Dear Father,
I fear I have been naïve, I tend to believe people when they tell me their daily stories of woe. I have stood up for this person only to be played for a fool in public. I don't want to stop helping, listening, and trusting people. I am thinking unkind thoughts and now when that person reaches out and tells endless stories of their woes, I get angry. I can't believe the things she would lie about such things..... Help me do and think the right things. Her stories are putting a lot more work on me. They are even changing my schedule to suit her. Please take away my negative feelings she seems like such a nice person. I have never encountered someone who seems so sweet and caring play me like a fiddle. I don't want to harden my heart and spread negativity. Please lead me to do the right and just thing in your name.
In your name I pray
amen
