The Devil Is Using My Neighbor

This neighbor I begged to be family Is back on crack He is having fits I had to call off my new job He doesn't get it. He just said I can leave in a fit. I knew this day would come I pray for a housing miracle this Christmas season. I am tired of being around fake poor spirits. God give me a reason I threw up today at work and got right back to work God has to help this situation it truly hurts Black peoples pain may come from history But black women's pain comes from our men who refuse to look within and live a life of sin I pray. I know God got it. I grin.

Love ya, I pray you find a new home away from this that you can have peace and comfort around you, all this foolishness around you now I think you can see in your neighbors is that they are living their own path in seperation from God, this is everywhere everyone's fight and hatred for one another is because they are seeking things of this world and it shall never fill that void we all are seeking, Only when we give up and seek God shall we inherit a new spirit being that seeks love.

Yes! I am praying. It is crazy because I just got a new job and its like he's possessed now. Its like when we were both unemployed he was encouraging now that I am working the devil is taking over. You are so correct & thank you. Please keep me in mind. I do not want to lose this job. I am tired of being in others space. My dad disenfranchised me years ago w/a false felony (he's a lawyer) this is the first year its been dropped. Its been an exhausting long season of trials. I truly pray this is the end.
