A situation has arisen in the last few days that seems to have got me into serious trouble. I won’t go into details, but the worst case scenario involves me in jail and the other guy with a nervous breakdown. He already wants to kill me. The worst part is that I don’t know how it all blew up to these proportions and how it will be solved. I haven’t a clue how to right things with the other guy, or to try to get him back to a better spot, but I have a peacemaker in there as I speak. There seems to be little I can do.
Honestly, I feel like I’m such a pious hypocrite sometimes. I get some stuff so right in life, but other stuff so wrong, and I feel like I’m tied to a giant rubber band that drags me back to where I don’t want to be. When I cleaned up my life, it often feels like trouble came for me when I least wanted it. It’s not the only problem I’ve got right now. I’ve got a neighbor as well who makes physical threats and insults when I ask him to move his vehicle away from my driveway to spaces fifty feet away, so I can get in and out of my home. In that case I think I’m in the right, in this one I’m not so sure.
I would appreciate your prayers for both me AND the other party. We’re both in a tight spot just now.
I appreciate your thoughts and prayers. Thank you. Something miraculous has happened, which seems to have resolved this situation. Met with the other party and used some diplomacy in what could have ended up a very nasty legal issue. But I feel some divine help might have sorted this mess.
Thing is though, I want to stay out of these kinds of matters in the future. I admit some blame in it, but it got out of hand. I don’t want to spend my existence as a low-life, I’m in the church to become a better person. It’s helped, but I came very close to becoming completely wasted today.

It doesn’t sound like you will because you recognize your part in what goes on and you know where to go for support. Best wishes!
Continued thoughts and prayers, friend. I have a horrible memory for some things (ironic, I know, given my great memory for old posts and threads here), so my personal prayers usually are for “everyone for whom I have said I will pray”. I figure God knows who I mean – and it allows me to pray for lots more people than I could remember by name.
😳 In this case, however, I will mention you by name.

SamBee, I can totally relate to your predicament. I want to be a good person, but I have flaws including anger management problems. To keep me out of sticky situations, I sort of have a line in the sand that I draw. That line in the sand is anything that could get me arrested or in trouble with the law.
I hate getting the police involved, but if your neighbor is making physical threats you should call the police. Don’t try to resolve the situation yourself, you will just get dragged down into it.
Kudos to your doctor for actually giving you a blood test! Hope you are feeling better. Hang in there.
Thanks for all of your kind comments. AG, definitely, I’m trying to deal with the matter legally, but it’s somewhat hard in that you need two witnesses to everything here. If it’s just me and the other person, it’s not enough. A quirk of our legal system here. I could do plenty of illegal things to him, but it would get me into trouble, and just make the situation worse!
I’m glad that you didn’t get wasted. This never sholves the problem, it usually makes it worse. Keep things positive and keep your head. Hi Sam, I’m glad that the most pressing concern worked out.
I hope you can also resolve things with your neighbor.
Occasionally, I’ve had a little trouble with a neighbor & both of us have tried to make peace by giving each other treats.
Maybe you could do something nice for them and tell them you’d like to get along, tell them you will try to do your part & you appreciate the times when they’ve been nice (or something like that).
I hope the best for you & will pray for you.
