pray to end conflict among friends - Guest - 10-22-2011 08:57 PM
My wife and two friends went on a camping trip. During that trip, someone engaged in gossip, it was spread amongst them somehow. I don't quite understand who said what, because I was not there. Nonetheless, there is anger between the parties involved. I tried to bring them together to resolve it, and one of them chafed at the idea, and in response has become more aggressive toward the other two.
So now my attempt to help make peace has backfired and things have gotten worse. So please pray for them to resolve their problems. Please ask that they not hate me for loving to them.
I also doubt whether I should continue to be kind to others. I've taken in a homeless person and she turned out to have a drug addiction and endangered my family. I've given rides to mentally ill persons and persons walking the road with no shoes, and my family verbally abused me for potentially risking my life. I try to help make peace amongst my friends and my wife, and it blows up in my face. If loving my neighbor is so painful, why do it?

Dear Lord,
Please bless this person for all they do to help others. Help us to remember that when we do things in your name and in accordance with your teaching, we are helping to bring peace and justice to this world that You have given us. Lord, I pray that this person will bring peace to the friendships that he is trying to heal.
Lord, at times when we feel that our efforts to help others are in vain, help us to know Your love and guidance.
Amen.
