at my other school. Well, last year I had my gastric bypass, and then three weeks after I returned to work my younger brother died. This year, I had hernia surgery and my older brother died three weeks after I went back to work. This "friend" attacked me the day after I came back to work after being out for my brother's funeral and all. I really do not know what to think. I thought we were friends, but she came in and cursed and blasted me, and when I asked if we could talk about it, she said there was nothing to talk about and left. This incident has me shaken, and paranoid wondering if people are talking about me at work now. Please pray for me concerning this. My food has been all goofy since then, as I am just a mess about it all. Hugs, Trish

Trish don't let this person throw you off your path. It sounds like she may have some problems of her own that she's taking out on you. Your absences have certainly been legitimate. I doubt that anyone is talking about you, she just may be annoyed about something else, maybe at another time she would share just what the issue is because you couldn't change the events that happened. I will certainly pray for you but we should probably pray for this lady too as it sounds like she needs it as much if not more than you. Even Christians have bad days, don't let it upset you so much. Hang in there!

Thanks, Karen. I guess I feel especially vulnerable right now, and just was thrown by this incident because I thought she and I were friends, and now she does not even speak to me. Thanks for praying for her too.

I am so sorry this happened to you. It hurts when those we think are friends do things like this. Thank Heavens we have a true friend in Jesus He alone knows your heart. I am praying for both of you maybe she will see how she has hurt you. You know you have done nothing wrong. Try to let it slide off your back you don't need that in your life. Put it in Gods hands

Trish, I am sorry that you are having to go thru this cir****tance with a colleague. We know that God is the only TRUE friend because He cannot fail us as our loving father. Think on His promises. I hope that by doing, this that every thought, word and deed for Him carries you away from the discouragement and dissappointment that this person has caused. "Be encouraged, you who worship God. The Lord listens to those in need." Psalm 69:32-33 NCV. You are in my prayers, friend. luvitsunnyv

Trish (((hugs))) I've been there with a lot of situations. I thought that commonalities and not just faith which brought myself and others together would actually have them be supportive of me with some of the most trying times of the last few years but it wasn't so. I came to learn through MUCH adversity that we will face trying times in our lives where we have to count on ourselves, the Lord and those who have only our friendship and love to gain not hurt and pain in our down times. You might consider writing her a letter expressing things that way. Give this over to the Lord and realize that explaining yourself at times does nothing more than add fuel to the fire. At times there is nothing you can say to make others "hear" you. The truth speaks for itself and will reveal itself. Pray that she seeks the Lord's forgivness and yours and hopefully ya'll can come together once more. Please know that we are here for you. All best, Kat
