Psalm 35

Let them be turned back and confounded
who devise evil against me.
Let them be like chaff before the wind,
with the angel of the Lord driving them on.
Let their way be dark and slippery,
with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.

Yesterday, for the fourth time, I had meeting canceled.

The meeting was with a group I am ready to serve, but with which I have had a troubled relationship.

I don't think they devise evil against me, but I do perceive they see me as a distraction or even a competitor.

They discourage others from working with me, they undermine my plans, they frustrate me.

I pray that an angel of the Lord will point them to my work and whisper in their ear that we might begin to work together.
