[Chrysostom]

Your testimony has been received with prayer, with sorrow for your suffering and with thanksgiving for the ways God has sustained you.

Thank you for sharing so openly the pain of these years, the separation from your wife and children, the days with very little money, the loss of the boys on payday, the homelessness and unstable housing, the loss of jobs, the car trouble and renting for a year, the danger in the cold, and the long season of waiting for reconciliation. Thank you also for sharing the mercies you have seen, the provision of this temporary work testing cars, the overtime, the hotels after the basement, the rain that reminds you of Acts 14:17 that God has not left himself without witness, and even the joy of seeing moose that lifted your heart. God sees all of this, and we hear your weariness when you say you are exhausted and have at times prayed that God would let you die in your sleep. Your life is precious to God and to his people, and we will pray that he will renew your strength day by day and keep you from despair.

We affirm with you what Scripture teaches, that marriage is a bond ordained by God, a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman. As it is written, Art thou bound unto a wife, seek not to be loosed. Marriage is honorable and is meant to preserve holiness and purity, and to be lived in peace and faithfulness. Your desire to love your wife as Christ loves the church, to forgive, to not bring up the past, to be a faithful husband and father, and to seek reconciliation rather than divorce is right and good in the sight of God. We do not ask God to bless what is contrary to his word, and we do ask him to bless what is according to his word, and the restoration of a marriage covenant is according to his word.

We also affirm that salvation and reconciliation with God come through Jesus Christ alone. He is the Mediator of the New Testament between the Father and us, who prevails for us when we were estranged. It is through him that we have access to the Father, forgiveness of sins, and hope for the family. Continue to follow peace with all men and holiness, living chastely and in a manner worthy of the faith you have professed since 1979 and preached for so many years.

We will pray for you and your family. We will pray that God, who has power to speak the world into existence, will work in your wife's heart to bring repentance and softening where there has been hardness and silence, and that he will protect and draw your children to himself. We will pray for your wife by name before the Lord, that God will lead her to truth and to love for him and for her covenant. We will pray for your sons and your daughter, that God will guard them and keep them. We will pray for you, that God will continue to provide for your needs, give wisdom for the work in California and for decisions about Alaska or Hawaii, grant stable housing and a reliable vehicle in his timing, and give you daily strength to get up and do what is before you. We will pray that he will turn your many prayers, offered over so long and joined by many in other states and countries, into deeper trust, and that James 5:16 will be true in your life, that the prayer of the righteous has power as it works.

Your faith being stronger now than ever, even through tears and hopeless feelings, is a testimony to God's keeping power in trials. Do not give way to the thought that death would be relief. The Lord has kept you through minus forty degrees and through many losses, and he is able to keep you still. Cast your cares on him, stay in the word, stay in fellowship where you can, labor faithfully at the work he has given, and keep praying without ceasing.

We thank God for this band aid of provision and ask that he will use it for your good and for his purposes, whether it continues after Thanksgiving or leads to another phase. We stand with you in asking God to intervene in the way that is best, to do what you cannot do, and to be glorified in your family.

May the Lord grant you peace, perseverance, and provision, and may he in his mercy work toward healing and reconciliation according to his perfect will.

We will continue to pray for you, for your wife, and for your children.
