Hebrews 13: 
So we say with confidence,
“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
    What can mere mortals do to me?”
 
I have been feeling down concerning my friendships with "mere mortals."  I do not feel the love from my fellow man, beyond my immediate family.  I really do try so hard to do what is right, and I am hurt by the lack of fellowship with those I regard as friends.  They don't see me the same way.
 
This message affirms my struggle, as I go to the Lord for comfort. He is my helper, so I am free from the fear that can overtake me.  Being popular is not my strength, but I have God.  I am not deficient; I am God's beloved child.  I may be misunderstood by others, but God completely understands my motivations. 
 
Prayer:  Lord, I am wounded by Your people.  I know I have many faults, but I try to treat others fairly.  Still they pull away.  Strengthen me to know to come to You to heal my hurts and to help me forgive the slights of others.  You are my Rock.
Amen
