Friend needs prayer

I write this today and I'm mad in my spirit as well as in my flesh. I'm mad at the devil. I have a very, very good friend that I spoke with just a moment ago that lives in Elizabethtown, Tn. and the devil is trying to destroy his witness, his character, his career, and everything about him. My friend has a heart for people, he has a heart to see people's needs met both physically and spiritually, he has heart for God. He shared with me what happened to him last Saturday evening as he and his wife were sitting for a while at the home of a friend whose husband and son was on a trip for the afternoon. Their friend was inside the home as he and his wife was sitting out on the porch, and he noticed a dark figure walking through the gate slowly and quietly as to almost a sneaky gesture. This person had on all black, with a stocking like hat and a scarf around their neck and face and when my friend called out to them, they had no response, they came on through the gate and latched it and began to walk toward my friend, who was now walking off the porch. As this individual got closer to my friend and still not responding to the requests of who they were, my friend took defensive measures and grab this person and wrestled them to the ground with force. Long story short, this individual turned out to be the mother-n-law of the person they were sitting with and her other son came later and assaulted my friend. This is already having adverse effects on my friend and his witness of being a Christian. The lady has pressed charges and my friend needs your help with prayer! Please keep Lynn Peters in your prayers today that God's glory will shine from this situation somehow! Through a mistaken identity and no verbal response from this individual my friend acted in a manner that any of us would have and the devil is using it to destroy him. He needs faith to get him through this and to trust in the Lord for the outcome. I ask you to pray for him today.
