Dear God,

The year has begun, yet the same problems persist. My neighbors have taken over every empty space, and my patience is wearing thin. I feel helpless.

I long for the peace I had when I first bought this house. It seems like tranquility only returns when they leave. Is it too much to ask for this peace back? I don’t know. All I want is to restore the peace that my family has lost.

With this, I ask You, God, to show me the right way.

Thank You, Jesus.

Amen.
