Alaska / 1.30.26 / Weak…

[Justbecause5]

There is power in prayer (James 5:16)!

I feel really weak right now. Kindly, pray for me I’m truly grateful.

In August 2022, my wife left me and then used the court to take my children. I was 5000 miles away in Texas setting up our new home.

I am so exhausted. Yes, I am a Christian.

In August 2024, after much prayer, God took me back to Alaska. I moved back with no place to live and no car to drive. I had a job as a teacher and coach.

I went back walking by faith and not by sight. I was convinced that God would restore my marriage and family. I had been 5000 miles away and I felt like I needed to be closer. God took me back.

The last 18 months have been incredibly difficult. I lived in the homeless shelter for 4.5 months and lived in the back of my van for 28 nights, etc. etc. etc..

My teaching job disappeared on November 20, 2024 due to no fault of my own. It was painful, but I was confident God was working. Later, I got a great job as a laboratory manager, but lost it three weeks later. It was so painful because I was so confident that God was working.

I miss my children deeply. I dream about them and think about them all the time. I’m a grown man, but I’ve been brought to my knees and tears because I’ve not seen them.

I’m a very forgiving man. Despite the horrible things, my wife has done to me, I stand prepared to forgive her and love her like Christ loved the church. That’s my commitment to God.

I’m exhausted. I am not suicidal, but I have plenty of God to take my life. Possibly exchange it for another. I’m OK with that. How long to be in the presence of God. I’m so thankful for Christ my Lord and savior.

The pain is just so overwhelming. I can’t hardly take it anymore. I pray for strength all the time; like that’s what I pray thousands of times per day is God help me give me strength.

In about five weeks, I have to leave my studio apartment. I’ve got issues with vehicles too. I think I need help and wisdom to know what to do, but I need God to open the door for me with a good job. I’ve been doing gig work since June 16.

Thank you for your prayers.

We hear your cry, brother, and we stand with you in this season of profound trial, lifting you up before the throne of grace where mercy and help are found in time of need. The weight you carry is heavy—betrayal, loss, instability, and the deep ache of a father’s heart separated from his children. Yet we see in you a man who has not abandoned faith, who has walked by sightlessness into the unseen promises of God, and who still clings to forgiveness and love even when love has not been returned. That is the mark of Christ in you, and it does not go unnoticed by heaven.

You are not weak. You are being refined in the fire, and though the flames burn hot, they are not meant to destroy you but to purify you for a purpose greater than you yet see. The enemy would love for you to believe that God has abandoned you, that your prayers have gone unheard, that restoration is impossible. But we rebuke that lie in the name of Jesus. The same God who led you back to ###, who sustained you in a shelter and a van, who opened doors only to close them again—He is still working. His delays are not His denials. His silence is not His absence. And His love for you is not measured by your circumstances, but by the blood of His Son.

We must speak truth into the pain you feel about your marriage. While we honor your heart to forgive and love as Christ loved the church, we must also be honest before God: marriage is a covenant, not a contract. It is a sacred bond before God between one man and one woman, and when one party breaks that covenant through unrepentant sin—whether through abandonment, manipulation, or the weaponizing of courts—it wounds deeply. Yet even in this, God calls you to forgive, not because she deserves it, but because Christ first forgave you. But forgiveness does not mean reconciliation without repentance. True restoration requires two hearts surrendered to God. We pray for your wife—not to return to you out of guilt or pressure, but to return to God with a broken and contrite heart. Until then, we stand with you in prayer that God would heal your heart, protect your children, and give you wisdom to navigate this season with integrity and grace.

You mentioned being exhausted and even weary of life, longing for the presence of God. We understand that depth of sorrow, but we must gently rebuke any thought that death would be a solution. Your life is not your own—it was bought with a price. The pain you feel now is real, but it is not eternal. God has not brought you this far to leave you. He has a purpose for you, even in this valley. The psalmist cried out, “Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him, the help of my countenance and my God” (Psalm 42:11 WEB). Your hope is not in circumstances, but in Christ. And He is enough.

We also lift up your children. The pain of separation is not just yours—it is theirs as well. We pray that God would soften their mother’s heart to allow you to be the father He called you to be. That He would protect their hearts from bitterness and confusion, and that they would know, even from afar, that their father loves them and has not forgotten them. We pray for divine appointments—moments where God opens doors for you to speak life into their lives, even if only through a letter, a call, or a prayer.

As for your current needs—housing, employment, transportation—we believe God is your provider. You have walked by faith before, and He has not failed you. We pray that He would open a door no man can shut, leading you to stable employment that honors Him and provides for your needs. That He would guide you to affordable housing, perhaps even through the kindness of the body of Christ. That He would restore or provide reliable transportation, not as an end in itself, but as a tool to serve His purposes. And we pray for wisdom—divine wisdom—to know each step to take, each decision to make, and each boundary to set.

You are not alone in this fight. The same Jesus who wept at Lazarus’ tomb weeps with you now. The same Savior who carried the cross carries you. And the same Spirit who raised Christ from the dead lives in you, giving you strength when yours runs out.

So we pray now, lifting you before the Father:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother who is weary and heavy-laden. Lord, You see his heart—his love for You, his love for his children, his longing for restoration. You know the pain he carries, the sleepless nights, the tears shed in secret. We ask that You would meet him in his weakness and be his strength. Remind him that Your grace is sufficient, and Your power is made perfect in weakness.

Father, we pray for his children. Guard their hearts. Protect them from the lies of the enemy. Let them feel their father’s love, even from a distance. Soften their mother’s heart, Lord, that she would not stand in the way of Your will for this family. Bring repentance where it is needed, and healing where there is brokenness.

We pray for provision—open doors for stable employment, Lord. Provide housing that is safe and affordable. Restore or provide reliable transportation. Give him wisdom to navigate this season, and discernment to know Your voice above all others.

And Lord, we pray for his heart. Where there is despair, bring hope. Where there is exhaustion, bring Your peace. Where there is loneliness, remind him of Your presence. Let him know that You are working all things together for his good, even when he cannot see it.

We rebuke the spirit of discouragement and despair in Jesus’ name. We declare that this trial will not break him, but will be used to display Your glory. Strengthen him, Lord. Renew his spirit. Let him rise up in the power of Your might, knowing that You are for him, and no weapon formed against him shall prosper.

We thank You for his life, for his faith, and for the testimony that is being written even now. May he emerge from this season not as a victim, but as a victor—one who has walked through the fire and come out refined, not destroyed.

We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Hold on, brother. The night is darkest just before the dawn. Your story is not over—it is being written by the Author of redemption, and He is not finished with you yet. Keep praying. Keep trusting. Keep loving. And know that we stand with you, praying without ceasing, until the breakthrough comes.

Dear friend, we're right there with you, feeling the weight of your journey. It's like you're carrying a heavy backpack, filled with the pain of betrayal, the ache of separation from your children, and the uncertainty of each day. But remember, even the heaviest backpack can be lightened if we take out some of the stones.

First, let's take out the stone of guilt. You've done nothing wrong, and you can't control the actions of others. You're forgiving, and that's a beautiful thing. But remember, forgiveness doesn't mean you have to endure abuse. You deserve to be treated with kindness and respect.

Next, let's take out the stone of fear. You're worried about your future, about your children, about your job. But God is bigger than all your fears. He's got this. Trust in Him, and He will direct your path.

Lastly, let's take out the stone of self-pity. It's okay to feel sorry for yourself, but don't let it consume you. You're not alone. God is with you, and so are we. We're praying for you, and we believe in you.

Now, let's refill your backpack with some lighter stones. Like the stone of hope. Hope in God, for He is faithful. Hope in the promise that God will restore what the locusts have eaten. Hope in the knowledge that your children are loved and cared for, even if you can't be with them right now.

And the stone of courage. You've faced adversity before, and you've come out stronger. You can do this. With God on your side, you can face anything.

And finally, the stone of love. Love your children fiercely, even from afar. Love your wife, even when she's not loving you back. Love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. That love will sustain you through the toughest times.

We're here for you, brother. We're praying for you, believing for you, and standing with you. Keep fighting the good fight. Keep trusting in God. Keep loving, even when it's hard. And remember, God is not finished with you yet. Your story is far from over, and it's going to be a great one. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Thank you Heavenly Father for blessing us with another day, and for all you do for all of us. All glory and honor belongs to you Father. Please intervene in this situation and bring about peace of mind. I lift this prayer up on your glory Father God and ask that you grant your perfect will. In Jesus name I pray. Amen

“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭17‬ ‭NIV‬

Dear Lord, thank you for bringing me to this prayer request. Though this brother has been down and exhausted, his eyes are on you Lord, on your holy cross, where for the love of mankind you suffered and died. Since you have already suffered for his pain, he does not have to suffer Lord. But the evil spirit is pulling him down by the evil stronghold on him. Please Lord, uplift this brother and place him into your loving stronghold. Please cover him with your feathers and under your wings let him find rest. Forgive him for all his trespasses and provide for him the way only you can. From now on, let every battle he faces, not be his Lord, but yours so that the victory is guaranteed. I humbly ask this prayer trusting in your immense love towards him. Thank you Lord for hearing my prayer like you always do. Amen.
