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 stray, 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.
