There is power in prayer (James 5:16).
My job in ### was complete in the summer of 2022. I had secured a teaching position in my home state of ###.
My wife and daughter were headed overseas in mid September 2022 to visit family. I took my two young sons to ###. My goal was to set up our new home, start the new job, etc.
After I left ###, my wife hired an attorney and went to court. She and her attorney convinced the judge that I had stolen the boys and taking them across state lines. There was no mention of oversea tickets and job being completed, etc.. I was 5000 miles away taken care of my sons and trying to start a new job.
In mid September 2022, it was a beautiful day because it was finally payday. My sons and I had suffered greatly trying to make it till payday. A few times, we almost had to sleep in my science room because we didn’t have enough money God provided.
It was payday and I was so excited. I could not wait for the day to be over. My youngest son wanted a pair of sunglasses. We were gonna go out to eat and just have a great night.
I was in my room during my conference period when the principal and HR lady came to my room and told me my wife had came and taken the boys. It was one of the saddest days of my life. I immediately broke out in tears, crying like a baby.
I love my children with all my heart. Just thinking about that episode brings tears to my eyes. I love them so much and I miss them so much.
I pleaded with God to reconcile my family. I pleaded with God to take me back to ###. In the summer of 2024, God answered my prayers. He paved the way for me to move back to ###. He gave me a teaching and coaching job. However, I had no place to live and no car to drive.
I flew to ### on August 19, 2024. I quoted we walked by faith and not by sight probably 500 times. My plane landed at 12:15 AM and I got my bags and sat next to the wall. I had no home to go to. I had no car to drive.
It is now been over 20 months here in ###. I have gone through some terrible ups and downs, mainly downs. I almost died on the mountain top and -30° weather. That’s an incredible story where two women just happened to be at the bottom of the hill and they helped me; otherwise I would be dead.
I lost my teaching job due to no fault of my own. Later, I got a job at a lab that ended suddenly despite faithful efforts. I was so disheartened by losing the jobs because a good job is stability. A lack of stability adds so many negatives to one’s life.
All this time, I have dealt with deep deep sadness and depression. Every holiday. Every birthday. Every memory. I dealt with deep sadness and shed many many tears. Many times I felt incredibly hopeless. Many times, I pray God would take my life and give it to another. Let someone else come back who had died tragically and I’ll take their place. I was never suicidal, but I’d hoped that God would do something. Many times I imagined a chariot descending from the heavens to get me.
I can honestly say I have suffered a lot like Job. It’s weird to say that, but I have. I can honestly say that my love for God is stronger than it’s ever been. I can honestly say that my faith is stronger than it’s ever been. It’s weird how I can say that honestly, considering everything I’ve been through.
I lost my last real job on June 16, 2025. Immediately I started doing gig work full-time however, I started having car issues. I had three blowouts in six weeks. Then I started having a horrible sound in my front end. In November, my van broke and it sat at the McDonald’s parking lot for 10 days. I started renting a car.
I rented a car from November till late February. Finally, the price has started to go up to high, and I could not afford to rent a car. Thankfully, my van was repaired, and I used it until it broke again. Then one day, my van was towed out of the apartment complex complex. I think the apartment complex to it so they could clean the parking lot.
So many different things have happened to me that have just tore me down to nothing. I know God has ever present and he’s fully aware of my situation.
I was taking a nap this afternoon and I received a knock at the door. I’ve been behind on my rent but making payments. I had hoped that they might compensate me for the fact, they told my van. The owner of the apartment complex was very rude to me and mean. It was like a mafia boss trying to get money.
I tried to explain to him everything that had happened at the apartment. I sent a payment on May 3, but it was not taken out until May 20. He had gone back and looked at the history, but was unaware of every single detail I was so frustrated my slam my palm on the door.
I don’t think it’s right for a landlord to approach a tenant at his door while I’m standing in my underwear like that. I was so frustrated. The fact is I have nowhere to go.
I’m asking for prayers.
Today is May 23, 2026. On June 6, 2026, rental car prices go up to $100 a day. So, on June 5, 2026 I will turn in my car and move out of my apartment. What will I do?
I can’t imagine there’s a person on earth that prays more than I do. I pray fervently all the time. God, I need your help.
I believe God opens up doors. Right now, there is no open door for me on June 5, I will be homeless, carless and jobless. I can’t do gig work without a vehicle.
I know God has the answer.
I’m about to go to work right now and I’ll be spending a lot of time in prayer.
Of course, in my heart of hearts, I wish my wife would repent of what she’s done. If she did, I would instantly have a place to live in a car to drive. I can only imagine.
I bet I have prayed for my wife while over 1 million times. In someway or another. I have played it with God for reconciliation.
I’ve always been a forgiving man. I stand prepared to forgive my wife for what she’s done. I stand prepared to forgive her and love her like Jesus love the church.
I’m a peaceful type person. I don’t like to raise my voice, but sometimes I do if I get excited. The Landlord standing at my door while I’m standing there in my underwear half awake and he’s yelling at me.
God, please help me
I need a way out God. I need an open door. Please God make away when there is no way.
