Are You Being Bullied?

The 11-year-old girl looked at me, her beautiful eyes sad as she said, "Every morning I open the front door and hope this clique won't be waiting for me, because they insult or hit me on the way to school almost every day."

Yes, I hear stories like this often. Way too often. Even in adult life, such hurts take place very often. They may be milder, or more extreme. Where can we put all the pain, all the hardship?

Even David had experiences like this! "Those who hate me without reason outnumber the hairs of my head; many are my enemies without cause, those who seek to destroy me…” (Psalm 69:4 NIV) And he doesn't understand why either.

There is one more thing I want to share with you, on the last day of this series, and for this I will again repeat our weekly verse, "Call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.” (Psalm 50:15 NIV ).

David's prayers were not answered immediately either! He had to cry out to God over a long period of time, without experiencing his miracle, his salvation right away. Even if a lot of time passes without your answer, stay on your knees, stay in prayer.

David, meanwhile, reminded himself of the miracles God had already performed in his life, and he reminded God of the miracles He had already done:

"Answer me, Lord, out of the goodness of your love: in your great mercy turn to me." (Psalm 69:16 NIV ), and later he says, "Come near and rescue me; deliver me because of my foes." (Psalm 69:18 NIV)

Today, continue to cry out to God and remember what He has done for you in the past. Then, as David did, remind Him of what He has already accomplished WONDERFULLY in your life! It is possible for Him, in His time, to perform the miracle!

Until then I pray for you, that God gives you the strength to stay strong! You are not alone!

You are a miracle!
