it is a struggle for me sometimes to look beyond the ways of people...racist people, whether directly or indirectly...people who act above and higher than something or someone that they don't remotely try to understand..just flat out hateful and yet they yell "Praise God!" all day, everyday...phoney, fake people...unforgiving people...hateful and spiteful people...I soooooo desperately want to see everything and feel everything like Jesus does...and most of the time i succeed, then there are times when i will put on a smile, but it's not genuine, and the other times i just flat out get evil...and I HATE EVIL with a passion, i don't want it in me, at all...and it irks me to no end...I really need encouragement and uplift daily to carry me, if you find it in your heart, please pray for a struggling man...

Jesus, please give Forgiven One and increase in faith, hope and charity. Help him see past the imperfection in others, and see the person that you love. Give him a spirit of prayer for people in error, let his prayers be effective, so more souls will live in untiy of your Holy Will. When his is tempted to judgement, instead of mercy...Lord, hide him in your Love! Give him a peace deep in his soul, a place of refuge from the darken world we live in...comfort his restless spirit, so he will be refreshed again...to go out and live and spread your Gospel...My the Peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit..Amen..:crossrc:

Lord help Forgiven one and be with him as he sees only the good and not to criticize otehrs. That he is human and that satan wants to let him see opposite of you. Help him to find your mercy, kindness, and goodness. Lighten up his load as well as give him peace of mind and comfort. In your name, amen.

Heavenly Father, i pray that you would be with Forgiven One. Lord, that you would help him to not dwell on the anger that he sometimes comes across. Father, that you would help him to display the fruits of the Spirit in his life, and help him to be the man that you want him to be. Father i pray that you would work in the lives of those who are annoying him. Lord, that you would bring about a change in their lives, that they may see that the way they are living is wrong, so that they may change their lives to one that better serves you. Father, i pray that you would unite all of these fellow believers together, that they may work to accomplish your will in this world. In Jesus' name i pray, amen

Father, On behalf of my brother "Forgiven One" I bind and cast out satan from the thoughts of this man. I loose the abundance of spiritual enlightening in all areas and situations that arise in his life. May he understand the difference and his eyes open with enlightenment in every circumstance! In Jesus Name, Thank You, AMEN:prayer: :amen:

and yet they yell "Praise God!" all day, everyday...phoney, fake people...unforgiving people...hateful and spiteful people...

I honestly can't think of the exact verse. But, if memory serves, I think you're in pretty good company! As I recall, Jesus wasn't too crazy about these people either!

:prayer: Lord, give forgiven one the wisdom and patience to deal with the daily people he meets and remind him of your presence, even among those who don't represent you as best as they could.:amen:

Forgiven One...your struggles are understandable and you are not alone in this kind of treatment. There are many in the Church who can dismay you with biases and non- accepting attitudes. Hypocrisy is also a reality which thrives in churches. If it were me I would begin by praying for these offenders even when you don't feel like it...ask for God's mercy for them. Then I would realize that no matter what some may say or do...God loves you and accepts you as His Beloved.

Meanwhile my prayers for them and you.

In the Name of Jesus :prayer:

You really do sound youve got in a struggle at the moment, but have no fear the Lord is near. I think you could say we all as Christians feel a bit like this at times, but remember the fact is you have actually acknowledged the fact of the way you feel, and have opened up your heart to tell us and the Lord. This is your first good step because many wouldn't. The Lord will forgive you for how you feel and as you and others pray for you I'm sure God will give you a gentle heart and an understanding. This is a hurdle many of us need to overcome at times. So well done for being open and may you be blessed for that!
Lord I pray for forgiven one, and ask that you will soften his heart to others who he feels angry at when he tells them about you. Like he said Lord give him a heart like yours for others and show him how to show the love you give to others without being offended or hurt. Giive him guidance also Lord to continue to walk with you and grow in your Holy Spirit.
Amen:preach:
