Dear friends,

I just woke a few minutes ago. My dreams they haunt me and make me really weak when I wake. The pain is so overwhelming.

In August 2022, my wife left me. She then used the court system to steal my children. I was ### miles away. I have not seen my children since.

My depression due to not seeing my children is almost overwhelming. It’s almost unbearable to the point that I actually do not want to live anymore. I’m not suicidal, but I just getting so much pain that I pray that God will just take my life and give it to somebody else.

I have dreams at night about my children and the bill takes me when I wake up. I have so little strength when I wake up that I can barely do anything.

My God has been good to me. I’m so thankful for what he has done for me, but I feel so weak right now. I need to come here and ask for prayers for strength. That’s all I know to do is to call up on people and ask them for prayers.

My back is up against the wall

God brought me back to ###, but he has not brought my family back together. Since I’ve been back, I have suffered in every way. Homelessness, job loss, job loss again. I have not worked a regular job in almost a year. I’ve been doing gig work, but then I started having car issues. One cannot have car issues when it’s -###°F it’s deadly.

So, I am here to ask for prayers

I’m trying to decide what to do next. I thought seriously of leaving ### and moving to ###. The warmer weather would be good for me. The sunlight would be good for me. I’m exhausted, dear friends.

I’m so mentally and physically exhausted. I’m surprised I’m still alive to be honest. I’ve just been so overwhelmed with grief and despair and deep sadness. I need your prayers.

I still love my wife, even though she did horrible things to me. I still love her, and I am prepared to forgive her. I’m not a perfect man, but I’ve always been forgiving. I pray for reconciliation and restoration.

I’m just so exhausted. The pain is so overwhelming at times I can’t even function.

Thank you for your prayers.

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 weight of losing your children and the life you once knew is almost unbearable. But we want you to know that you are not alone—God sees your tears, hears your groans, and holds your broken heart in His hands. The psalmist wrote, *"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). Even in your exhaustion, He is near.

The dreams that haunt you are a cruel reminder of what has been stolen, but we rebuke the spirit of despair that seeks to overwhelm you. Jesus said, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28). You are carrying a burden no man should have to bear alone, and we stand with you, declaring that the enemy will not have the final word over your life or your children’s lives. The court system may have failed you, but God’s justice is perfect, and His ways are higher. We pray that He would open doors no man can shut and restore what has been taken from you.

Your love for your wife, even after the pain she has caused, is a testament to the grace of God in your life. Forgiveness is a powerful act of obedience, but we must also warn you—reconciliation requires repentance and change from both parties. The Bible says, *"If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men"* (Romans 12:18). You have done your part in offering forgiveness, but restoration must be built on truth and righteousness. We pray that if it is God’s will, your wife would come to a place of genuine repentance, but we also pray for wisdom for you, that you would not be drawn into false hope or further harm.

Your physical and emotional exhaustion is real, and we do not take it lightly. The enemy would love to see you give up, but we declare that God has not forgotten you. The psalmist cried out, *"Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God!"* (Psalm 42:5). We pray for supernatural strength to rise up within you, for provision in your time of need, and for clarity as you seek God’s direction for the next steps. Whether you stay or go, we ask that the Lord would make His path clear and provide for every need.

We also lift up your children before the Lord. They are His before they are yours, and we pray that He would protect their hearts, minds, and spirits. May they know their father’s love even in his absence, and may the Lord reunite your family in His perfect timing. Until then, we ask that He would sustain you with His peace that surpasses all understanding.

Let us pray:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts for our brother. Lord, You see his pain, his exhaustion, and his longing for restoration. We ask that You would be his strength in this hour of weakness. Fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Lord, we rebuke the spirit of despair and declare that joy comes in the morning. Provide for his every need—spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Give him wisdom as he seeks Your will for the next steps in his life. Father, we pray for his children, that You would protect them, draw them close to You, and reunite this family according to Your perfect will. If reconciliation is Your plan, soften hearts and bring repentance. If not, give him the grace to accept Your will and the strength to move forward. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who bore our griefs and carried our sorrows. Amen.

Hold on, brother. The night may feel long, but dawn is coming. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of your faith. He is working even when you cannot see it.

We're right here with you, brother. We understand that the pain you're feeling is immense, like a heavy weight that's hard to bear. But remember, God is always near, even in the darkest times. He sees your tears, hears your cries, and knows the depth of your sorrow.

We want you to know that you're not alone in this. We're standing with you, lifting you up in prayer. We believe that God has a purpose in all of this, and He's working even now to bring about His will in your life and the lives of your children.

We understand that the dreams you have at night about your children are a cruel reminder of what you've lost. But we rebuke the spirit of despair that seeks to overwhelm you. Instead, let's focus on the hope we have in Jesus Christ. He said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). He's calling you to come to Him, to find rest in Him.

We're praying for you, brother. We're asking God to give you the strength you need to face each day. We're asking Him to provide for your every need, to give you wisdom as you decide what to do next, and to protect your children and draw them close to Him.

And we're asking God to work in the hearts of those who have wronged you. If reconciliation is His will, we pray that He would soften hearts and bring about genuine repentance. If not, we pray that He would give you the grace to accept His will and the strength to move forward.

Hold on, brother. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. He's working even when you can't see it. Trust in Him, and trust in the community of believers who are standing with you, praying for you, and loving you. You're not alone.
