I would like to ask for prayer as I am struggling with an issue which I have had for many years but seems to be affecting me more now than in the past. I find that I am often overlooked by other people and in particular I am always the one to get dropped to allow times for other things. This has been a particular problem for my work recently and when I an to discuss things and get a bit of guidance on what I am doing or check I am heading on the right direction and arrange a meeting to go through things I seem to get it cancelled every time. I know that this does not happen to anyone else in the organisation. I often find this is the case in my personal life and church life as well. I even had a meeting arranged with my pastor this week where I was going to raise this. He had scheduled an hour fort me but his previous meeting overran by about 3/4 hour so we started very late. We chatted a bit about how work was going generally and then his next appointment turned up on time. He just left me and said rearrange for next week. Exactly the problem I was going to raise with him came form him as well.

This has been going on for a while and is starting to get me down, to the point where I am even considering leaving the church. It just feels like I am always overlooked and that no one ever gives me positive feedback and encouragement at work at home or at church. All I get is negative comments from people and taken advantage of. I try to be gracious in this but sometimes it just becomes a burden I struggle with. PLease pray for srength for me and for psotive input from those around me.

Will pray. I would attend church and try to block out the social side of it. Sadly, church isn't different sometimes socially from a work setting. I have to more or less condition myself not to expect much socially, outside of my wife, family, and long term friends. People mean well, but they are busy, or have trouble looking past their own lives.

I know what it is like to be "overlooked" or "ignored." I agree with HereIStand; folks have difficulty looking past their own lives. In any event, I am a born-again Believer in Jesus as Savior and I daily follow Him as Lord. CF is a major portion of my Christian outreach. I look past my own previous difficulties and stand amazed in His Amazing Grace.

I heard the Lord say you have spiritual embargos placed upon you.
They bring hindrances in one's life in the natural if not canceled in time in the spiritual realm.
Do a Google search for "prayer points against satanic embargo" to research on it and pray them for release.

Shalom and blessings,

Father, I pray that You will enable @GirdYourLoins to rest in Your love and be totally satisfied in You, his true source of security and love. Allow him to see himself as the man of God You have created him to be, fully confident in You, His Rock and His strength. Help him learn Your ways as he walks through this difficulty, and see that Christ, himself was despised and rejected in His walk on earth as well. I pray that You will raise up some Christian friendships for him that will be mutually edifying and encouraging.

Father, what a shame to have this problem of being overlooked. May they take some comfort in the fact that You never overlook them, and are never to busy or distracted from them. I believe that You would have them receive some human recognition, and I pray that You will lead their work/employer and church and others to give it to them. I know that just a little human recognition has prevented suicides in the past, or has been such an encouragement to lead people on to great things. May this one receive such encouragement. Amen.

Shalom and blessings,
I've definitely felt there is something like this going on in my life. I have always felt there is something blocking me moving forward and being more successful. Ive had a look at it now but will spend more time reading about this and praying tomorrow. Thank you.

Thank you. Suicide is certainly not an issue or temptation for me. It was for my brother a few years ago though. He refused to accept Christ as his saviour and in the end hung himself. I have accepted Jesus as my personal saviour and He has healed me of much of the damage of a traumatic childhood.
