Dear Father God and Lord Jesus, I pray that you will soften the heart of the pastor towards MelAnn. Please let him become humble and respectful. Open his eyes, mind, and heart so he can see his own sins and flaws and repent of them. In the meantime, may MelAnn forgive him. Please give her hope, patience, and humility as she deals with the challenges at her church. In Jesus's name, I pray.
MelAnn, I am praying with you that your pastor and everyone you know treat you with respect and dignity as Jesus' commandment says, "Love your neighbor as yourself." In the name of the Creator, this is done. Ame.
