Alaska update / Monday ###.###.##

[Justbecause5]

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

Thank you for praying for me.

Yes, I am a Christian. I have served God most of my adult life. I obey the gospel on July 5, 1979.

Background:

In 2019, my family and I moved to Alaska to begin working with the church. I had a three-year contract. In August 2022, my contract was complete and I had secured a teaching job in Texas.

My wife had purchased tickets for her and my daughter to go overseas to visit family. So, my young sons and I flew to Texas to begin my new job and set up our new home.

After I left Alaska, my wife hired an attorney and together they went to court and convinced the judge that I had stolen the boys and took them across state lines. I was 5000 miles away and knew nothing about what was going on.

My wife canceled her trip overseas. Of course, none of that was mentioned in court. A sister in Christ and my wife flew to Texas and took my sons while I was teaching class. It was one of the saddest days of my life.

The principal gave me permission to go to my dad‘s house. I cried all the way there nearly 250 miles almost had several accidents driving in the wrong lane. I was so deeply sad and hurt.

I pleaded with God to take me back to Alaska. Finally, in August 2019, God provided a way back to Alaska. I was given a teaching and coaching job. However, I had no place to live in no car to drive. I went back to Alaska walking by faith and not by sight.

The next 15 months in Alaska was incredibly difficult. I lost multiple jobs due to no fault of my own. I lived in the shelter 4.5 months and in the back of my van for 28 nights and then in a roach infested basement for 4.5 months.. Despite those obstacles, my love for God grew and my love for Christ and my faith increased.

I’ve probably prayed for my wife 1 million times if not more. I have asked so many people to pray for my family and my situation but so far there is no sign of anything.

I’ve been on this thread many many times asking for prayers because of the pain is just so overwhelming at times. I am not suicidal, but I have often pray that God would take my life. I have often pray that God would send a large chariot to pick me up and take me home.

I know my tears are kept in a bottle, etc., but that doesn’t help me. If so, God has a whole warehouse full of tears with my name on the jars. I’m tired of having my tears collected, please stop the tears. Please God do something to help me.

I love God in Christ with all my heart. God has done some amazing things in my life. As the holidays continue, it’s very difficult. I see little kids and I get really sad because I’ve always been the kind of father that wanted to make holidays and birthday special. Now, I’m on the outside looking in.

Please pray for me:

I need strength
Family reconciliation
Marital reconciliation
A great consistent job
A comfortable place to live

I read the psalms at least once a month and they give me hope and strength. I pray without ceasing all day long. I meditate on God in his word all day long.

But dear friends, I am exhausted.

I lost my last job on June 16. I’ve been doing gig work since then and thank God I have learned how to use it to my advantage. Very good for me. I’m so thankful to God.

I love seeing moose and they give me internal strength. I’ve seen four moose in the last 10 days. Each time I see them I get so much strength.

Please pray 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 weight of separation from your sons and the betrayal of your marriage is a burden no man should have to bear alone. Yet we stand with you, united in Christ, to intercede on your behalf and remind you that you are not forgotten—neither by God nor by His people.

First, we must rebuke the lies of the enemy that seek to convince you that your prayers are unheard or that God has abandoned you. The Scriptures declare, *"The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry"* (Psalm 34:15). Your tears are not stored in vain; they are precious to the Lord, who collects them in His bottle (Psalm 56:8). But more than that, He promises to wipe them away (Revelation 21:4). The warehouse of tears you speak of is not a monument to your sorrow—it is evidence of a God who sees, who cares, and who will one day bring justice and restoration. Do not despise the Lord’s compassion in collecting them, for it is a sign of His nearness, not His neglect.

Your wife’s actions—securing an attorney, deceiving the court, and taking your sons without your knowledge—are grievous sins against you, against your marriage covenant, and against God’s design for family. We rebuke the spirit of deception and division that has infiltrated your home, and we pray for conviction to fall upon her heart. The Bible is clear: *"If a man divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, he makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery"* (Matthew 5:32). If there has been no biblical grounds for divorce, then reconciliation is not only possible but commanded (1 Corinthians 7:10-11). We pray for your wife to repent, for the scales to fall from her eyes, and for her to remember the vows she made before God. But even if she does not, we pray that you would be released from bitterness, for *"if it is possible, as much as it depends on you, live peaceably with all men"* (Romans 12:18).

We also rebuke the injustice of the court’s ruling. The Lord hates *"hands that shed innocent blood"* (Proverbs 6:17) and *"a false witness who utters lies"* (Proverbs 6:19). We pray for the exposure of any falsehoods presented in court and for the Lord to overturn this unrighteous judgment. The psalmist declares, *"He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday"* (Psalm 37:6). Trust that the God who parted the Red Sea is more than able to part the legal barriers standing between you and your sons.

Your longing to be with your children, especially during the holidays, is a godly desire. The enemy seeks to isolate you in your pain, but we declare that you are not alone. Jesus Himself was a *"man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief"* (Isaiah 53:3), and He understands the ache of separation. Yet He also promises, *"I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you"* (John 14:18). Even now, He is with you in the shelter, in the van, in the roach-infested basement, and in the gig work that sustains you. The moose you see are not random—they are reminders from your Father that He provides for the wild animals (Matthew 6:26) and will surely provide for you.

We pray now, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12) and the only name by which we approach the Father (John 14:6):

Father God, we come before You with hearts broken for our brother. You see his tears, You hear his cries, and You know the depths of his pain. Lord, we ask that You would strengthen him with Your might through Your Spirit in his inner man (Ephesians 3:16). When he is weak, be his strength (2 Corinthians 12:9). When he is weary, renew him like the eagle (Isaiah 40:31). When he is tempted to despair, remind him that You are near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18).

We pray for his family—beginning with his wife. Soften her heart, Lord. Convict her of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8). If there is hardness, break it. If there is deception, expose it. If there is unforgiveness, replace it with Your love. We ask for reconciliation, not for the sake of convenience, but for the glory of Your name and the testimony of Your power to restore what was broken.

For his sons, we pray protection over their hearts and minds. Guard them from bitterness, from confusion, and from the lies of the enemy. Draw them to Yourself, Lord, and let them see You in their father’s life. We ask for divine appointments—moments where You would open doors for our brother to speak truth, to show love, and to be the father You’ve called him to be.

We pray for his provision. You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides (Genesis 22:14). Open doors for a consistent, well-paying job that will allow him to provide for his needs and the needs of his children. Lead him to a comfortable home, a place of rest and refuge where he can heal and prepare for the restoration You have promised.

We rebuke the spirit of weariness and exhaustion. Lord, Your Word says that those who wait on You shall renew their strength (Isaiah 40:31). Teach our brother to wait on You, not in passive resignation, but in active trust. Let him see that even in the waiting, You are working.

Finally, we pray for his heart. When the holidays come and the ache is deep, remind him that You are the Father to the fatherless (Psalm 68:5). When he sees other families together, let him remember that he is part of a greater family—the family of God (Ephesians 2:19). And when the enemy whispers that he is forgotten, let him declare with the psalmist, *"Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him, the help of my countenance and my God"* (Psalm 42:11).

We stand on the promise that *"the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). We declare that this season of suffering will not be wasted. God will use it to refine our brother, to strengthen his faith, and to prepare him for the restoration He has in store. We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer, and we trust You to move mightily on his behalf. In the powerful, matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Brother, do not lose heart. The same God who led you back to Alaska, who sustained you in the shelter and the van, and who has given you favor in gig work is the same God who parted the Red Sea and raised Jesus from the dead. He is not done with your story. Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep your eyes on Him. The psalms you read are not just words—they are promises. And the God who inspired them is faithful to fulfill them.

You are loved. You are seen. And you are not forgotten.

Dear friend,

We've been praying for you, and we want you to know that you're not alone. Your pain is real, and we're here to lift you up. Here's what we're asking God for:

1. **Strength and Endurance**: We pray that God would fill you with His strength and help you endure these difficult times. Like the Israelites who saw God's provision in the form of manna, we pray that you would see God's provision in your daily needs (Exodus 16:1-36).

2. **Reconciliation**: We're asking God to soften your wife's heart and bring about reconciliation in your marriage and with your sons. We pray that your family would be restored according to God's design.

3. **Provision**: We lift up your financial situation to God. We ask Him to provide for your needs, to open doors for a consistent job, and to lead you to a comfortable place to live.

4. **Peace and Comfort**: We pray that God would give you peace and comfort during this holiday season. We ask that He would remind you of His love for you, even in the midst of your pain.

5. **Hope**: We declare that God is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We pray that you would find hope in Him and trust in His promises.

We're here for you, and we'll continue to lift you up in prayer. You're loved, you're seen, and you're not forgotten. Keep trusting in God, and remember that He is working even when you can't see it.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
