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

Thank you for praying for me. I’m grateful for each and every time you’ve taken my name before the throne of Grace and Mercy.

In August 2022, my job in Alaska was complete. I had secured a new job in my home state of Texas. My two young boys and I went to Texas to set up our new home and start a new job. My wife and older daughter we’re going overseas to visit family.

After, the boys and I left Alaska, my wife hired an attorney and together they went to court and convinced the judge that I had taken the boys across state lines. Thus, he gave them permission to get the boys. They did I was 5000 miles away in Texas and did not know what they were doing.

In mid September, while I was in my room working teaching school, they descended upon the school and took my two young sons. I have not seen them since.

Right now, it is 4 AM. Every day is so painful. I have not seen my children in so long. I love them with all of my heart and I miss them terribly. I played with God every day to do something. The pain is so overwhelming I can barely exist.

After she took my sons, I pleaded with God that he would intercede and restore my marriage in my family. I bet I have prayed over 1 million times if not more, I even prayed that God would take me back to Alaska.

Looking back, I can see the hand of God as he answered my prayer. It gives me strength when I think about his hand and that is working. In the summer, of 2024, God took me to California for a temporary job. The job was only to be 30 days, but it got extended to 60 days. While there, I was given a job offer in Alaska to teach school. I took the job my company then flew me to my new home in Alaska.

I moved back to Alaska with no place to live in no car to drive. I was walking by faith and not by sight. I was so confident that God was working. I was confident that just like Abraham, God would make provision for me. Abraham was convinced that even if he killed his son, God would provide him the the promised son. Similarly, I was convinced that God was going to give me a place to live in a car to drive.

Since I’ve been back in Alaska, I have suffered greatly. The pain and anguish of being all alone in such a difficult world. Many bad things happen to me that were very uncomfortable and difficult to deal with. It seems that God always made provision. God provided some way in somehow.

I have now been back in Alaska for like 19 months. I have suffered through so many different things. I have been without a comfortable living situation for most of the time. I have lost two really good paying jobs due to no fault of my own. I even lost the teaching job due to a contract issue. I have suffered greatly and so many different ways. It’s painful and there’s many times I just wanted to give up.

I am not suicidal. But, I have prayed many times that God would end my life and exchange it for somebody else so that I could just go to heaven. I love God with all my heart, and I want to spend eternity with him. Of course, when I speak of God, I’m talking about Christ in the spirit, etc..

I keep coming back here because sometimes the pain gets so overwhelming. It’s like a cup that fills up and then overflows. In my life, my heart overflows with anxiety and pain, deep deep pain is almost overbearing.

After I lost my jobs, started doing gig work. I started learning how to do it well and make good money. But then I started having car issues which hindered me from working. I had three blowouts since six weeks. Then I had a pretty serious issue with my front end of my car. Then I used a rental car for nearly 6 months. Now, for the last month I’ve been unable to work due to my car.

I keep pleading with God and asking him God please take this pain away. Please take away the deep sadness person. Sometimes, I just wish I had a reset button on the top of my head and I could just forget everything but every day it’s like I’m dealing with pain.

Despite all the pain, my wife has put me through, I still love her and care about her. I still hope and pray that God will bring her to her senses so that she will repent. I stand prepared to forgive her and love her like Jesus love the church and gave himself for her.

I need a miracle in my life. God, please hear my voice. God, please restore my marriage in my family. God please do something soon because I’m exhausted.

Please pray for me

Strength
Family together marriage together
New solid job
Turned my weeping into dancing
Stability


Dear friends, thank you for praying for me. I’m exhausted from all the pain. I’m exhausted from all of the difficulties that I have walked through.

I am 1000% confident that God is fully aware of my situation (Ps 139). I’m confident that he is working behind the scenes. I’m confident that he is making provision along the way.

Yesterday, after 4 to 5 weeks of not working due to my van breaking in the extreme -40 temperatures, I was able to get a rental car for one week. Having the rental car will allow me to work and make some money and hopefully free up some of the anxiety.

I feel like I could write a book about everything that God has done. I feel like my faith is stronger than it’s ever been. I feel like my love for God is stronger than it’s ever been.

Thank you for praying for me
 
We hear your cry, dear brother, and we lift you up before the throne of grace with heavy hearts. The pain you carry is deep, and the separation from your sons is a wound that only God can fully heal. Yet we stand with you in faith, knowing that the same God who led you back to ### is working even now to restore what has been broken. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you might have life—and have it abundantly (John 10:10). The devil has no authority over a child of God, and we rebuke every scheme of the enemy meant to keep you in bondage to sorrow, isolation, and despair. Your wife’s actions were unjust, and we pray that God will expose the truth and bring repentance—not only for her but for all who participated in this grievous wrong.

You have walked by faith, not by sight, and we commend your trust in the Lord even when circumstances seemed impossible. Like Abraham, you believed God would provide, and He has been faithful in ways you may not yet see. But we must also speak truth: your longing to have your life exchanged for another, even in your pain, is not God’s will. He has numbered your days and has a purpose for you here (Psalm 139:16). Suicide is a lie from the enemy, and we rebuke that thought in Jesus’ name. You are not forgotten. You are not abandoned. You are deeply loved, and your life matters to the Kingdom of God.

Your marriage is sacred, and we pray for its restoration—not because it is easy, but because God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16) and desires reconciliation where sin has caused division. Yet restoration must be built on truth and repentance. Your wife’s actions were not only unjust but sinful, and she must come to a place of genuine sorrow for what she has done. We pray that God will soften her heart and bring her to repentance, but we also pray for wisdom for you. Forgiveness does not mean ignoring sin or enabling further harm. It means releasing the bitterness to God while trusting Him to bring justice. You cannot control her choices, but you can choose to walk in obedience to Christ, even when it hurts.

We also lift up your financial and practical needs. The car troubles, job losses, and instability are not coincidences—they are attacks meant to wear you down. But God is your provider (Philippians 4:19), and we declare that He will open doors no man can shut. We pray for a stable job that will meet your needs and allow you to fight for your sons. We pray for favor with employers, mechanics, and anyone who can help you get back on your feet. We rebuke the spirit of lack and declare that your latter days will be greater than your former (Job 42:12).

Most of all, we pray for your sons. The enemy has stolen time with them, but God can restore the years the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). We pray that the Lord will guard their hearts and minds, that they will know their father’s love even from a distance, and that one day soon, you will be reunited. We pray for legal breakthrough—wisdom for attorneys, favor with judges, and a swift resolution that honors God’s design for family. The courts of man are flawed, but the courts of heaven are just, and we ask that God intervene in ways only He can.

We also want to gently address a concern: while you mention God and Christ, we urge you to ensure your faith is firmly rooted in the finished work of Jesus. Salvation comes through faith in Him alone—not just a belief in God, but a personal relationship with Jesus as your Lord and Savior (Acts 4:12). If you have never surrendered your life to Him, we encourage you to do so now. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). This is the foundation of all hope and the source of true strength.

Now, let us pray:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts for our brother. Lord, You see his pain, his longing, and his faithfulness even in the midst of suffering. We ask that You would be near to him, that he would feel Your presence like never before. Comfort him with the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Lord, we declare that the enemy’s plans will not prevail. You are the God who restores, and we ask that You restore his family, his marriage, and his joy.

Father, we pray for his wife. Soften her heart, Lord. Bring conviction where there is hardness, repentance where there is sin, and humility where there is pride. If it is Your will, restore their marriage, but do so in a way that honors You and protects our brother and his sons. Give him wisdom to know how to respond, whether that means fighting for reconciliation or walking in the freedom of forgiveness without enabling further harm.

We pray for his sons, Lord. Guard their hearts. Let them know their father’s love, even from afar. Protect them from lies and manipulation, and bring them back into his arms soon. We ask for legal breakthrough—favor in the courts, wisdom for attorneys, and a swift resolution that aligns with Your justice.

Lord, we ask for provision. Open doors for stable employment. Provide reliable transportation. Meet every need, financial and otherwise, according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Remove the spirit of lack and replace it with Your abundance. We rebuke every attack of the enemy meant to keep him in bondage to fear, anxiety, and despair. Strengthen him, Lord. Renew his hope. Turn his weeping into dancing (Psalm 30:11).

We also pray for his spiritual walk. Deepen his relationship with You. Let his faith grow even stronger through this trial. Remind him that he is not alone, that You are working all things together for his good (Romans 8:28). Give him the strength to endure, the courage to keep fighting, and the peace that comes from trusting in You.

Finally, Lord, we ask that You would use his story for Your glory. Let others see Your faithfulness through his life. Let his testimony be a light in the darkness, pointing others to You. We trust You, Lord. We believe that You are working, even when we cannot see it. We declare that this is not the end of his story—it is a chapter in a greater narrative that You are writing, one that ends with restoration, redemption, and rejoicing.

We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the name by which we are saved and set free. Amen.
 
We're standing with you, brother, as you navigate through this storm. We hear your cry and we're lifting you up in prayer. We know that God is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18), and we believe that He is working even now to bring healing and restoration to your situation.

We pray for your sons, that God would guard their hearts and minds, and that they would know their father's love, even from a distance. We ask that God would bring them back into your arms soon, and that He would give you the strength to fight for them.

We also pray for your wife, that God would soften her heart and bring her to a place of genuine repentance. We ask that God would give you wisdom in how to respond, whether that means fighting for reconciliation or walking in the freedom of forgiveness without enabling further harm.

We lift up your financial and practical needs, and we declare that God is your provider (Philippians 4:19). We pray for a stable job that will meet your needs and allow you to fight for your sons. We pray for favor with employers, mechanics, and anyone who can help you get back on your feet.

Most of all, we pray for your heart. We ask that God would comfort you with the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). We declare that the enemy's plans will not prevail, and that God is the God who restores (Psalm 147:3).

We're here for you, brother. Keep fighting the good fight of faith, and remember that you are not alone. God is with you, and we are with you in prayer.
 
Seek His Face and Presence not just His hand. In his Presence is everything you need. This does not mean you can have any material thing, perfect spouse because you asked for it in Jesus Christ name. You will have your needs, some of your wants, and difficult trials. The difficult trials are supposed to refine your character and make you more like Jesus. He is more interested in getting you to everlasting life and having your heart in the right place than he is in giving you gifts. It’s eternal life he’s concerned with.
 
May the Lord bless you and guide you.

Our Heavenly Father, we come to You, and ask you to heal our ###'s life. Give him strength to face the challenges and guide him through every hardship to a blessed life in Your peace. We pray that You please restore his marriage, make all things new for him, that his family can be back together as a whole and that they can grow in Your love.

Lord, You hear his pain. You know his anxieties. We pray that you provide for him a new, better, stable job so that he can provide for himself and his family. Please Lord, bring his wife's heart back to You, and from there, back to him. Please restore what has been broken and make all things new.

Please help our ### to keep being a man of faith and guide his family toward You. Please Lord, we pray that you bring them all back together. Create a home for them, based on Your foundation.

Lord, we pray that you guide him to the future You have for him, to the purpose You have for his life. May all his hardships bring glory to You and be testimony for others to come to You.

Please restore his life, Lord. We pray that you help him and his family to be back together.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, amen.
