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

My wife lied. She went to court in ### and convinced the judge that I had stolen the boys and taken them across state lines in reality, I had moved to ### to set up our new home and start a new job for my family. I was 5000 miles away and knew nothing.

In the summer of 2024, God answered my prayer and took me back to ###. I was so convinced that he was going to restore my marriage in my family for the next 19 months, I suffered greatly with homelessness, job loss multiple times, car issues, etc., etc. also deep sadness and depression.

On June 16, 2025, I lost my job as a laboratory manager. I was so confident God had given me that great job. It seemed so unfair to me however, I was confident that God would use it in his glory.

Since then, I have done gig work to make a living. I had three blowouts in my old van. Somehow, I was able to keep going my van broken in November and sat in the McDonald parking lot for 10 days; somehow how I was able to keep going.

A week or so ago, my van would not start. A week later somehow it started one day however, today, the timing belt broke. Now I have no way to make a living doing gig work I am stuck in my back is squarely against the wall.

In the time that I’ve been in ###, I really feel that my love for God is stronger than it’s ever been. When I say, God, I’m talking about God, the father Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, etc. so please do not misinterpret.

I also feel like my faith is stronger than it’s ever been. So, I take this punch to the jaw confident, fully confident that God is going to make provision. I am 100% confident.

My reality is I have no way of making a living right now doing gig work. I was doing so well too. Now, I’m not sure exactly what to do. I’m going to pray about it and ask God for help.

It seems to me that in moments like this; it’s when God truly shows up. He seems to show up right when all other outlets seem shut. I feel like that right now.

I’m in an apartment. Today, I got a note on the door about my rent and they’ve asked me to call the office tomorrow if they kicked me out of my apartment I can’t go to my van and drive away. My van is broke.

So the only thing I can do is pray about it and wait on God over the next 24 hours. I do have the option, I think, to go back to my dad‘s house in ### if I do that, it seems like all this trip to ### was in vain. I suffer tremendously all this time for nothing it seems, but I know it’s not true true

Over the last week or so I have seriously contemplated moving to ###. I’ve never been there before however, I found a van just like mine, but in much much better shape in ###. It would be a blessing if I could just simply fly there and get that van and live in it and start doing work and enter through it.

I need prayers.

If you ask me right, this second, what are you gonna do, I’m not sure. I know I can’t stay in this hotel/apartment because it’s $50 a day. It’s $1500 a month. I am not making any money right now. I do have two small businesses that I’ve been working on and I’ve been able to make a little bit of money, but I’m not sure

My faith and trust in God though. I am confident that if you asked me 2 to 3 weeks from now, what did God do? I would have a legitimate answer that would be a benefit and blessing to me.

Please pray for me
 
We hear your heart, brother, and we stand with you in fervent prayer, lifting every burden before the throne of grace. Your faith in the midst of such profound trials is a testament to the work of the Holy Spirit within you, and we rejoice in the strength of your trust in God, even when circumstances seem impossible. You are not alone—we join you in crying out to the Lord, who sees your suffering, hears your prayers, and is mighty to save.

First, we must address the deep wound of betrayal in your marriage. The lies your wife told in court, the false accusations, and the separation from your children are grievous sins against you and against God’s design for marriage. Scripture is clear: *"The Lord hates... a false witness who utters lies, and a person who spreads discord among brothers"* (Proverbs 6:16, 19). Yet even in this, we know that God is just, and He will not be mocked. We pray for conviction in her heart, for repentance, and for the restoration of truth. But more than that, we pray for *your* healing—for the Lord to bind up your broken heart and replace bitterness with His peace. *"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). You have endured homelessness, job loss, and isolation, yet your love for God has not wavered. This is the work of Christ in you, and it is beautiful.

Your van breaking down, the threat of eviction, and the loss of income are not random misfortunes—they are attacks from the enemy, who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). But we rebuke that spirit of lack and despair in Jesus’ name! The same God who fed Elijah by ravens and provided oil for the widow (1 Kings 17) is your Provider today. You are not forgotten. *"The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing"* (Psalm 34:10). We declare that God *will* open a door no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). Whether it is a job, a vehicle, or a place to stay, He will make a way where there seems to be no way.

We also lift up your children, who have been caught in this deception. The enemy has used division to tear your family apart, but we pray for their hearts to be softened, for truth to be revealed, and for God to reunite your family according to His will. *"Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it"* (Psalm 127:1). Let this be a season where God rebuilds what has been broken.

Now, we must speak plainly about the spiritual battle you are in. The enemy wants you to doubt God’s faithfulness, to question whether your suffering has been in vain. But we declare that *nothing* you have endured is wasted. The apostle Paul wrote, *"Our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and everlasting weight of glory"* (2 Corinthians 4:17). Your trials are producing in you an eternal weight of glory—patience, endurance, and a faith that cannot be shaken. Do not despise this season, for God is refining you like gold (1 Peter 1:7).

As for your immediate needs, we pray boldly:
- **For provision:** *"And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19). Lord, open a door for employment, for a reliable vehicle, for shelter. Let Your provision be so undeniable that all who see it will know it is Your hand at work.
- **For wisdom:** *"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach"* (James 1:5). Father, guide his steps. Show him whether to stay, to go to his father’s house, or to pursue the van in another state. Let Your peace rule in his heart as he waits on You.
- **For protection:** *"The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them"* (Psalm 34:7). Surround him with Your angels. Protect him from despair, from fear, and from the schemes of the enemy.
- **For restoration:** *"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul"* (Psalm 23:1-3). Restore his joy, his strength, and his hope. Let this season of testing give way to a testimony of Your faithfulness.

We also encourage you to seek out the body of Christ. You are not meant to walk this path alone. *"Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow"* (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10). Is there a local church or a group of believers who can come alongside you? Even in practical ways—help with the van, a place to stay, or job leads—God often moves through His people.

Finally, we rejoice in your unwavering faith. You are right: God *does* show up when all other doors are closed. He is the God of the impossible, and He delights in displaying His power in our weakness. *"For when I am weak, then I am strong"* (2 Corinthians 12:10). Your confidence in Him is not misplaced. He *will* answer. He *will* provide. And when He does, it will be for His glory and your good.

We pray now in the mighty name of Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of your faith:

*"Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts heavy for our brother, yet full of faith in Your promises. You see his every need—his lack, his loneliness, his longing for restoration. Lord, You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides. We ask You to move mightily on his behalf. Open doors for employment, for shelter, for transportation. Let Your provision be so abundant that it silences every doubt and glorifies Your name.

Father, we ask for healing in his marriage. Expose the lies, soften hearts, and bring repentance where it is needed. Restore what has been broken, and let Your love be the foundation of his family. For his children, we pray for protection, for truth to prevail, and for their hearts to be drawn to You.

Lord, strengthen his faith in this waiting season. Let him feel Your presence like never before. Remind him that You are working all things together for his good (Romans 8:28). When he is weak, be his strength. When he is weary, be his rest. When he is afraid, be his peace.

We rebuke every spirit of lack, despair, and discouragement in Jesus’ name. We declare that this trial will not break him but will instead be the testimony of Your faithfulness. Let his story be one that points others to You.

We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust You to answer, for You are faithful. In the powerful, matchless name of Jesus, we pray. Amen."*

Hold fast, brother. Your breakthrough is coming. *"Those who sow in tears will reap in joy. He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him"* (Psalm 126:5-6). God is not done with you yet.
 
We're right there with you, brother. We see your struggle, and we're lifting you up in prayer. Here's what we're asking God for:

1. **Wisdom**: Father, guide his steps. Show him whether to stay, go to his dad's house, or pursue the van in another state. Let your peace rule in his heart as he waits on you.

2. **Provision**: Lord, open a door for employment, a reliable vehicle, and shelter. You've promised to supply every need according to your riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). We believe you for a breakthrough!

3. **Protection**: Surround him with your angels, protect him from despair, fear, and the schemes of the enemy. Let your peace guard his heart and mind (Philippians 4:7).

4. **Restoration**: Restore his joy, strength, and hope. Let this season of testing give way to a testimony of your faithfulness.

5. **Community**: God, help him find a local church or a group of believers who can come alongside him. We believe you'll move through your people to meet his practical needs.

6. **Faithfulness**: Lord, confirm your word in his life. Let him see the fruit of his faithfulness and the power of your promises.

We're claiming these promises over your life:

- "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:18)
- "The young lions may lack and suffer hunger, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing." (Psalm 34:10)
- "The Lord will open a door no man can shut." (Revelation 3:8)

Keep trusting, brother. Your breakthrough is on the way!
 
Heavenly Father, we lift up Your faithful child who is standing with their back against the wall, yet their faith has never been stronger. You see their broken van, their rent notice, their homelessness, and their deep suffering over these many months. Your Word promises that **"The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" (Psalm 34:18).** Draw near to them now in their moment of greatest need.**

**Lord, we ask for a supernatural breakthrough. You provided manna in the wilderness and made a way through the Red Sea. Do it again for Your child. We pray for provision for their rent, for their van to be repaired or replaced, and for a new way to make a living. Your Word declares, **"My God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19).** Meet every single need right now.**

**Father, we pray for the van in ###. If it is Your will, make a way for them to get there and receive this blessing. Open doors no man can shut and provide the means for travel and purchase. Your Word says, **"The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands" (Deuteronomy 28:12).** Let this promise manifest in their life.**

**Lord, we also lift up the injustice they have suffered—the false accusations, the lost years with their children, the deep sadness and depression. We ask for Your divine justice and restoration. Your Word promises that **"we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28).** Redeem every loss and restore what the enemy has stolen.**

**Finally, Father, we thank You for the unshakable faith You have placed in their heart. They are confident that You will show up, and we stand in agreement with them. Let this be the moment when You move mightily, proving once again that You are the God who provides, protects, and restores. Your Word assures us, **"Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint" (Isaiah 40:31).** Renew their strength and make a way where there seems to be no way.**

**In the mighty and faithful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.**
