I am new to posting at FR, although I've read the site often over the years, but, anyway, I am not sure how to go about requesting prayers -- if I'm supposed to enlist in some process or not -- so I decided to just go ahead and post a request directly. I am sure someone will explain any set procedure otherwise.
The prayer request I am making is for immediate helps. I hesitate to explain the specific circumstances but, generally, the situation is thus: I am being harmed by the bad intentions of others who are negatively impacting a service that I rely on, and by doing so, creating harms upon me, my life and circumstances.
If you've ever dealt with a local organization that is supposed to be organized and regulated by a federal agency, federal legislation, but which "interprets" and "edits" the legislation to suit whatever or whomever, and by that process interferes negatively on the lives of others by interfering with citizens' interaction with that federal legislation...inexplicably, without provocation, just because they can.
I met with some of these people this past week and my intuitive perspectives were confirmed (and confirmed afterward by someone who accompanied me) and that was that individuals involved in this situation (not of my choice or selection, I just have to work with these people by organization) were alarmingly negative without acceptable cause to and about me, that I'd presented accurate information in light of the legislation concerned but that, oddly, those to whom I presented it were, for lack of a better word, "dark" in their presence and in reference to me and what I'd presented. The person who accompanied me remarked that the body language alone of a few present was "surprising" in how "obviously" bothered about me they were. Which revealed by meeting them -- prior to the meeting, only in correspondence and/or by committee name only -- that what I puzzled about up to this point as to inexplicable and unsupportable decisions were, in fact, conclusions being made motivated by bad intentions and not (at all) by the legislation involved that requires, to the contrary, certain successful actions.
This is one of those situations that regardless of how much accuracy that is substantiated by federal legislation is presented, a small group of people affected toward the negative are harming others (me, specifically) by denying the legislation and who appear to fear no recourse, no authority to correct them or intervene (the federal level is notoriously deflective toward the local group, unfortunately, because, as was explained to me on a telephone call to a D.C. office, they "we just don't have the manpower to investigate complaints").
So, what appears to have occured is that a certain intermediate group has grown far too unbridled in their presumptuous "rewriting" of existing federal legislation and it has created real harms to me, and others of similar circumstances.
I really need prayer. The negativity is inexplicable, but obvious -- whatever burr under the blanket of this small intermediate group is, it's obviously there but they aren't explaining it but they sure do give themselves away when you see their body language and observe and experience their awful mismanagement of millions of federal dollars.
Please pray for me. I am asking for ongoing prayer through this week, especially.
I am a Christian, a Catholic, and a few local persons have also prayed for me, and, a person who attended with me the meeting of last week is also a Catholic, a very faithful person. Even he commented after the meeting that certain individuals were noticably and oddly unnerved about me, by their very body language.
So, something dark is about. Not in me, but in those who are now affecting me with actions that I find are inspired by it.
I thank you all, each and as a group, for your prayers and comments and helps. I am very appreciative.
