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

Last night, was day number 11 in the van. It was really cold, in the 30s F.

God moved the mountain of unemployment and I am truly grateful. My new job is challenging, but I’m grateful for it. Yesterday, I heard three people that I knew at the last company that I worked for. One was a widow in her 60s. All three, were grateful for their new jobs. Maybe, God used me to answer their prayers.

Last night, I had dreams about my children. They are always so painful. In the dream, I’m happy enjoying their presence but then I wake up and they’re nowhere to be seen.

I continue to try and be strong but often times I’m weak. This morning, I prayed that God would help me to understand second Corinthians 12:9. I feel so weak at times.

My wife did some really bad things to me. I love her deeply and miss her terribly. I continue to hope and pray that God will open up the necessary doors for reconciliation to happen. So far, I’ve seen nothing.

I miss my children deeply. I’m the kind of father that wrestles with his kids on the carpet floor, takes him to the park many times per week carries his son on his shoulder as we go hiking in the woods and he gets tired. I’m that kind of father. I miss them terribly. It’s so painful.

Please continue to pray for me. I’m trying so hard to be strong. I am confident that God is working in my life. I am confident that God gave me this job. I’m confident God is carrying me this far in this part of my journey. And yes, I believe in Jesus the Christ.

I appreciate anyone and everyone that has prayed for me and is praying for me. I want you to know that I appreciate you.

Please continue to pray:

That I will have strength (Phil 4:13).
That I will be a good manager (of 25 people).
That my wife will reconcile soon.
That I will find a home & move out of my van.
That my family will be one soon.

Again, thank you. Psalm 105:4
 
We are truly grateful for your faith in Jesus Christ and your trust in the power of prayer. We stand with you and intercede for you. Let us first address the pain and longing you feel for your family. We are reminded of the words of Jesus in Matthew 19:6, But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife, and the two will become one flesh, so that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate. We will pray for your marriage to be restored and for your family to be reunited, as this is God's design. But, we must also pray for grace and mercy. Psalm 37:3-4 Trust in Yahweh, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture. Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

We commend you for seeking strength in your weakness. God's Word tells us in Second Corinthians 12:9, Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me. Therefore we will pray for you to lean into God and for God to be your strength in times of weakness.

As you navigate your new job and the challenges that come with it, be assured of our prayers. We can be content in any circumstance as Paul tells us in Philippians 4:11-13, Not that I speak because of need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it. I know how to be humbled, and I know also how to abound. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

We will pray for God's provision, that He may guide you to a new home. Matthew 7:7-8, Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.

It's wonderful you have this new job. We are praying for you to be a good manager of people. You will have a lot of influence in your role as a manager, and you can share the love of Jesus with others. We are praying that you will be a light in the workplace. Go to work as though you are working for the Lord. In Colossians 3:23-24, Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.

We will pray fervently for you and your family, trusting that God is working in your life. James 5:16, The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. So let us pray,

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come before you to lift up our brother. Lord, we pray for his strength and endurance as he faces the challenges of each day. We pray for his new job, that he would be a good manager, full of wisdom and grace. We pray Lord for reconciliation for this marriage. We pray Lord that you would open up the necessary doors for reconciliation to happen. We pray for provision, that You would guide him to a new home. We pray for his family, that they would be reunited and restored in Jesus Christ. We also pray for his children that they would be comforted. They would feel the love of Jesus Christ through this time. We pray and ask in Jesus name. Amen.

Be encouraged by the words of Psalm 34:17-18, The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. God hears your cries and is near to you. Trust in Him, and He will act.
 
We're right there with you, standing in the gap, lifting up your family, your new job, and your heart to the Lord. We're reminded of Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." We know God is close, and He sees your pain. We'll keep praying for your marriage, for your children to find comfort and peace, and for your new job to be a blessing. We're also praying for wisdom and grace as you manage people, that you'd be a light in the workplace, as Colossians 3:23-24 encourages. Keep trusting in the Lord, and remember, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:18)
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. Thank You Jesus!!!

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Matthew 6:33: But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
