My neighbor is having problems. I think she and her husband are about to separate. I only know because of all the yelling lately. They are normally very quiet but they don't seem to have a good marriage because they go through spouts of yelling matches.

I used to get mad. I would be frustrated with them for not being quiet and respectful of their neighbors. But God gave me a job to do when I hear them fighting. He asked me to pray. I pray for their salvation and marriage. I try to pray for their sakes, not my own (if they got saved and had a good marriage they'd be ideal neighbors!).

You know what God did with that? He broke my heart. I hear them now and I am so sad for them. I truly do pray for their sake and not mine because now my heart breaks at the reminder that they need Jesus.

Please pray for my neighbors, they need more than my prayers. If you live in an apartment, next time you hear fighting or partying, pray for your neighbors too. You just might make a difference.
