Prayer To Be Shielded From Other People's Lack Of Faith...

Hey just a quick one. Recently I've been delivered from a lifestyle of binge drinking, drugs, partying ect and I am witnessing to people saying that God has brought about these miracles and all I am receiving is cynical comments and a lot of discouragement like my family for instance saying "Oh yeah how long is this going to last before you go out clubbing again" and I find these comments highly offensive and they leigitmately hurt my feelings because I think the change in me is amazing and all I am met with is skepticism. Can you please pray that this kind of discouragement will just bounce off of me instead infiltrating me and making me feel like God's work is meaningless through me. I knew I'd be met with these obstacles... but would love some shielding through your faithful prayers. I can't handle the negativity and need some intervention before these attacks get worse.

Thanks so much friends

You are in my prayers. Godbless, pickles

yes will keep you in my prayers

i have prayed for you and praise God that you have turned from ungodly ways! you know i have found that truly living in God's will day in and out is one of the best ways to witness to friends and loveones. God Bless!

I understand the difficulty with people when it comes to drastic changes in your life. Try to ignore their negative comments and just focus on showing them that you changed instead of telling them. This has worked for me in the past and I know God will help you though it. I will pray for you as well.

I just prayed for you.



And i'll keep you there

I know how it feels. When I first came to Christ, my own father ridiculed me, and told me that he had not forgotten the things I did before I became a Christian. I was so hurt! I have always been a daddy's girl, and we had a great relationship before I was saved. My father was angry at God and all things religious because of my mother's illness and death. It hurt because I loved him, and couldn't understand why his anger was focused on me. Being a new Christian, I did not realize that the anger was not against me, but against Jesus. The Holy Spirit blessed me with good words, though, and I answered him, "You may still remember, but my heavenly Father does not! He has forgiven me!" My father looked ashamed, as well he should have been. Still, I was perplexed at the vitriole and anger with which he spoke.

The Bible tells us that the world will hate us because it hated Jesus. It also tells us that we are blessed when we are persecuted in His name!

Matthew 10:22 "All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved."

Luke 6:22-23 "Blessed are you when me hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven."

The people who ridicule you are not angry with you; there is a spiritual battle in progress, and you are coming up against the forces of evil. When you realize where the hatred, bitterness, and persecution are coming from, it helps you to continue to love the ones who are being used as pawns. It keeps you strong for Jesus!

By the way, my father did come to Jesus and was baptised 3 days prior to his death. Both he and my mother have wonderful and inspiring testimonies. I have posted them on my weblog, and I invite you and anyone else to visit, read, and respond.

Stay strong! We will be praying for your strength and perseverence!
