Alaska .. father’s Day!

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

I believe in prayer (Luke 18:1-6). God is the only one that can solve my problems. So I keep pleading with him. I keep coming here, asking for your prayers also.

It is 3:15 AM and I am in the van. My first night in the van was May 19, my wife’s birthday. I find irony in so many situations. I have almost been in the van 30 days.

Thankfully, right now it is not excessively cold or hot. I would say it’s just right. There is at least one pesky mosquito that is trying to get me. Satan should’ve been referred to as a mosquito rather than a lion.

A mosquito is annoying. In Alaska, they are called the state bird. They are pesky, big and annoying. And they hurt when they get you they dive bomb like a Japanese Zero.

Today is Father’s Day. I miss my children so badly. I am the kind of dad that loved taking his kids to the park two or three times a week. I wrestled with them on the floor in the living room. I carry them on my shoulders when they were tired from hiking. I miss them with every ounce of my being.

I love God with all of my heart. I have served him almost all of my life. I’ve never been perfect or without flaw, but I have loved him nonetheless. I wish God would intercede and step into this van and take me far far away like Elijah.

God saved my life on December 29, 2024. It was -23°F and I got locked out of my van on top of a mountain. I was within an hour or two of dying no doubt my ears were numb. My fingers were numb and I could barely talk. Life was easing out of my body. Why did God let me live? To live in the van?

Women can be so evil. The Bible talks about how evil they can be. They tear down their homes (Prov 14:1). 80% of divorces are initiated by women; 90% if the woman has a degree

Rarely do we think how wicked divorce is; mostly it’s the very epitome of selfishness. It’s contrary to the will of God. Women could care less about the husband who provided for them for years if not decades. They could care less about the father of their children. They could care less for their children. They are content with their children, not having a dad.

I have suffered so much. I don’t know how much more I can take. The Bible says that God is the god of comfort and I keep asking God for comfort… Where is my comfort?

I am so thankful for the things that God has done for me. My new career out of nowhere. God, I’m truly thankful my new mattress in the back of the van that makes living here doable. Thank you God for everything you’ve done for me.

I am just in so much pain. It’s almost unbearable …. angels, please come and help me God please send the necessary things to help me. I’m exhausted God, God, please help me.

I’m so broken
 
We are truly heartbroken to hear about your situation and the pain you are experiencing. We want to remind you that God is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit Psalm 34:18 WEB.

Firstly, we want to address the issue of divorce and the pain it causes. God hates divorce Malachi 2:16 WEB, as it goes against His plan for marriage. It is clear that you are hurting because of this. We want to encourage you to keep trusting in God, even in this difficult time. He can bring comfort and healing to your broken heart.

We also want to address your plea for God to take you away like Elijah. It's important to remember that God has a purpose for each of our lives, and He saved you for a reason. In Jeremiah 29:11 WEB, God says, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future. We encourage you to seek God's will for your life and trust in His timing.

Regarding women and divorce, the Bible does speak about the destructive power of a contentious woman. Proverbs 14:1 WEB says, Every wise woman builds her house, but the foolish one tears it down with her own hands. However, it's crucial to avoid generalizations and remember that God created both men and women in His image Genesis 1:27 WEB. Both husbands and wives are called to love and submit to one another Ephesians 5:21-33 WEB.

We also want to remind you that God is the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 WEB. Keep crying out to Him for comfort; He hears your prayers. We are praying for you too, that God would send you help and strength to endure this difficult time.

We notice that you mentioned being saved by God and your love for Him, but you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through the name of Jesus that we can be saved and have access to God. If you believe in Jesus Christ and confess with your mouth that He is Lord, you will be saved Romans 10:9-10 WEB. Jesus Christ said:
'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me' John 14:6.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, lifting up our brother who is in so much pain. We pray that You would send Your Holy Spirit to comfort him in his time of need. Help him to trust in Your will for his life, and give him the strength to endure this trial.

We pray for his children, that You would protect them and draw them close to You. We ask that You would soften his wife's heart and bring conviction upon her for the destruction of their marriage. We pray for healing and reconciliation if it is Your will, Lord.

We also pray that our brother would come to know Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior if he does not already. We ask that You would draw him close to You and give him a peace that surpasses all understanding.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
 
Hey there,

We're right here with you, feeling the weight of your pain. It's like you're stuck in a van, driving through a storm, and we're in the passenger seat, holding on tight.

First off, we want to remind you that God is right there with you in that van. He's not just the driver, He's the co-pilot, navigating you through every bump and pothole. He's close to the brokenhearted, remember? (Psalm 34:18)

We know divorce is a tough topic, but it's important to acknowledge the hurt it causes. It's like a mosquito buzzing around, annoying and painful. But remember, even mosquitoes have a purpose in God's creation. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)

Today is Father's Day, and we know you miss your kids something awful. But you know what? God is a Father to the fatherless. (Psalm 68:5) He's there, holding you up when you feel like you're crumbling.

We get that you're feeling exhausted, like you've been driving for days without a break. But God is the God of all comfort. (2 Corinthians 1:3-4) He's right there, offering you a place to rest your weary head.

We're not going to tell you to just 'suck it up' or 'be strong'. Instead, we're going to say, it's okay to be broken. It's okay to cry out to God, to ask Him to help you. He's listening, and He cares.

Let's pray together, shall we?

"Dear God, we come to you today, feeling the pain of our friend. We ask that you would wrap your arms around him, comfort him in his sorrow. Help him to trust in you, to lean on you. Give him strength for the journey, and peace in the storm. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
 
Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
