There is power in prayer (James 5:15)!

The Bible teaches us to pray. So, I am here, requesting prayers.

In August 2022, while I was 5000 miles away, my wife hired an attorney and went to court claiming I stole my sons and took them across state lines to Texas. She was given permission to go get them. I have not seen them since.

After many many prayers, God opened the door for me to move back to Alaska in August 2024. I moved back to Alaska trusting him fully. I was confident that he would provide for me so, I moved back with just a job. I had no place to live in no car to drive.

I’ve been back in Alaska now since then, and I have suffered in every way possible. I lost my teaching job due to no fault of my own. Later, I lost a job as laboratory manager due to no fault of my own. I was so disgusted by it all.

So, since June 21, 2025, I’ve been doing gig work. I lost my job that day. So I did give work every day or almost every day trying to keep my head above water. But then, I started having car issues. So, I rented a vehicle from November to February. I was having my van fixed.

In Alaska, my real cars go to approximately $150 a day in the summer. They also go that high during the month of late February through March. I could not afford nor will I be able to afford the rental car after June 5.

So I am praying fervently to God. I am asking God to help me find a really good job. However, I do not have a van now because it broke so even if I had a good job, how would I get to work? I’m asking God to help me.

I’ve been sick since March 25. I mean really sick. I feel so much like Job thankfully, the last few days I’ve started to feel better, I think I’m about 95% now so, I go out to work but doing gig work is just not the same right now due to the change in seasons I think. More people are out trying to work, which makes it harder to make what I need to make.

I’m doing the best I can.

I’m not a perfect man, but I’ve always been a forgiving man. My wife did some horrible things to me. I stand prepared to forgive her. I keep asking God to restore my marriage & my family.

I’m tired of suffering. I’m tired of everything. I lost interest in living. I’m not suicidal, but I have plenty with God just to take my life. Exchange my life for another. Just take me and let someone else come back. Again, I’m not suicidal. I’m just telling you that I want to be with the Lord. I’m exhausted.

Please pray for me.
 
Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.

Be a Prayer Warrior: “Praying for others”
 
We stand with you in this season of deep trial, lifting your burdens before the throne of grace. Your story echoes the suffering of Job, yet like him, you have not cursed God but have clung to Him in faith. We see your heart—bruised but not broken, weary but still trusting. The Lord hears the cries of His children, and He is near to the brokenhearted.

First, we must address the weight of your marriage and family. Scripture is clear that marriage is a covenant before God, a sacred bond between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6). The pain your wife has caused you is grievous, and the separation from your sons is a wound no father should bear. Yet we are called to forgive as Christ forgave us (Colossians 3:13), and your willingness to extend grace is a testament to your faith. But forgiveness does not mean ignoring sin or enabling harm. We pray for truth and justice to prevail, for God to expose deception and restore what has been broken. If reconciliation is His will, it must be built on repentance, humility, and a return to godly principles. If not, we trust Him to be your Defender and Provider.

Your financial and physical struggles are heavy, but the Lord has not abandoned you. He promises to supply every need according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). The loss of your jobs, the car troubles, and your illness have pushed you to the edge, yet even here, God is working. The book of James reminds us to count it all joy when we face trials, for they produce endurance (James 1:2-4). This is not to dismiss your pain but to point you to the purpose in it. You are being refined like gold, and though the fire is hot, the result will be a faith more precious than silver.

We rebuke the spirit of despair that whispers you are alone. You are not. The Lord is your Shepherd, and He has not forgotten you (Psalm 23). We rebuke the lies that say your suffering is without meaning or that God has turned His face from you. He is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We declare that your season of lack is ending. The same God who opened the door for you to return to Alaska will open doors of provision and restoration. He will make a way where there seems to be no way.

We also lift up your desire to be with the Lord. While we understand the exhaustion of this life, we must remind you that your days are ordained by Him (Psalm 139:16). He has purpose for you here, even when it is hard to see. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). Your life is not your own—it was bought with a price (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). We pray for renewed strength, for joy to return, and for the hope of Christ to anchor your soul.

Now, we pray:

Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother, lifting his every burden to Your feet. Lord, You see his heart—his pain, his weariness, his longing for restoration. We ask that You would move mightily in his life. Provide for him a stable job, one that not only meets his needs but also honors You. Give him favor with employers and open doors that no man can shut. Lord, we ask for a reliable vehicle, a means of transportation that will carry him faithfully to work and back. Heal his body completely, restoring his strength and vitality.

Father, we pray for his marriage and his sons. If it is Your will, soften his wife’s heart, bring repentance, and restore their family. If not, give him peace and the wisdom to navigate this season with grace. Protect his sons from the lies of the enemy and draw them close to You. Surround him with godly community—believers who will stand with him, encourage him, and remind him of Your promises.

Lord, we rebuke the spirit of despair and speak life over him. Renew his hope, restore his joy, and fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Remind him that You are his Provider, his Healer, and his Strength. Let him feel Your presence in tangible ways, knowing that You have not forgotten him.

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, who endured the cross for the joy set before Him. May our brother fix his eyes on Jesus, the One who sustains him. Amen.
 
Dear friend, we're here with you, lifting your burdens to the Lord. Your situation is tough, but we see your faith shining through. We're praying for you:

1. **Job and Vehicle**: We're asking God to open doors for a stable job that honors Him, and to provide a reliable vehicle for you. We believe He will make a way, just as He did when you moved back to Alaska.

2. **Health**: We're interceding for your health, asking God to heal and strengthen you completely. We declare that you will have more energy and vitality.

3. **Family**: We're praying for your marriage and sons. We ask God to soften hearts, bring repentance if it's His will, and restore your family. We also ask for wisdom and grace for you to navigate this season.

4. **Hope and Joy**: We're rebuking despair and speaking life over you. We ask God to renew your hope, restore your joy, and fill you with His peace.

We're praying all these in Jesus' mighty name. Keep your eyes fixed on Him, for He is your Strength and Sustain. You're not alone; we're standing with you.
