"When a man's ways please the Lord, he will cause even his enemies to be at peace with him"...Counteract the enemies attacks with steadfast Christlike characteristics, turning the other cheek as much as possible, and realizing that God will not put more on you, than you can bear, but he needs you to fight the good fight of faith! to do the "WWJD" command, and not fight fire with fire, for we know that our weapons are not carnal....the word, which is spiritual,,shall defeat all carnal attacks in the end. *AMEN*

Dear Opp. I understand where you coming from, there have been times when I have been persecuted and treated unfairly. Not too long ago, one of my co-workers was sexually harrassing me. I work with all men and they sure did stick together. I went home crying and mad day after day. I asked for help from the higher ups, but they really did not do anything to improve the situation. I got to the point where I wanted to hurt this individual, I felt so alone, I was full of rage and anger. Anyway, I could not go on any longer, I began to pray for this guy, pray for his health, salvation, his job security, all of it! An amazing thing happened, when I let go, and did what Jesus said to do "love your enemies and pray for those who hurt you", all of a sudden, he started treating me kind, and stopped bothering me. I have had other people who I forgave for various hurts also, one of them my moms boyfriend when I was a kid. God, in His kindness and wisdom and love, turned my world upside down, shook off all the junk that needed to be taken out of my life, and put in its place peace and a hope for the future. God is so incredibly awesome, listen to Him and do what His word says. He will make it all right, believe me, I know!! Father, God and Saviour, How I love You, I look to You for my day to day survival, I pray for Opps, and his/her situation and the people that are making her/him fret and worry and are causing pain. Jesus, saviour, I am standing in the gap for opps, and I ask You to please bless these advasaries, give them peace, help them to seek You, cover them with Your blood covering Lord, heal their minds, souls, bodies, and I pray a hedge of protection around them, that no evil would prevail in or around them, In Jesus Name, I pray and believe, Amen.
