Alaska / a new request

[Justbecause5]

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

Yes, I am a Christian. Yes, I believe in the name and the authority of Christ.

In 2022, my wife left me. She then used the court system to take my children. In my wildest dreams, I never thought that she would do something like that to me.

I was 5000 miles away and I knew nothing about what she was doing.

For the last three years, I have pleaded with God for reconciliation. In August 2024, God finally opened the door for me to go back to Alaska. I did, for the last 15 months I have suffered so many different ways. I am so exhausted from suffering.

I have never been suicidal. Let me say that again, I have never been suicidal; however, I have wished many times that God would take me in my sleep or something. I prayed many times that God would send a large chariot to take me and I would leave immediately. I was just so exhausted from the deep, exhausting pain in my heart and mind.

I give up.

I am now asking God to give me a wife. I am asking him to move me to a far away location so I can start my life over. I am so exhausted.

The last few days the weather here has been really bad. It was -31 and early next week it’s supposed to be -35 or so. Also, we’ve gotten a lot of snow, 6 to 8 inches. I’m guessing.

God, please give me a godly wife that will truly love me. Please send her into my life. I’m exhausted. I am so lonely.

I’m so tired.

As you know, I lost my job on June 16. I’ve been doing gig work to keep my head above water. I really need to go to work right now, but I’m just so exhausted. I can’t hardly get out of bed. The bad weather outside makes me want to stay home, but I can’t. I’ve gotta go make some money.

God, please help me. If not, just take me.

Honestly, I’m so tired of hearing about how God keeps our tears in a bottle. So what? He must have a whole warehouse full of my tears. Stop keeping them and start helping me get through this with strength and power.

Please God move me to the East Coast or some other place with a good job and I’ll leave today. I can literally pack my bags and be on a plane in two hours or less.

I’ve seen God do incredible things in my life. The last 15 months in Alaska has been so difficult. I just can’t take much more.

Please help me

I am not afraid to die. Most people are, but I’m not. I long to be in the presence of God. I’m tired of being your guy. Please send Elijah’s chariot to get me and I’ll leave.

 

[Articles]

We hear your cry, brother, and we lift you up before the throne of grace with heavy hearts. The pain you carry is deep, and the exhaustion you feel is real—three years of separation from your children, the betrayal of a wife who turned to the courts instead of God’s design for marriage, and the weight of loneliness in a place that has brought you so much suffering. You have stood firm in your faith, pleading with the Lord for reconciliation, and now you stand at a crossroads, weary but still clinging to Him. We stand with you in this moment, declaring that your hope is not in vain, even when the road ahead feels impossible to walk.

First, we must address the weight of your words about death. While you say you are not suicidal, the longing to be taken from this life reveals a spirit that is crushed under the burden of suffering. Scripture tells us, *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). Your desire to be with the Lord is understandable, but we must rebuke the lie that your life is without purpose or that God has abandoned you. The enemy would love nothing more than for you to believe that your pain is meaningless, that your tears are unnoticed, or that your suffering has no end. But we declare over you that God *does* see your tears, and He *is* working—even when you cannot see it. *"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you," says the Lord, "thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future"* (Jeremiah 29:11). You are not forgotten. You are not forsaken. And your life is not over.

We must also address the brokenness of your marriage. God’s design for marriage is clear: *"Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate"* (Mark 10:9). What your wife did—using the courts to tear apart what God united—was not just a personal betrayal but a violation of His covenant. We do not know her heart, but we know that God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16) because it fractures His reflection of Christ and the Church. Your desire for reconciliation is honorable, but we must also acknowledge that reconciliation requires repentance and restoration from *both* parties. If she is unwilling to turn back to God’s design, then we must trust that He will redeem your pain in another way. That does not mean your suffering is in vain. It means God is preparing you for something new—something that aligns with His perfect will.

You ask for a godly wife, and we join you in that prayer. But we must also caution you: do not seek marriage as an escape from pain, but as a partnership in God’s purpose. *"He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord"* (Proverbs 18:22). A godly wife is a blessing, but she is not the solution to your exhaustion. Only Christ can fill the void in your heart. We pray that God would bring you a woman who loves Him first, who will stand beside you in faith, and who will encourage you to run this race with endurance. But we also pray that you would not rush into this desire out of loneliness, but wait on the Lord’s timing. *"Wait for the Lord. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the Lord"* (Psalm 27:14).

You speak of leaving Alaska, of starting over in a new place. There is wisdom in seeking a fresh start, but we must ask: is this truly God’s leading, or is it a desire to flee from pain? The Lord may very well be calling you to a new season, but we must not run *from* suffering—we must run *through* it, trusting that He is with us. *"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, and the flame will not scorch you"* (Isaiah 43:2). If God is calling you to move, He will make a way. But if He is calling you to endure, He will give you the strength to do so.

You mention your job loss and financial struggle, and we lift this burden before the Lord as well. *"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19). We pray that He would open doors of provision for you, that He would give you the strength to work even when you are weary, and that He would remind you that your worth is not in your employment but in your identity as His son. The gig work is temporary, but God’s faithfulness is eternal.

Now, we come before the Lord on your behalf, lifting up every broken piece of your heart:

Father God, we come before You with our brother, who is weary and heavy-laden. Lord, You see his tears—every single one—and You have not forgotten him. We ask that You would meet him in his exhaustion, that You would lift the weight of grief from his shoulders, and that You would fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Lord, we rebuke the spirit of despair that whispers lies of hopelessness. We declare that You are his strength, his shield, and his very present help in trouble.

Father, we ask for Your healing in his heart. Where there is bitterness, bring forgiveness. Where there is loneliness, bring Your presence. Where there is fear of the future, bring Your hope. Lord, if it is Your will, restore what has been broken—whether that is his marriage or a new season of life. But if restoration is not Your plan, then give him the grace to accept Your will and the strength to walk in it.

We pray for a godly wife, Father—one who loves You and will walk with him in faith. Prepare her heart even now, Lord, and prepare his as well. Let him not seek marriage out of desperation, but out of a desire to serve You together. And if You are calling him to a new place, make the path clear. Open doors that no man can shut, and close doors that are not of You.

Father, we ask for provision in his finances. Give him work that sustains him, and remind him that his value is not in his paycheck but in Your love for him. Strengthen his body when he is weak, and give him the discipline to rise even when he is tired.

Most of all, Lord, remind him that he is not alone. You are with him in the cold of Alaska, in the loneliness of his home, and in the quiet moments when the pain feels unbearable. You are collecting his tears, not to store them away, but to turn them into testimonies of Your faithfulness. Give him the courage to keep going, one step at a time, trusting that You are working all things together for his good.

We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who bore our griefs and carried our sorrows. Amen.

Brother, we want you to know that your pain is seen, your faith is noticed, and your future is held in the hands of a God who specializes in redemption. You are not "God’s guy" to be left in suffering—you are His beloved son, and He is fighting for you even when you cannot see it. Do not give up. Do not lose heart. The same God who parted the Red Sea, who raised Lazarus from the dead, and who conquered the grave is the same God who walks with you now. He has not brought you this far to leave you. He is making a way where there seems to be no way.

We encourage you to seek fellowship with other believers—men who can pray with you, encourage you, and hold you accountable. Isolation feeds despair, but community brings healing. If you do not have a local church, ask God to lead you to one. And if you have not already, consider counseling—someone who can help you process this grief in a healthy way. You do not have to carry this alone.

Lastly, we want to leave you with this promise: *"Those who sow in tears will reap in joy. He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves"* (Psalm 126:5-6). Your tears are not wasted. Your pain is not meaningless. God is using every single moment of this suffering to prepare you for a harvest of joy. Keep sowing in faith. Keep trusting. And when the time is right, you *will* reap with songs of deliverance.

We're here with you, standing in the cold of ###, feeling the weight of your loneliness and exhaustion. We see your tears, and we hear your cries for help. We want you to know that you're not alone. We're lifting you up in prayer, just as we would a dear brother.

Firstly, we want to echo what you've asked for - a godly wife. We join you in praying for God to bring such a woman into your life, one who will love and honor Him above all else, and who will stand beside you in faith. But remember, as you wait, trust that God's timing is perfect. Don't rush into anything out of desperation or loneliness.

We also hear your plea to leave ###. We understand the desire for a fresh start, but we urge you to seek God's will in this. If He's calling you to move, He'll make a way. But if He's calling you to stay and endure, He'll give you the strength to do so. Trust that His plan is always for your good and His glory.

Your financial struggles are not lost on us either. We pray that God would open doors of provision for you, that He would remind you of your worth in Him, and that He would give you the strength to work even when you're weary.

But most importantly, we want to remind you of God's presence with you. He sees you. He knows your pain. He's collecting your tears, not to store them away, but to turn them into testimonies of His faithfulness. Trust that He's working all things together for your good.

So, keep going, one step at a time. Trust that God is fighting for you, even when you can't see it. And remember, you're not alone. We're praying for you, and so is the God who loves you more than you can imagine.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
