I am going through a difficult time right now, and I really need prayer for wisdom and guidance...I applied for rental assistance back on Dec.7th...the process does take a bit of time and things are happening though ever so slowly...My landlord has not received rent since the first of December..I call my county office just about every day and they said I should be getting rental vouchers...My problem is that my landlord calls me every single day, even though I told him that I have applied for aid, and there is not anything more that I can do..He leaves me emails telling me that I have to call him immediately, or else..He has threatened that he will sell this house and show it to prospective buyers every day to disrupt our lives..He is a very controlling and angry man and he intimidates me..He has called my mother in law (where my estranged husband lives) and asked her when are we going to pay the rent...He even asked her if my H and I were getting divorced...while walking my dog down the center island of my street, he drove his truck up onto the median and asked me what I am doing to pay rent...He has accused me of doing nothing..He showed up at the house the other day, and confronted me about paying the rent...even told me to get into his truck to talk to him...Now he thinks that he is my friend and told me that I should divorce my husband, so that I can get more support and a settlement from him...He gave me the name of a lawyer he uses...I took the number but did not call this lawyer...My landlord called me the next day and said that he spoke to this lawyer and he told him that I had not called...He knows that I am a christian and has attacked my lack of not taking care of myself, said that God helps those who help themselves..Yesterday he called and I did not pick up my phone, so he left me another email stating that I am to call him every day with a daily accounting of what is happening...this has worn me out emotionally...I am trusting that this is in Gods' hands and that if this door is shutting, then another one will open..he has threatened to sell the house and this does not scare me anymore, I am worn out with all of his threats to me...but I don't know how to deal with this man..The last comment he wrote in the email is that if I don't follow through, then I have caused him to lose trust in all of humanity, because if I fail and I am a christian, then there is no faith in humanity...I don't know anymore how to deal with him...I just want to be firm with him in love...bold as a lion but harmless as a dove..but not sure if this is right...I have been up for 2 nights in a row without sleep due to him, and I am not sure if I am thinking clearly or I am making too much out of this...I need wisdom in dealing with this...and would greatly appreciate any advice and prayer...take gentle care...
