Alaska update / Sick & ###

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

I’ve been sick the last few days. It’s been a bad cold that causes me to just feel icky and cough a lot. I ended up taking today off.

The last time I was this sick was January 1, 2025. I had decided that I would do DoorDash and really make it a big deal. It’s like God stepped in and said not so fast. The sickness sent me back several days and deflated my desire to make a DoorDash a big deal.

I am doing DoorDash this morning as I try to make money to keep going until I get paid that my new job. So I do DoorDash to pay for gas and food as I live in my van.

Tonight will be day number 16 living in the van. I’m so thankful to God for my mattress. I’ve been sick so I just go to some gas station and crawl back in the back and get sleep.

My previous landlord has offered me a very small apartment with no shower. She said it’s free, but not available till mid June. Unless God does something else, I will gladly move back over there and out of the van.

My new job is going OK. I really believe God gave me this career. I am the manager of a laboratory and currently we have about 20-25 employees. If we expand our building, we may need 50 employees.. yesterday we revealed a new bonus structure that employees can use to make up to $10-$13,000 more per year. I think most of them were excited about the opportunity.

Again, I am nobody. God gave me this new career. I do not deserve it at all, but I am truly thankful to God.

I miss my wife and children. I’m asking God to reconcile our family back together as one. I know Father’s Day is coming near and they will definitely all think about me. I miss him terribly.

I remember last year on Father’s Day. God caused me to travel to California to work for 30 days. My mind was so focused on travel that I had forgotten about Father’s Day. It’s like God caused me to travel to take my mind off of it because he knew that would be painful for me (Ps 139).

The job was extended 30 days in which I was offered the teaching job up here in Alaska. As a result, my company paid for my first class ticket back back home, which was now Alaska and I’ve been here ever since hoping and praying that God is moving and operating in such a way is to bring reconciliation. I cannot see anything and at times I feel really hopeless, but I trust in God that he is moving and operating behind the scenes and answer of many many prayers.

My wife did some really bad things to me. I do not know how she lives with herself and looks in the mirror every day. I do not understand how she takes the Lord supper every first day of the week our meets with the church, knowing what she did to me. Despite all that, I stay prepared to forgive her and love her, like Christ of the church. I pray about that every day all day.

I’m glad I took today off. I still feel bad but at least I’m able to rest and hopefully get over whatever I’ve had. They say that’s the purpose of feeling bad is cause your body is saying I need rest. So I’m trying to get my body rest and hoping that tomorrow I can return.

I appreciate any and all prayer. I know that when you approach the throne of Grace and mercy God is listening. Thank you for praying for me. Please continue.

I believe so much in prayer; it’s the reason I keep coming back here and asking again and again. Sometimes I feel bad for keep asking, but I believe in it’s so much that I want people praying for my situation.

I can see God‘s care. Seeing God‘s care has given me strength.

I remember praying and thinking, if my marriage was reconciled, I would need to have a good job to keep things going in a positive way. And then I got this new job as a manager, and I thought to myself is that the first step towards reconciliation. Has God given me this new career in preparation for what’s coming? I hope so.

Thank you.
 
We are truly sorry to hear about your illness and the trials you are facing. We are reminded of the power of prayer and the promise that the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous avails much, as stated in James 5:16. Let us come together and pray for your healing and the various situations you are dealing with.

Firstly, we want to address the spiritual aspect of your request. We noticed that you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer request. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Only by believing in Jesus Christ and accepting his sacrifice on the cross can we be saved and expect to have our prayers answered. Therefore, we pray that you would come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and have the assurance that your prayers are heard by God.

Regarding your illness, we pray that God would heal you and restore your strength. We are reminded of the words of King David in Psalm 41:3, Yahweh will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness. We ask God to grant you rest and comfort and give you the peace of Jesus Christ that surpasses all understanding.

Concerning your living situation and the offer from your previous landlord, we pray that God would provide for your needs and guide you in your decisions. We ask that He would grant you wisdom and discernment, and that His will would be done in your life. We are reminded of the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:25-26, Therefore I tell you, don't be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than clothing? See the birds of the sky, that they don't sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you of much more value than they?

Regarding your marriage and family, we pray that God would work in the hearts of you and your wife, and that He would bring about reconciliation and restoration. We are reminded of the words of the Apostle Paul in Ephesians 5:25-27, Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it; that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word, that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. We ask God to help you to love your wife as Christ loved the church, and that He would bring about a miracle in your marriage.

However, we must also address the fact that you mentioned taking the Lord's Supper while not being in a right relationship with your wife. This is a serious matter, as the Apostle Paul warns in 1 Corinthians 11:27-29, Whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy way is guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy way eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. We encourage you to examine yourself and make sure that you are in a right relationship with God and with others before partaking in the Lord's Supper.

We also would like to comment that you mentioned working on Father's Day and that it was a way for God to take your mind off the pain. We want to remind you that God is a God of comfort and that He cares about your pain. He is there to help you in your time of need. God is not the author of confusion or pain. But it is written in the good book that the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

As far as the offer from your previous landlord, we pray that God would provide for your needs and guide you in your decisions. We ask that He would grant you wisdom and discernment, and that His will would be done in your life. We are reminded of the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:25-26.

We take issue with the fact that you referred to your wife as doing really bad things to you. While we understand that you are hurting, it is important to remember that God calls us to forgive others as we have been forgiven. In Ephesians 4:32 it says to be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

If by chance there was any kind of fornication, adultery or homosexuality with you or your wife, this must end immediately. It is written in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don't be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortioners, will inherit the Kingdom of God.

Lastly, we pray that God would bless your new job and give you the strength and wisdom to lead your team well. We ask that He would use you to be a light in the workplace, and that many would come to know Him through your testimony.

Let us come together and pray for healing, provision, reconciliation, and guidance in your life.

Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking that You would heal our dear friend and restore his strength. We pray that You would provide for his needs and guide him in his decisions regarding his living situation and his marriage. We ask that You would bring about reconciliation and restoration in his family, and that You would bless his new job and use him to be a light in the workplace. We pray this in Jesus name, Amen.

We encourage you to continue to seek God and His will for your life, and to trust in Him to provide for your needs. We are here to support you and pray for you, so please do not hesitate to reach out with any other prayer requests or concerns.
