Alaska / Tuesday Prayer Req

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

In 2019 my family and I moved to Alaska to begin working with a small church.

In 2022, my contract was complete and I secured a job in my home state of Texas. My wife and daughter were going overseas to visit family. I took the two boys, and we went to Texas to set up our home and to begin my new job.

My wife went to court and lied. She told the judge that I had stolen the boys. Since I was in Texas and unable to respond, the judge gave her permission to go get the boys. She and a sister in Christ went to Texas and got them. It was a very sad day for me.

Prayer answered:

I pray fervently that God would take me back to Alaska. Finally, in August 2024 God gave me a first class ticket from San Francisco to Alaska. Courtesy of my previous company. I moved to Alaska with no place to live & no car to drive. I was walking by faith and not by sight (2 Cor 5:7).

From August 2024, to the present, life has been very difficult on me. It’s like God is testing my faith!

Living conditions:

Shelter – 4.5 months
Nice apartment - 4.5 months
Back of van – 28 nights
Basement - 4 months

Jobs lost:

Teaching and coaching - 11/20
Laboratory manager - 06/16

Gas station manager
Car testing manager
(Jobs certain but rescinded)

Mental and physical:

I have suffered greatly with depression and deep sadness over my situation. I have never been suicidal, but I have asked God to take my life and let me go home to be with him.

I almost died on December 29 when I got locked out of my van and -23 to Fahrenheit on top of the mountain. I had gone there to worship and for some reason my door locked.

My current condition:

Thank God for the gig economy. Since I arrived in Alaska, I have done DoorDash and the like and some capacity. Since I lost my last job on June 16, I have done it mainly full-time.

I am so thankful to God for the gig economy. It keeps my head above water and allows me to live my life until God opens up a great job.

I am living in the basement still, but the owner of this house has asked me to leave by November 1. So, I do not know what I will do after that.

Prayer request:

My birthday is on October 9. I know it will be a difficult day for me as I am very sentimental about birthdays and the like.

On my birthday in 2023, I read the entire book of the psalms as my birthday gift. It was one of the greatest gifts I ever gave myself. I may do the same on this birthday as well.

In fact, I have read the psalms like 30 times since October 2023. They have been a huge blessing to me.

Please pray:

God will reconcile my marriage.
God will bring my family back together.

God will give me a great job.
God will give me a great place to live.

God will give me strength. I need strength.

I feel like my love for God/Christ is greater now than it’s ever been. I really mean that.

I love my wife. She has done some terrible things to me, but I stand prepared to forgive her like Christ forgave all of us.

I am not a perfect man, but one area I’ve always done good in is forgiveness. I’ve always been a forgiving person. I stand prepared to forgive my wife.

I have pleaded with God, God if you are not going to reconcile my marriage will you please take me far away from Alaska? Will you please give me a job wherever you want me to go, a good job and I will leave immediately.

I am completely exhausted.

God, please answer these prayers.
 
We are deeply moved by your testimony of faith amid such profound trials, and we stand with you in prayer, lifting your burdens before the Lord. Your perseverance through suffering is a testament to the strength God provides, even when the path is dark and uncertain. We see how you cling to Him in the Psalms, and we rejoice that your love for Christ has grown deeper through this season. Yet we also grieve with you over the brokenness in your marriage, the separation from your children, and the instability you face. Let us turn to Scripture for truth, encouragement, and direction as we pray over these requests.

The betrayal and deception you’ve endured from your wife are heartbreaking, and we acknowledge the pain of her actions—especially the false accusations that led to the separation from your sons. While your heart is postured toward forgiveness, we must also remind you that reconciliation requires *repentance*. Scripture is clear: *"If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him"* (Luke 17:3, WEB). Forgiveness does not mean pretending sin never occurred or exposing yourself to further harm. True reconciliation can only happen if your wife turns from deception and seeks godly counsel. We pray for her heart to be softened, for conviction of sin, and for the Lord to either restore your marriage *on His terms* or grant you wisdom and peace if He calls you to a different path. *"A wife is bound by law for as long as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whoever she desires, only in the Lord. But in my opinion, she is happier if she remains as she is"* (1 Corinthians 7:39–40, WEB). Marriage is sacred, but it must reflect Christ’s covenant love—truthful, selfless, and holy.

Your cry for a stable home and work is heard. The Lord has sustained you through gig work, and we trust He will provide again. Remember how He fed Elijah by the brook Cherith (1 Kings 17:4–6) and later through the widow’s jar of flour—*supernaturally*. Your current instability is not outside His sovereignty. *"Look at the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:26, 32–33, WEB). We pray for a *godly* job—not just any job, but one that aligns with His will and provides for your needs without compromising your integrity. We also pray for a safe, warm place to live, whether through divine connections, a new opportunity, or even a miracle like the one that brought you to Alaska on a first-class ticket. *"Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to him be the glory in the Assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen"* (Ephesians 3:20–21, WEB).

Your mental and physical suffering is real, and we do not minimize it. The enemy would love to use isolation, depression, and exhaustion to steal your joy and faith. But God’s Word declares: *"We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair; pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed; always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body"* (2 Corinthians 4:8–10, WEB). That night on the mountain when you were locked out in -23°F was not an accident—it was a spiritual battle. Satan sought to destroy you, but God preserved you *for a purpose*. Cling to this: *"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). Your birthday may be painful, but let it also be a day of declaring God’s faithfulness. Read the Psalms aloud as an act of worship, and let the truth of His promises anchor you.

Brother, your weariness is evident, and we urge you: *Do not give up.* The Lord is refining you, and though the fire is hot, He is with you in it. *"Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness"* (Isaiah 41:10, WEB). If God calls you to remain in Alaska, He will sustain you. If He calls you elsewhere, He will open the door. But do not let despair dictate your steps. *"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"* (Proverbs 3:5–6, WEB).

Now, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother, lifting his broken heart, his weary body, and his trembling faith into Your hands. Lord, You see the injustice he has suffered—the lies, the separation from his children, the instability, and the deep loneliness. You collect every tear in Your bottle (Psalm 56:8), and You are not blind to his pain.

We pray first for his marriage. If it is Your will, soften his wife’s heart to repentance. Expose every lie and bring her to a place of godly sorrow. If reconciliation is possible, restore this marriage in truth and holiness, for Your glory. But if she remains hardened, grant our brother the wisdom to walk in obedience, the strength to forgive without enabling sin, and the peace to trust Your plan—even if it means release. Protect his sons, Lord. Let them know their father’s love and Your love, even in this separation.

Father, provide for his needs. You own the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10)—open doors for a *stable, godly* job that uses his gifts and meets his needs. Provide a warm, safe home before November 1. Let Your provision be so undeniable that his faith is strengthened, and others see Your hand at work.

Lord, lift the depression from him. Renew his mind with Your Word (Romans 12:2). When he asks for death, remind him that his life is Yours, and You have purpose for his days. Fill him with Your joy, which is his strength (Nehemiah 8:10). Protect him from the enemy’s attacks—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

On his birthday, meet him in the Psalms. Let Your truth be a balm to his soul. Surround him with Your presence, even if he feels alone. And Father, if Alaska is no longer where You want him, make the path clear. Give him favor, a job, and a new beginning wherever You lead.

Most of all, Lord, draw him closer to You. Let this season of suffering produce in him a faith more precious than gold (1 Peter 1:7). May he know, beyond doubt, that You are his Provider, his Defender, and his Redeemer.

We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and King. Amen.

Finally, brother, we leave you with this charge: *"Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings. But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you"* (1 Peter 5:8–10, WEB). You are not forgotten. You are not abandoned. Keep fighting the good fight. We are standing with you.
 
Dear friend,

We're here with you, lifting your burdens to the Lord. We're moved by your resilience and trust in God amidst such trials. Your love for Christ has indeed grown deeper through this season.

We join you in praying for your marriage. We believe God can reconcile it, but it requires repentance. We ask God to soften your wife's heart, to bring conviction of sin, and to either restore your marriage on His terms or grant you wisdom and peace if He calls you to a different path. We also pray for your sons, that they may know their father's love and God's love, even in this separation.

We intercede for a stable home and work. We trust God will provide, just as He sustained you through gig work. We ask for a godly job that aligns with His will and provides for your needs without compromising your integrity. We also pray for a safe, warm place to live, whether through divine connections, a new opportunity, or even a miracle like the one that brought you to Alaska on a first-class ticket.

Your mental and physical suffering is real, and we don't minimize it.

That night on the mountain was not an accident; it was a spiritual battle. Satan sought to destroy you, but God preserved you for a purpose. Cling to this: "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" (Psalm 34:18).
