It’s hard to believe I have almost been in the primitive apartment for one week.

The primitive apartment is not great, but it’s a lot better than living in the van with mosquitoes (28 nights). Thank you, God!

It is 1:20 PM. I’ve had a rough morning. I just get easily depressed. Every Sunday, I just hope and pray that my wife would hear a sermon or class that would bring her to repentance. Honestly, I don’t know how she lives with herself having done these horrible things to me.

It’s painful when someone leaves you. Marriage is supposed to be for life. Marriage is two people constantly working on themselves to make the marriage better and more pleasing to God.

Also, it’s painful to lose a job, especially when you thought that job was an answer to prayer. I work hard and I show up on time, etc. so it’s extra painful. When you know you did nothing wrong. In fact you did many things right. I had hired three wonderful people and brought them to the company. I had done many other things that were positive and fruitful.

I believe in Satan. Satan is real. Satan is destructive and would love to harm the most … those who love Christ the most. When I first became a minister, I don’t know that I calculated that properly. Satan would love to destroy a minister or an elder in the church, etc.. if he can just silence the voice of the gospel being preached.

I really wish that those on this thread would quit commenting on mentioning Jesus or not mentioning Jesus. Obviously, I believe in Jesus or I wouldn’t be asking for prayers. I feel like I need to mention something about Jesus to avoid those remarks.

It’s painful to live this life. It looks like so many people out in the world are having their best life, meanwhile, I’m in the primitive apartment all alone.

My life was upside down involving my wife and family, but my new job gave me a reason to get up every day. It gave me hope of a good paycheck and a future that often necessitates a good paycheck. Now, I feel utterly hopeless. God, please hear my voice.

I feel like Job. Everything he had was taken from him. He basically pleaded that God would take his life. I have done that many times. I have asked God to just kill me, strike me dead. I’m not suicidal, but I do want to be with the Lord forever.

In the end, God blessed Job. I have often prayed that God would bless the latter end of James more than his beginning… just like Job. I still pray that prayer from time and time.

Did you know that 80% of divorces are initiated by women. 90% if there’s a college degree. Women in this country have become so ungodly and hateful and mean and vindictive. Divorced women often encourage other women in marriages to divorce. Their husbands too. Misery loves company!

When we think about how ungodly this country has become, we usually think about homosexuality, pornography, and drugs, etc., but rarely do we think of the ungodly efforts to break up marriages in this country. As we all know, marriage is supposed to be for life. Women even mock their vows that they made where they promised to love the other…

One must the men and women from past generations that kept their marriages together through wars and depressions and extremely difficult times… I suspect there were many times they contemplated divorce, but did not.

I need prayers!

I emailed three congregations. Shortly after I took the manager position, the church in New Mexico wanted to fly me down there to look at the position. I prayed fervently about it, but said no because I just taken this manager job. The work in New Mexico was not offered to me so I could not jeopardize my current position.

I contacted a church in Maine, New Mexico and one here in Alaska. I have now heard back from all three. The one in Alaska just hired somebody last week. The one in New Mexico is interviewing several people.

I remember when I first got this job. I praise God all day long thanking him for moving the mountain of unemployment in my life. Now, I have my doubts. It appears he did not move the mountain and it’s still there. I still trust him, but it’s deflating when you think a mountain has been moved, but it’s actually not been moved.

I’ll do DoorDash later today. Last night I went out and made $29 in one hour. Last year, I averaged $32 an hour, but it seemed like the offers were bigger and more often. Sunday night, in the past, it was always good. I think up here it helps when there is snow and ice on the ground and it’s -20° outside. People don’t want to get out and so they order so I wanna bring food to them.

My faith is strong though I do get weak. I’m tired of living in limbo. I’m tired of being sad. I’m tired of feeling hopeless.

God, please help me get back on my feet. Please help me to stand tall again!!

Before I took the manager job, Tesla had contacted me about working for them for three months with the possibility of a full-time position. I haven’t heard back from them. If they offer me the job today, I would take it immediately.

God knows my heart. I’m eager to work. I want to have stability in my life. I guess Satan is the author of chaos and confusion. God, please step in and defeat Satan in my life please send the angel of the Lord or angels or whatever to encamp around me to help me.

I’ve often said if the church in Maine contacted me and offered to bring me out there to teach and preach I would I would go. God knows my heart. He also knows my needs. I can’t go for free. I wish I could, but I can’t I want to serve God, but I’ve got to take care of myself in my future.

I pray every day that God will bring my wife back to me. But unlike God, I do not know the end from the beginning (Ps 90:1-2). I’m tired of being lonely and sad… I want a wife God please bring my wife back to me.

I love the psalms. I read the psalms every month, that is my goal. I am almost done for June and I’ve been reading a lot the last few days. I’ve been praying the psalms which has helped me tremendously. Sometimes I get so tired I have to get in bed and sleep. I just looked at my eyes in the mirror and I have dark circles in my eyes. I look terrible.

I can write a book about all this… Maybe I will and maybe it will bless someone out there who is going through dark days.

Please pray for me
 
We understand that you're going through a very difficult time, and we want to lift you up in prayer and provide some biblical encouragement.

Firstly, we want to address the issue of your wife. Marriage is indeed a lifelong commitment, and it's clear that you're hurting from the separation. We must remember that God hates divorce, as it is written in Malachi 2:16, "For I hate divorce, says Yahweh, the God of Israel". We encourage you to continue praying for your wife, as you have been, that God would soften her heart and bring her to repentance. Remember the power of prayer is not in the amount of words we use, but in the power of God who hears our prayers. As it is written in James 5:16, The effective, earnest prayer of a righteous man is powerfully effective. Remember to forgive her.

We also want to address your job situation. It's commendable that you're a hard worker and that you've been doing your best. Remember that God sees your efforts. As it is written in Colossians 3:23-24, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ." We encourage you to continue trusting in God's timing and provision. He has a plan and a purpose for your life, and He will provide for you.

We want to exhort you to keep your faith in Jesus Christ. You mentioned that you believe in Jesus, which is wonderful, but we want to encourage you to keep your focus on Him. It's only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." We encourage you to continue praying in Jesus' name and to keep your faith in Him, no matter what circumstances you face.

We also want to address the issue of depression and hopelessness. We understand that you're going through a difficult time, but we want to encourage you to keep your hope in God. As it is written in Psalm 42:5, "Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him: my Savior, my helper, and my God." Remember that God is with you, even in your darkest times.

Regarding Satan and the spiritual warfare you're experiencing, remember that God is greater than any evil. As it is written in 1 John 4:4, "You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world." We encourage you to continue praying for God's protection and to keep your faith in Him.

Let us pray for you:

Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother to you today. We pray for his marriage, that you would soften his wife's heart and bring her to repentance. We pray for his job situation, that you would provide for him and guide him to the job that you have for him. We pray for his faith, that he would keep his eyes fixed on Jesus and trust in your timing and provision. We pray for his emotional well-being, that you would fill him with your hope and peace. We pray for his protection, that you would surround him with your angels and keep him from the evil one. We pray for this in Jesus Christ's name. Amen.

We encourage you to continue reading the Psalms and praying for God's guidance and provision. Remember that God is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you. Keep your faith in Him, and trust in His timing and provision.

Lastly, we want to remind you that it's important to seek godly counsel and community in times of trouble. We encourage you to reach out to your local church, pastor, or a trusted Christian friend or counselor to talk about what you're going through. They can provide you with additional support and guidance during this time.
 
Dear friend,

We're here with you, feeling the weight of your situation. It's like you're in a storm, and we want to be your lighthouse, guiding you back to calmer waters.

Firstly, about your wife. We understand the pain of separation, the longing for reconciliation. Remember, God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16). Keep praying for her, not just with words, but with sincerity and faith (James 5:16). Forgive her, as holding onto bitterness only hurts you more. Trust that God is working in her life, even if you can't see it.

Your job situation is tough, but remember, God sees your hard work (Colossians 3:23-24). Trust in His timing. He has a plan, and it's not to leave you hanging. Keep working hard, and keep trusting Him.

You mentioned believing in Jesus, and that's fantastic. But remember, it's not just about believing, it's about following (John 14:6). Keep your focus on Him, no matter what.

Depression and hopelessness are real, and they're not signs of weakness. They're signs that you're human. But remember, God is with you, even in your darkest times (Psalm 42:5). He hasn't abandoned you. Keep hoping in Him.

And about Satan, remember, God is greater (1 John 4:4). Satan can't win if you keep your eyes on Jesus. So, keep praying, keep fighting, and keep trusting.

Let's pray for you:

"Dear Lord, we lift up our brother to You today. We ask for his marriage, that You would soften his wife's heart and bring her back to him. We ask for his job, that You would provide for him and guide him to the right place. We ask for his faith, that he would keep his eyes on Jesus and trust in Your timing. We ask for his emotional well-being, that You would fill him with Your hope and peace. We ask for his protection, that You would surround him with Your angels and keep him from the evil one. We pray all these in Jesus' name. Amen."

Keep reading the Psalms, keep praying, and keep trusting. You're not alone. We're here for you.

In Christ,
