Sovereignty Bordering on Pettiness?
Dear God,
Last night, my wife woke me up at 3:30 am. She stomped on the floor and then turned the fan up from "light" to "medium" in order to drown out the noise from the TV downstairs. She wanted me to go down and wake up their parents to ask them to tell their kids to turn it down. I didn't want to do that because I feel bad bothering people on petty things. So, I told her that if she wanted them to turn the TV down, she should go down there and ask them herself. She's a big girl. She can do it. She was very angry, so she did. She knocked on their door. Nothing happened.
She came back up. We lay down and try to fall asleep despite the noise, still audible despite the fan being on medium. I went down there myself. I rang on the door bell twice. I knocked a few times. No response. I went back to bed. God, that is when I prayed to you, "Please make it stop." You did not listen. The noise did not stop. We could not fall asleep because we could not ignore the noise. It was 4:00 am and still, the TV sounds continued to bother us. Lord, I begged with you, "Please make it stop." You said, No. And you let the noise continue. Why? Why would you wake us up at 3:30. What good does that do anybody? Are you trying to teach us a lesson? Are you trying to make us get by on less sleep? Do you want us to be grumpy and tired all day? Do you want us to confront our neighbors for being inconsiderate with their loud TVs in order that by some chance, we might develop a better relationship with them?
God, please help me to understand.

1 - talk to your neighbor
2 - talk to your landlord
3 - call the cops
Thank you, Jon. That made me laugh.
