After my husband divorced me, I struggled with depression. For a couple of years I've been siting next to a widower in Church. We are both elderly and he has recently moved into a flat for older people with a communal lounge and garden. Since then he has not seemed to want the sort of friendship I had been hoping for: a cup of coffee occasionally and maybe an afternoon out, for companionship and conversation.
Our Pastor spoke to me about my friendship with this man, thinking I wanted something more romantic than I do. There seems to be a complete disconnect between myself, my Pastor, and the man. As a result the man is going to other churches until after Christmas. I said if need be, I would change churches, but I really don't want to. (He's been a member for 40 years, so I would hate for him to have to change.)
Meanwhile my next door neighbour is having chemotherapy and I feel I need to tell her about the Lord. She's self-isolating atm so I can't visit her now. Also my very elderly cousin has Alzheimers and is against God. People's salvation is so important and I find it difficult to deal with all this.
Please pray that things get sorted out with this man and no-one will have to change churches. Also that the Holy Spirit will move in the lives of my neighbour, and my cousin, and I will have the courage to talk to my neighbour about the Lord.
Many thanks and God bless you.
