God’s Help
by Henrik Mikoleit (9)
I was having a normal day at school until I noticed a boy talking badly about me behind my back and spreading lies about me. This made me angry and sad. At home, I told my parents.
That same evening, I prayed to God with them and asked Him for wisdom in this situation. My mom then conducted a role-playing exercise with me on how I should best act in such situations.
Before I went to school the next day, I asked God for help again in my morning prayer. When I had a break, I met the boy. God gave me the courage to point out his meanness to him. Although I was very nervous, God intervened and gave the boy insight so that he stopped.
I am very grateful that God helped me in this situation, and I have had peace and tranquility ever since.
