Uneasy at Church

I prayed last night asking for someone to talk to. Someone to understand my struggles. I went to a church that I had been visiting on and off for the past year. I am a person who sits quite and doesn't bother people. Listen to the message and leaves. Well church was over. We were doing the benediction when the new pastor just pointed me out and said that he had a need to pray for me because I was struggle with being alone and other health issues. I don't know these people at the church. It freaked me out. He kept telling me you are not alone. We are here for you. I started crying and a bad event went to worst. I like the church but now I am afraid to go back. Three women gave me their numbers. They always left me alone. I also am wondering if this is what I prayed for. Maybe I am freaking out for no reason.

Sure seems to be God at work as you prayed for., although you would have preferred to have it not pointed out.

Run with it

I am so sorry this has happened to you I myself go to church at least once a week and most of the time I try not to keep eye contact with other people and sometimes I just close my eyes and listen to the words that's a priest says or I usually look up to the roof and listen cuz sometimes a lot of times I have a hard time looking at people I hope this helped you I'm so sorry you have to experience that but I hope things get better for you

The power of prayer 🙏 cannot be underestimated. The people who gave you their numbers may be the very people who can help you.

Give faith and love a chance but only if you can feel in your heart it's the best way forward for you.

My Dear Purple, It sounds like God is trying to answer your prayer. You are the only one who can let him in, and you are in charge of whether to receive the gift of friendship and the other blessings that He has to offer. Open your mind a little. Be not afraid. Let His Blessings flow in. You are in charge.
