Dear prayer warriors,

I loved my wife deeply & dearly. I can’t believe she has done horrible things to me. I have not seen my children over two years.

Please pray that my marriage will be reconciled. Please pray that I will see my children soon.

On May 21, I begin an incredible new job. It was more a career than a job. It was the highest starting salary that I’ve ever received. I was 100% confident it was given to me by God. I have been unemployed since 4/13.

I was supposed to work alongside the other manager, who was leaving in a month or so. Our relationship began and I learned quickly. Overtime, I witnessed his impatience, unkindness, rudeness to others, including me.

I worked hard. I showed up to work on time and left late. I worked almost every Saturday. He wanted me to lie about the QA numbers. I said I could not do that. He began to dislike me over that and other things.

On June 19, he had ignored me most of the day. I worked on projects that needed to be done. Towards the end of the day, he pulled me into the office and gave me a letter that I was being let go from the position. I was so surprised I could not believe it. It was so painful.

It’s painful when you attribute something to the favor of God and then it goes away. I was so confident that God gave me the position. It was perfect. The pay would help me get caught up on everything within a few months.

I gave praise and honor to God. I was so thankful for the job and I thanked him probably 20 times a day. Now, it is gone.

I spoke to HR about the other manager, and some of the things he did. The next day, they let me know that an internal investigation was being opened against him. That is good, but it doesn’t help me have a job.

I am disgusted by it all.

I was so convinced that it was given to me by the hand of God in view of all of my prayers. I had asked God for a career, not just a job. I had asked God for a higher starting salary so that I could get my life back on track.

If you have followed my postings in prayer request, you know that I love the rain. I have loved the rain for over 20 years. On many occasions, God has sent rain to comfort and strengthen me. After I left the building, God sent the rain. It was unexpected, but it poured for several minutes right on top of my car. It was like God sent it to remind me that despite the negative situation; God was right there. Every time it rains or I see rain, I quote Acts 14:17.

In addition, on that same day, last Monday, God moved me out of the van and into a very primitive apartment. The apartment is not great, it is in the bowels of a $1 million house. But it is 1000% better than sleeping in the back of the van. I had slipped in the van for 28 nights. I was so grateful to be out of it.

I’m looking for work.

I have applied for probably 10 jobs including three preaching jobs. Of course, when a person loses a job; it’s so easy to be judgmental of oneself. However, I gave my all to that position. I’m not saying I was perfect, but I was really trying to make it a great success for the company and for me.

In fact, I just created a bonus program for all the employees. Upper management loved it and took it before the board and they approved it. In fact, I got the email that it was approved the same day that I was let go.

I know God has the power to give me a job 100 times better than that job. I hope that he will.

In the meantime, I’ve been trying to do DoorDash. DoorDash is not the same as it was last year. I think it’s just the timing of the year. It’s spraying in summer year and a lot of people are out trying to make extra money for the vacations and just to get out of the house after a long winter. I keep going out almost every day, trying to make some money to pay for gas and food and things like that.

Last year, I was able to make $32 an hour. Now, I would be lucky to get $25 an hour. The problem now is it may take 15-20 minutes between orders. Whereas before the orders just came one after the other.

I believe God will help me. I am in the “wait”. I just have so little energy.

I do find it amazing and it gives me hope that the same day that I lost my job, God moved me out of the van into this house. In fact, I had access to a washer and dryer which saved me $15.

Also, the homeowner, a woman nearing 70, has given me free access to this apartment and to the adjacent apartment when nobody’s there. She just found out she has a lump in her breast and I have talked to her about God a lot. I have told her that I am praying for her, which made her very happy.

Please pray for me. I need strength.
Please pray for my marriage.
Please pray for my family to be together
Please pray for me a career.
Please pray for me…. TY

We are truly saddened to hear about the trials you are facing, but we are here to pray with you and offer biblical guidance. Let's first address the most pressing issues: your marriage, your children, and your job.

Firstly, we are instructed in the Bible to love our wives as Christ loved the church. Ephesians 5:25 WEB says, Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it. We need to pray for not only a miraculous reconciliation but also for the strength for you both to forgive and love each other as Christ loves us. Remember that God hates divorce, as Malachi 2:16 WEB says, For I hate divorce, says Yahweh, the God of Israel, and him who covers his garment with violence! says Yahweh of Armies. Therefore keep watch to your spirit, that you don’t deal treacherously.

Regarding your children, it is heartbreaking to hear that you have not seen them. Children are a blessing from the Lord. Psalm 127:3 WEB says, Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward. We will pray for you to be reunited with your children soon, trusting in God's promise that when we delight in Him, He will give us the desires of our heart. Psalm 37:4 WEB, Delight yourself also in Yahweh, And he will give you the desires of your heart.

Concerning your job, we understand your disappointment, but we must remember that God's ways are higher than our ways. Isaiah 55:8-9 WEB says, For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says Yahweh. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. It is encouraging that you have not been led to compromise your integrity even if it has cost you your current position, but be assured that God sees your faithfulness and will honor it. Proverbs 10:9 WEB, He who walks in integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out.

We are also glad to hear that you have been witnessing to the woman who has offered you a place to stay. This is in accordance with the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20 WEB, Therefore go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen.

Now, let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother who is going through immense trials. Lord, we pray for his marriage, that You would soften his wife's heart and bring about a miracle of reconciliation. We pray that he would be reunited with his children soon, and that his home would be a place of peace and love, aligned with Your will.

Father, we also ask that You provide for him a career, not just a job, but a vocation where he can use his gifts and talents to glorify Your name. We pray that You would open the right doors and give him favor in the job market.

Lord, we also lift up the woman who has shown him kindness. We pray that You would heal her, and that through this trial, she would come to know You as her Lord and Savior.

Finally, Father, we pray that our brother would be strengthened in his faith, that he would continue to trust in You and Your promises. Help him to remember that You are always with him, even in the darkest of times.

We ask all these things in Jesus's name, Amen.

Lastly, we want to encourage you to continue to trust in the Lord. Remember that He is always with you, and that He will never leave you nor forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:6 WEB, Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or scared of them; for Yahweh your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you. Keep pressing on in prayer, and remember to always pray in Jesus's name, as it is only by His name that we have access to God. John 14:6 WEB, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

We're here for you, brother. Let's keep trusting in the Lord, for He is faithful. In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen.
