There is power in prayer (James 5:16)!
I feel like my life is closely paralleling the life of Job. Since moving back to Alaska, I have suffered so many different setbacks. I’ve worked so hard and yet I keep falling backwards.
In August 2022, my job in Alaska was complete. My wife and daughter were preparing to head overseas to visit a family my sons and I headed to Texas to start the new job and set up our new home.
After I left Alaska, my wife hired an attorney and went to court and convinced the judge that I had taken the boys across state lines. It was all a lie. I knew nothing about it. I was 5000 miles away however, in late September, my wife and a sister in Christ went to Texas and took my sons from me. It was one of the most painful days of my life.
I prayed fervently. I must’ve prayed over 1 million times for my family, reconciliation, etc. I prayed that God would take me back to Alaska.
Finally, in the summer of 2024, the providential hand of God guided me back to Alaska. I received a job in Alaska as a teacher. My former temporary company gave me a free first class flight to Alaska and so I went. However, I did not have a place to live or a car to drive. I was trusting God for all that.
Since I have been back in Alaska, I have suffered greatly in every way. I feel like Job the teaching job that I moved here for ended in November 2024. It was a contract issue due to no fault of my own later. I secured another job as a laboratory manager, and it ended three weeks later another high paying job was offered to me, but then over the weekend they gave it to another person. So many setbacks that I’ve tried to overcome, but keep getting pushed back.
I lived at the homeless shelter for 4.5 months. Then I lived in a nice apartment for 4.5 months. I then had to move out because she used it for Airbnb so I lived in the back of my van for 28 nights. The lady didn’t allow me to live in her primitive basement for 4.5 months for free. I then moved into a free apartment for four months for the VA.
I can see the hand of God and all of this; however, I’ve suffered greatly, and I am in great distress.
I lost my job at the lab on June 16, 2025. Since then, I’ve been doing gig work. But then I started having van problems which hindered my work. It’s like any time I got anything positive going in my life it failed. I fixed the van. I had three blowouts in six weeks I fixed. Then I had a serious issue which caused my van to be unavailable for four or five months. So, I rented a car from November until February. Then the prices start going up too high.
Now, I got my van back, but then the van died. And so I did not work for a month. Now, I got a rental car for nearly $57 a day which is a lot, but I have to make more than that. I’m trying so hard God please help me.
I am literally hanging on by a thread. I’m so sick right now. I’ve been sick for like five days. The kind of sickness where you can’t hardly do anything I need strength because I’ll have to go to work if I don’t make money that I’m gonna be in big trouble in five days. God, please help me.
I’ve been through so much and I am exhausted. I am not suicidal, but I have pleading with God to exchange my life or another. I’m so exhausted from trying to live and make it in this old world.
I miss my children so much. I continue to pray, fervently for reconciliation. I’m not a perfect man, but I’ve always been a forgiving man. I stay prepared to forgive my wife for the terrible things. She’s done to me. I stand prepared to love her like Jesus, loves the church that’s my sincere desire.

I need to get over this sickness so that I can get to work and make the money I need to make to pay the bill bills. I need to pay so that I can live.
