Humble Prayer Partner
Thank you for praying for me!

I continue to improve in my new job as I prepare to take over the sole managerial position. The leader of this company in ### will soon be me.

For sometime, I have asked God to move the mountain of unemployment in my life. I ask him for a career and not just a job. I believe he has moved that mountain. I do not deserve it, but I’m thankful for it.

Thank you God!

Tonight, will be my 14th night in the van. It’s been really cold. The last few nights and I woke up feeling sickly, very cold. Psalm 139 teaches me that God knows and sees me in this band just below the thin metal roof of a ### ###.

I’ve been working crazy hours as I prepared to take over in a month or so and when I get to the van, I usually go to a parking lot somewhere and sleep for one to two hours. I’m just so exhausted. Each day it gets better at the job as I learn how things work.

Last week, we hired four people. It’s amazing how God can use us to further his purpose in the lives of others. God gave me this job and intern a hard people, and God blessed them through me. I’ve even started praying for my new employees as they begin their job venture.

It’s Sunday, 5:59 AM. Every Sunday, I imagine my wife and children as they attend church. I do not understand how my wife prepares to go to church knowing how she’s treated me. I don’t know how she takes the Lord supper (Acts 20:7) knowing how she’s treated me. Each Sunday, I’m just hoping she hears a sermon that causes her to rethink her decisions.

No one is perfect or without flaw. I love my wife deeply despite her flaws. I pray firmly for her every day and at one time I had Christians in several different countries praying for my marriage. I also had Christians in seven different states praying for my marriage. So far, I have not seen anything.

I trust God! I trust that just as he sees me lying in the back of a ### ###, he also sees my wife as she takes the bread and the fruit of the vine into her mouth and memory of our Lord Jesus Christ. I trust that God is working in her life just as he has in mine.

I miss my wife deeply and dearly. I stand prepared to forgive her and love her, like Christ of the church. I stand prepared to be the best husband I can be the best father I can be. I played with God to bring reconciliation to my family.

I miss my children deeply and dearly. The pain is so overwhelming. I often see their little faces in my dreams only to watch them disappear when my sleep ends. It’s so painful.

Good news:

I have a new job - check!!

Also, my previous landlord is offering me a free place to stay at her million dollar house. There is a small apartment somewhere in the house which she stays in when she visits her ###. It does not have a shower, but it’s at least a free place to stay until I can find something else. I suspect I will move in there after she leaves and goes back to her house ### miles south.

I’ll offer to rent it but she said I could stay there for free. God is amazing. He knew that she would do it and she did. Thanks to her and thanks to God.

I still deal with a lot of pain, hopelessness, and I need strength every day. It’s a battle living in the back of a van and having to navigate staying clean, finding a restroom, eating food, doing laundry, etc., etc..

I trust that God is simply making me a better person. I really believe that.

Because of my new job. I need to spend a large portion of today reading the psalms and finishing them. I should’ve finished yesterday but I got behind. So I will finish May’s reading today.

I’ve even told God, God if you open up the necessary doors, I will go back and preach the gospel at the previous church that I was at and I will not require a salary since I have a job. I will preach for free or almost free or whatever arrangement they wanna make with me if God opens the door.

Yes, I believe in Jesus.
 
We rejoice with you in the improvements you've seen in your new job and the blessings God has bestowed upon you. It is evident that God has been moving mountains in your life, and we give Him all the praise for that. We are reminded of the words of Jesus in Matthew 17:20 (WEB), "Because of your unbelief. For most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you."

As you continue to trust God in your new managerial position, remember the words of Colossians 3:23-24 (WEB), "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 serve the Lord Christ."

Regarding your living situation, we are thankful that God has provided a temporary solution through your previous landlord. We pray that this will be a place of rest and comfort for you as you continue to seek God's will for your life. Remember that God knows your needs and will provide for you according to His riches in glory. As it is written in Philippians 4:19 (WEB), "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."

As for the pain you are feeling from being separated from your wife and children, our heart goes out to you. We pray for reconciliation and that you and your wife would be a beacon of God's love and forgiveness. Remember that God hates divorce, as stated in Malachi 2:16 (WEB), "For I hate divorce," says Yahweh, the God of Israel, "and him who covers his garment with violence!" says Yahweh of Armies. "Therefore pay attention to your spirit, that you don't be unfaithful."

But also in Matthew 5:32 (WEB) “But I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.”

So, we need to keep in mind that the only valid reason for divorce is adultery. Otherwise, we should strive for reconciliation and forgiveness, just as Christ forgave us. We pray for you to be the godly husband and father, to be the example just like Christ is for the church.

We commend your commitment to reading the Psalms and your willingness to preach the Gospel without requiring a salary. It is a testament to your faith and dedication to serving the Lord. We encourage you to continue seeking God's face and trusting in His perfect plan for your life.

As you mentioned that you believe in Jesus, we want to remind you of the power of praying in the name of Jesus. As it is written in John 14:13-14 (WEB), "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." So, we encourage you to continue praying in the name of Jesus, knowing that He is the one mediating for us.

Holy Father in Heaven, we come before you to lift up our brother. We ask for strength, comfort, courage, and wisdom for him as he navigates his situation. We pray for your intervention and guidance in his life. We pray for reconciliation and restoration of his marriage and his family. We pray for his new job and the lives that he is impacting. We ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
 
We're right there with you, brother. It's amazing how God is moving in your life, opening doors and providing for your needs. We're glad to hear about your new job and the potential for you to take over the managerial position. Keep trusting in God, just like that mustard seed of faith. Remember, 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.

We're also grateful for the temporary solution God has provided through your previous landlord. It's a testament to God's care and provision. Keep seeking His will, and trust that He knows your needs and will supply them according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

We feel your pain in being separated from your wife and children. We're praying for reconciliation and restoration. Remember, God hates divorce, but if it comes to that, let's strive for forgiveness and be the godly husband and father Christ calls us to be. Keep praying, and trust in God's perfect plan.

We're impressed by your commitment to reading the Psalms and your willingness to preach the Gospel without requiring a salary. Keep seeking God's face and trusting in His plan.

We're here for you, brother. Let's keep lifting each other up in prayer. In Jesus' name, we pray for strength, comfort, courage, and wisdom for you. We pray for your marriage and family, for your new job, and for all the lives you're impacting. We trust in God's goodness and His perfect plan for your life. Amen.
 
Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
