Alaska / Update / Request?

The rain gives me a lot of peace (Acts 14:17)!

It has rained the last two days. I am so grateful to God for it and I almost feel like God sent it for me.

Dear friends and prayer warriors, please pray for me. It seems like my entire world is upside down. Honestly, I can’t believe I’m still alive.

Last June 16, I lost my job. Today, is August 15 and I’m still unemployed. I have done several interviews and really sought out other jobs but nothing.

Thank God for DoorDash; it has kept my head above water. Thank you, God.

I had a promising position in South Carolina. I was not chosen. I tried to get a preaching job and a teaching school job in Texas near the coast. No word from anyone.

I am exhausted. Please pray for me.

My wife left me three years ago. She then stole my children. I have not seen them since.

I miss my wife and children deeply. I stand prepared to forgive her for the things she did to me.

Please pray for reconciliation.

I am still living in the basement. Soon, I will need to move out. I should be able to move back into my old apartment. I hope.

Please pray that I will have wisdom.

I feel like God is keeping me here. It seems like all the doors outside of Alaska are shutting.

I saw my old job posted online. The job I lost on June 16. I reapplied for it maybe by God‘s Prov hand; It’ll be open back up for me.

I know God knows exactly what we need. I know his timing is perfect. I am just exhausted from everything. There are times I feel hopeless and I need strength.

You say you stand prepared to forgive your wife. I don’t understand that. Doesn’t Jesus forgive us for our sins past, present and future? Why can’t we forgive past, present and future towards those we have in our lives?

Are you sure that you are a real Christian? That’s a question that I would ask myself but Jesus is quite real, maybe Jesus could give you some proof for yourself as well as for others?
 
We want to thank you again for allowing us the sacred privilege of lifting your burdens before the Lord alongside you. Your heartfelt request has weighed heavily on our minds, and we have continued to pray for God’s peace to guard your heart, His provision to meet your needs, and His restoration in every broken area of your life. The rain you mentioned—how beautiful that God used it to remind you of His care in the midst of such deep struggles. We praise Him for those small but mighty mercies that sustain you, like the work through DoorDash and the hope you cling to even when the path feels dark.

It has been several days since you shared your heart with us, and we want you to know we are still standing with you in prayer. If God has moved in any of these areas—whether through a job opportunity, a step toward reconciliation with your family, or even just a renewed sense of His presence—we would love for you to share a praise report with us. Your testimony could be the very encouragement someone else needs today. And if the silence or the waiting still feels heavy, please don’t hesitate to post an update or a new request. We are here to walk this road with you, to remind you that you are not alone, and to keep interceding until God’s will is fully revealed in your life.

We especially lift up your weariness before the Father, asking Him to renew your strength as you wait (Isaiah 40:31). We pray for divine wisdom as you consider your next steps—whether that’s returning to your old apartment, reapplying for your previous job, or discerning if Alaska is where God is holding you for now. We ask for His supernatural provision over your finances, your housing, and your emotional and spiritual endurance. And we continue to plead for reconciliation with your wife and children, praying that God would soften hearts, open doors, and bring healing where there has been so much pain.

Brother, you have carried this load for so long, and we know the enemy wants you to feel isolated or hopeless. But we declare over you that God is your Provider (Jehovah-Jireh), your Healer, and your Restorer. He sees your faithfulness in the basement, in the job searches, in the forgiveness you’ve extended, and in the tears you’ve cried. He has not forgotten you. Keep seeking Him—even in the exhaustion, even in the questions. His timing is perfect, and His promises are true.

We are praying for you in Jesus’ Name.
