Asking for prayers for protection over myself, my kids, and my cat.

Just being harassed and there's an old man who keeps calling the cops on me I think because of noise or something.

Praying for you sis. May the Lord send his angels to guard and protect you and your family as you go in and out, lay down and awaken, according to his will, in Jesus mighty name :pray:

Ah Fluffy,

Have you considered praying for the "old man who keeps calling the cops on me/you, I think because of noise or something," and asking God to bless him and to include him among those whom he is calling unto Himself?

Have you considered approaching the old man and asking for forgiveness for disturbing him? Have you considered that the old man is perhaps lonely and ringing the cops is his way of interacting with other people to hide his loneliness.

Have you considered whether or not the problem is actually the old man who keeps calling the cops or is the problem closer to home in your case?

May the Lord reveal to you what are the issues that is causing trouble for you. May the Lord continue to draw you further into His loving encircling Embrace so that you may feel and know the peace that comes from being in relationship with God.

May the Lord teach you that the I/me syndrome is not a healthy place to inhabit and that a focus of being God's light in the place where you are living is what God requires from you.
May the Lord show you what buttons the old man is pushing in your life so that you can deal with those buttons.

Shalom

Ah Fluffy, @LadyofFireandLace,

Perhaps the old man has been previously hurt by other people and your presence living near him is pushing his buttons.

May the Lord give you revelation so that you can bring reconciliation between the old man and the people who have hurt him in the past.

Perhaps you may have to ask for forgiveness on behalf of the people who have hurt him in the past.

May the Lord give you opportunities to be able to talk with this "older man" to bring healing through you into His life.

Shalom

PS: - The OP was brief and I may be clutching for the short straw, so to speak. His actions are speak of the "me, me, me" factor. Are your reactions any different as it sounds like "me, me, me" as well in your request for prayer. He rang the cops to deal with his apparent problem, you have tried to ring God's bell for your apparent problem solution.

I wonder if a humble cake offering will help to break the ice.

Because of noise or something?
Within the last week, a new family moved in.

Apparently he heard kids being beaten and saying "ow." Or something. I can only assume that kids are being spanked before bedtime since it was after 8:30, or I strongly believe that they are kids and horsing around.

But to be honest, he is an old man and lives alone. He gets very irritable about noise in general. I think he would exaggerate to get himself some peace and quiet, because kids make noise.

I know another man that's his friend very well. He gave me some zucchini and onions from his garden today. I know he likes me so I am hoping my mother will get him to tell him to cut it out.

I went down to take the electronics to my mother's apartment, so my kids would come back to the real world and on the way I had a verbal waterfall about who it was and what happened and without meaning to I actually said and felt spiritually prompted, "That was very rude and it's intrusive!"

Turned out he was on his way out and I'm certain he heard me so he knows what I feel.

Okay. Would it help to get to know the guy?

Sometimes that helps. It depends on the person. I tried that with my neighbors who did some very hateful things to me, my dog, and my elderly neighbors. I made a sincere attempt to make peace with them. It had some good results ....but not a ton. Some people just like being mean and hateful.

How's it going otherwise in the new location and with your family Fluff?

Thank you.. Beethoven is a good boy and super super friendly.

Kids are doing good. Would have associated with the churches around here more, except I found out the town is so small and everyone here is bored so the community has a gossiping problem.

As in a woman I never met came up to me and told me everything about myself and my children, just to declare how much she knew about me, as a way to introduce herself.

It is a like a ghost town here in the middle of nowhere but where everybody knows your name.

~Cheers.
