Would appreciate prayer

[Jenster]

Hello! I'd appreciate prayer for emotional protection and patience. A person on my ministry team (who had been interested in me) is psychologically troubled. He's got a lot of past hurts that he's never dealt with and have hardened his heart. But he is too proud to admit this.

In working with him on the team, he seems to be taking out his anger on me through snide comments, degrading my ideas, etc.

I would like to have support in this situation, but am concerned about bringing this to the rest of our ministry team, who are all men. I'm not at all convinced these particular guys could handle or help resolve a conflict situation.

I will try to stay away from this person, but would appreciate prayer for some sort of intervention in this, as well as protection from him and patience on my part.

In the past, I already made the effort to resolve one situation with this person. But he has expectations I will never be able to meet, and he did not appear to gain any insight into himself since last time. He is manipulative and angry. I feel stuck.

His favor surrounds you as a shield, He sets right your path and gives you grace to deal with this person, and also opens the eyes of your teammates to see what is going on. Persevere! Fight the good fight of faith (just not with the guy ).

 

[Jenster]

Thank you and bless you, akasmom. I was just spending some time alone, stewing over this situation (oops), and the Lord helped me realize why it is creating such anxiety for me. This person is treating me with disrespect, and I started feeling victimized and helpless -- maybe even as though I am to blame for something. Fortunately, the Lord reminded me of the truth. This person may think he can manipulate my emotions, but he's barking up the wrong tree. God is my rock. In faith, I will believe that God is using this situation for His purposes.

Please uplift this person on the ministry team and help that person get the peace as well as what they need to do and give them the right state of mind. In your name, amen.

Psalms 18:1-41
I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

Lord, bless your daughter, who is having these difficulties. She greatly trusts in you, bless her with joy and strength in your presence with her at all times. Help this man, who is in some distress and help her brothers in the Lord realise what is happening and work towards a resolution.
Asking this in the name of the Lord
Amen!

Lord of all, I lift up ____ to You. You know his pain and You know his struggles. Lord God, in Your mercy and Your unfailing love, please shower ____ today with peace and an understanding that You care for him and have always cared for him, even in those times he felt You abandoned him. For his spiritual health, please remove any evil spirits that plague him -- by Your powerful name, Jesus. Lord please lead ____ to have a repentant heart, forsaking the idol of pride and choosing to love You and love others as himself. IN Jesus' precious name, Amen.

I know how that person feels because I was once and still am but not as bad as I used to be an angry and lonely person as time worked on me and hopefully through prayer and love from the Lord as well as from this person's family and friends, that time will work on them as well.

I pray for Jenster & this person on the ministry team Lord. Open the eyes of this team member to the hurt he's causing himself, and those around him. Let him open up to people who care, and share the hurts with them, so they can be brought to You in prayer.

Amen

Father God, be with our sister Jenster. Grant her your peace, comfort and patience while she endures this very trying situation. Lord, intervene in this moment of crisis and deliver this difficult person from whatever causes his anger and manipulative ways. Be with this ministry as well Father & allow it to grow with everyone working in unison. In Jesus' name, Amen!
