In a dangerous situation

[nordskoven]

I got scammed by lawyers, accountants and associates and lost a load of dough, and that put me in an even more dangerous situation. I had to move to a cheap, high-crime area. And I think I took that target on my back with me. Can we pray to get rid of this victim status? I’m getting post traumatically stressed and want to kill somebody. I need to find that peace and loving forgiveness Christ asks of us.

Meth addicts stole my phone, my ID, my checks, my tools, my car. Got the car back. Got it stolen again. Got it back empty of all my gear. Meth freak car thief came back and bashed my car window in to try for car theft three. I bought a cheap fixer-upper to get out of the apartment sleaziness. Car was parked there when an 11-year-old broke all windows out of my car with his buds. City didn’t care; they are swamped with larceny and only file charges against crimes against persons. Car without windows then got stolen forever. And I just got ripped off again at this little fixer-upper. I’m wary of that edge I’m walking on. When I had my phone and identity stolen, I was in no man’s land. I was a non-person with no money and no phone. You have to have I.D. to get I.D. I could have lost my job. I can’t get into my secure building without I.D.

Meth is a huge factor as the rip-offs happen near the end of the month when I used to hear the tweeky-bird tweakers whistling through the night as they either cooked or sold meth in the woods by my first apartment. I guess the security system is that if the whistling stops, run, the cops are here. Well it’s that tail end of the month, right, meth time. A kid walked up on my property and stole my circular saw and sawzall out of my open trunk as I was ten feet away working. He outran me. So now I’m thanking God because He told me to…Please, God, I don’t want to go bankrupt. I pray for Your abundant life. In all things I give thanks. Could I catch a break here?

So thanks, God, I’m not dead and didn’t have my gun on me. Which is another point. I would’ve killed this kid if I’d been carrying the gun I bought after last car theft. I would have killed a human being over some stuff. So now what? Can we please pray that I’m out of this devilish danger zone forever, please? That means crimes against me and me wanting to kill somebody, too. My Dad got killed by drag-racing juvenile hall-type teens. Brother got killed working in criminal justice system by crooked drug-affiliated guys he worked with. I’m not interested in being number three. And let’s pray for all the @#$%^&* [criminals] that God may convert them or exile them far away from what I hope and pray will be a paradise of amity and morality in my neighborhood and yours. Thanks for any help and God bless our prayer warriors!

I can understand how you would be so extremely stressed.
I don’t think that many words would help much.
But will be praying for you with concern for your whole situation.
I do ask God to surround you and fill your place with angels.

I join the members of the forum in praying with you. Hope you are able to live through these tough times. God be with you!

I am praying for your protection and hoping that you will find the means to get out of that horrible situation and go somewhere where it’s safe …

You will be in my daily prayers, Nordskoven. I pray that God will provide for you and help you find a better place to live. May you persevere and keep from letting your anger get the best of you. May you surrender to God and pray to him for the strength and patience you need to survive these hellish times. I am so very sorry for your dire circumstances. May God hear our prayers for you and protect you. May your circumstances change for the better and may you keep faithful to God. Amen.

Dear Father I pray with Nordskoven that you may convert criminals especially those who target the desperate, poor and needy. I ask that you deliver Nordskoven from his circumstances and from this period of ruination of his life and livelyhood. I ask this in Christ’s name. Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, and a Fatima Prayer.

AMEN to converting the criminals who suck the life blood out of the poor. My neighbor who helped me try to catch the thief after the latest rip-off let a friend spend the previous night and now they are out one laptop. Then came the rant about meth freaks… And fences, another neighbor or two or three, selling stolen property. One neighbor got busted for $60,000 street value of stolen goods. That’s peanuts compared to what the stuff cost. His house got torched by people he snitched on to save his skin.

Another neighbor who sells junk says he saw two brand new water heaters still dripping water being sold for scrap. A landlord catty-corner to me booted out the meth tweakers and had his copper pipe kicked out that night. Next door is a registered pedophile who victimized a six-year-old; and his kid, who owns the house, was busted for prostitution. The guts of the area are intact; kids with heart and soul more or less intact because a few dads are still on the scene; and the old folks pray for them so they won’t turn into “knuckleheads.”

May we, by God’s hand, create some elegant solutions to unplug the crime cycle that is aggravated by childhood violence; no daddies in the home; and the alcohol and drug culture filling the void. One neighbor has the electricity turned off because he’s economically strapped from his drunk driving, so no license. He’s a vet whose parachute got tangled but he carpools, and works through the pain. Another has their water off and their cigarette-smoking eight-year-old says they visit friends for showers.

There are the feeble minded; the mentally ill guy with Tourette’s who hollers a lot; the vet whose head was creased by shrapnel; the elderly; the timid who never come out; the obese. It seems like when we pray together there is another step forward, like with the tweakers being evicted; or the burglar getting busted. So I thank you all most sincerely; and thank God for all I am and all I have in Him which, please God, can never be stolen. My murdered brother’s birthday is October 2. Pray for justice in uprooting the government corruption that paid for the hit; and pray for his soul and all the others who have been killed to hide such crimes.
