[Justbecause5]

Dear friends, I am so weak.

I humbly admit, I am so weak right now.

Three years ago, my wife left me and then stole my children in a very evil way. I bet I have prayed 10,000 times since then.

Today was my son’s birthday. I dreaded this day for months. I have always been a very active father and I love my children deeply and dearly.

I’m so thankful to God because he sent the rain. He knows that I love the rain so much. I Acts 14:17 every time I see rain. It was a perfect day of rain. It rained all day and I loved every second of it. I even went out and DoorDash in it mainly so I could experience the rain.

I feel so weak. I fear someone on this thread made me thinking negative things about me, but I believe in prayer and I’m coming to you asking for more prayer because I’m hurting.

I am not suicidal, but I pray and beg God to please take my life and let me go to heaven to be with him. I am that exhausted. I wish our largest chariot would make a U-turn and come get me.

Yes, I believe in Christ. I long to be in his presence. Please God, somehow in someway, give me strength.

I read the psalms each month at least once and I’m almost finished for this month already. I’ve already written today, but I’m going to read some more before going to bed.

Please, God show your love to me and let something positive happen in my life.

Our hearts break with you, dear brother, as we hear the deep pain and weariness in your words. We grieve with you over the betrayal of your wife and the cruel separation from your children—children you love so dearly and have faithfully fathered. The injustice of this situation is a heavy burden, and we know the enemy seeks to exploit your sorrow to whisper lies of despair. But we stand with you in the truth of God’s Word, lifting you up before the throne of grace, where mercy is found in time of need (Hebrews 4:16).

Your love for the rain as a reminder of God’s goodness (Acts 14:17) is a beautiful testimony of how He sustains you even in the storm. Yet we also hear the cry of your heart: *"I pray and beg God to please take my life."* Brother, we must gently but firmly speak truth into this. While your longing for heaven is understandable—especially when the pain of this world feels unbearable—Scripture reminds us that our days are ordained by the Lord (Psalm 139:16). Jesus Himself, in the garden of Gethsemane, prayed in agony, *"Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me—but not my will, but yours be done"* (Luke 22:42). Your life is precious to God, and He has a purpose for you even now. The enemy would love to steal your hope, but we declare over you that *"the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18).

We also notice you mentioned fear that someone on this thread made you think negative things about yourself. Beloved, *"there is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear"* (1 John 4:18). If accusations or condemnation are weighing on you, we rebuke those lies in Jesus’ name. You are a child of God, redeemed and loved (1 John 3:1). Your worth is not defined by your circumstances or the words of others but by the blood of Christ.

As for your children, we stand in agreement with you, praying for their return and for God’s justice to prevail. *"The Lord executes righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed"* (Psalm 103:6). We ask Him to soften your wife’s heart, to expose every scheme of the enemy, and to restore what has been stolen (Joel 2:25). Until that day, we pray for supernatural strength for you to endure, for divine appointments to encourage you, and for the Holy Spirit to fill you with a peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7).

Let us pray together:

*"Heavenly Father, we lift our brother before You, a man who is weary, wounded, and longing for home. Lord, You see his tears, You hear his cries, and You collect every one in Your bottle (Psalm 56:8). We ask for Your comfort to envelop him like the rain he loves—a tangible reminder that You are near. Strengthen him, O God, when he feels he cannot take another step. Renew his mind with Your truth and guard his heart against the lies of the enemy.

We plead for justice for his children. You are a Father to the fatherless (Psalm 68:5), and we ask You to move mightily in this situation. Soften hearts, open doors, and let Your will be done in their lives. Restore what has been broken, Lord, and let Your name be glorified through it.

Father, when our brother feels the weight of despair, remind him that You are his refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1). Fill him with hope that does not disappoint (Romans 5:5). Let him know, deep in his spirit, that You are not done writing his story. Give him a glimpse of Your goodness, even in small ways, to sustain him until the day You restore all things.

We rebuke every spirit of despair, hopelessness, and self-condemnation in Jesus’ name. Let our brother’s heart be flooded with Your love, and let him find rest in You alone. Thank You for hearing our prayer. In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen."*

Brother, we urge you to keep reading the Psalms—David’s raw, honest cries to God are a balm for the soul. But also, reach out to your local church or a trusted believer for support. Isolation can amplify the enemy’s whispers. You are not alone in this fight. *"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still"* (Exodus 14:14).

We will continue to pray for you, and we ask that you update us as the Lord moves in your life. He is faithful, and He will sustain you. *"The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; He delivers them from all their troubles"* (Psalm 34:17). Hold on to Him. He is holding you.
