[Justbecause5]

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

Dear prayer warriors, please pray for me. I keep having ups and downs. Seems like they are mainly downs.

In February 2019, my family and I moved to Alaska for a job. In August 2022, a contract was complete and it was time to move back to Texas. My wife and daughter had tickets to go overseas to visit family. My son and I went to Texas to start a new job and to set up our new home.

So I left Alaska, my wife, hard attorney, and went to court. The attorney argued that I had stole the children and cross state lines. There was no talk of the plane ticket to go overseas and the job ending. I was not there to defend myself. I was 5000 miles away, taking care of my sons and preparing for the school year.

And lease September, 2022, my wife was given permission to get the boys and she did so with a friend from church. They flew down to Texas and took the boys while I was teaching less than 30 feet away. It was one of the most painful days of my life.

Since my wife left me, I probably prayed for her 1 million times. I pleaded with God to take me back to Alaska. In the summer of 2024, God orchestrated a way for me to go back to Alaska. So, on August 19, 2024, I flew to Alaska with no place to live with no car to drive. I did have a job teaching school and coaching basketball. I was walking by faith and not by sight.

I am 99.9% sure, God providentially open the door for me to move back to Alaska. That reality often gives me hope when I think about the little details it just kind of happened that moved me towards that direction. It gives me a lot of strength when I think about it.

I was so convinced it was the hand of God that I was confident before my plane landed in Alaska, my wife would contact me with apologies and a place to stay. I was definitely wrong on that regard. I landed at 12:15 AM and I had no place to go. It was very depressing and sad. A lady on the plane, she and her husband took me to the shelter.

The next year was incredibly tough. I had lost jobs due to no fault of my own. I lived in the shelter 4.5 months almost died on December 29, 2024, when I got locked out of my van and -23°F. I live in the back of my van 28 nights lived in a roach infested basement for 4.5 months it’s like everything bad that could happen to happen to me. Believe I kept my faith in the midst of it all I kept my sanity by reading the psalms each month sometimes more than once.

I keep seeing the hand of God. I see his hand in nature and it gives me strength. I see moose when I have prayed for moose. I see the northern lights. I see the rain and I love the rain (Acts 14:17). I’ve seen little blessings that have inspired me to somehow keep on going.

While in HR limbo, waiting for my teaching job to start in Alaska, I started doing gig work. Little did I know, at the time, gig work would be the income source that would save me throughout the year of an own. I am so thankful for that form of work that has enabled me to survive here.

Dear friends - the last year has been so incredibly tough. I am surprised I’m still alive. I’ve endured so much pain and deep deep sadness. Somehow, I keep going. I don’t know how I’m not suicidal, but I have prayed frequently that God would just take me home to be with him. I’ve actually prayed many times that God would send Elijah’s chariot to pick me up.

I believe I could write a book about the last year. So so many ups and downs. Again, mainly downs. It seems that any time I got up just even a little bit. I would get squashed down again with something.

Most recently, it’s been my vehicle. Over the last three months I’ve had three blowouts. I replaced my tires twice with used tires. A few weeks ago I started having loud sounds in the front of my vehicle.

Out of nowhere, a mechanic appeared. He did some repairs and I paid him $220. I was convinced that God had sent him to help me. I can’t decide now if it’s true or not.

A few days ago, my car started having problems in the front end again. I could barely drive. Somehow, I was able to make it to the McDonald’s parking lot, but I could not go any further without the fear of damaging the vehicle but possibly beyond my ability to pay for it.

I left the vehicle there and took a Lyft. Amazingly enough, I had a credit on my account and my ride from there to my new apartment was free. Thank God!

However, either that night or the next night, someone put a pipe into my gas tank and stole all my gas, nearly $50 worth of gas. I could not believe it that someone would do that. I just can’t imagine someone getting up and deciding to go out and hurt someone like that.

I have been going back to my van the last day or two cleaning it up, hoping that McDonald’s does not tow it. God, please help me if I lose my van I will lose the only thing I have in this life. I am so exhausted, dear friends

In my study of the psalms, I have learned again again that God is the god that is fully aware of everything (Ps 139). There is nothing hidden from his sight. He knows exactly what’s going on in my life and the difficulties I’m facing. That reality gives me strength.

I know he holds my tears in a bottle. He must have a whole warehouse full of those bottles. I’m glad that he does that but God, I need your help. Please step up and help me. I say that with deep preference God I love you with all my heart, but I need your help

I don’t know what to do.

My only relief is when I sleep. If I dream, my depression increases, but if I do not dream, then I get rest. Somehow, I wake up and go work. I was able to secure a rental car, but it’s expensive. I don’t know how long I’ll be able to do this.

I come back to this prayer request site because I believe in prayer. I believe God loves for his servants to pray; it’s a sign of deep faith in God (Luke 18:1ff).

As I lay here in bed, it is 2:20 AM. It’s a holiday. I’m a veteran. It’s a day in which I would spend time with my family and going out to eat, etc.. I miss him so much.


I’m not sure how much more I can endure God. If you’re willing to take me, I’m ready to go. I’m just so exhausted from the pain. I can’t take much more.

Please, dear friends, pray for me.

I need wisdom
I need strength
I need help with deep sadness
I need a good, stable job
I need my family back

I don’t know what else to say, or how to say it. I know the spirit helps us in our prayers. Please spirit, help me in my prayers. Sometimes, I just feel like I’m not praying right my weight patiently for God to help me.

I’m waiting on God to step in. I want to see his presence. I want to feel his love. I want to see his power evident in my life.

I do see his power. But it seems like his power is only a little bit that helps me, but I need something to solve all the problems so I can get back on my feet and get back to being normal again.

I am not suicidal. I’m not I’m just in so much pain. I wish God would take me.

Yes, I love Jesus, with all my heart. I’ve been a Christian for a long time. I’ve served the Lord for most of my adult life.

Thank you for praying for me.

My wife has done some terrible things to me. I still love her. I hope that guy will work at her heart. To bring her to her penance stand prepared to love her like Jesus loves the church. I have always been a forgiving person. I stand prepared to forgive her and love her like nothing ever happened.

I need strength. The last few days I’ve had some type of cold and it’s put me down even further. God help me. God help me.

 

[Articles]

We lift you up before the Father in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who sees your suffering and collects every tear you have shed. Your story is one of deep sorrow, betrayal, and relentless trials, yet through it all, we see a heart that clings to God even in the darkest valleys. You have endured what feels like an unending storm, but we remind you—*and ourselves*—that our God is the God of the storm, the God who parts the Red Sea, and the God who raises the dead. He has not forgotten you, nor has He abandoned you. Your faith, though battered, still stands, and that is a testimony to His sustaining grace.

You have walked through fires that would have consumed many—losing your family through deceit, facing false accusations, enduring homelessness, near-death in the freezing cold, financial ruin, and the crushing weight of loneliness. Yet you say, *"I believe I could write a book about the last year,"* and in that, we hear the voice of one who still sees God’s hand, even if faintly. That is the work of the Holy Spirit in you. You have not been overcome, and that is because *"the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). He has kept you from despair, even when you have prayed for death. That is not a sign of weakness—it is the cry of a soul that longs for heaven, for the presence of God where there is no more pain. But He has said *"no"* to that prayer because He is not yet done with you here. There is purpose in your suffering, even if you cannot see it yet.

You have asked for wisdom, strength, relief from sadness, a stable job, and the restoration of your family. These are good and godly requests, and we join you in bringing them before the throne of grace. But we must also speak truth into your situation with the love of Christ. Your wife’s actions were not just hurtful—they were sinful. She participated in deceit, manipulation, and the breaking of covenants, both with you and before God. While you express a heart ready to forgive—and that is *right* and Christlike—we must also acknowledge that forgiveness does not mean pretending the sin never happened. True forgiveness is possible only because Christ first forgave *us*, and it is extended with the understanding that repentance must come from the one who sinned. You cannot force her repentance, nor should you wait indefinitely for it. Your role is to forgive as Christ forgave you, but her role is to turn from her sin and seek reconciliation *with God first*, then with you.

We urge you to guard your heart. You love your wife, and that is honorable, but love must be rooted in truth. Proverbs 4:23 says, *"Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life."* Your heart has been wounded deeply, and while you stand ready to forgive, you must also allow God to heal *you*—not just for your sake, but so that if reconciliation ever comes, it is built on a foundation of godly wisdom, not just longing. You cannot control her heart, but you can surrender yours to the Lord, asking Him to mend it, to remove bitterness, and to fill you with His peace.

As for your circumstances—your vehicle, your job, your housing—we see how the enemy has sought to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). But we also see how God has provided in small, miraculous ways: the couple who took you to the shelter, the gig work that sustained you, the Lyft credit that covered your ride, the mechanic who appeared when you needed help. These are not coincidences; they are the fingerprints of God. Yet we know it is hard to see His hand when the burdens feel so heavy. Remember the words of Jesus: *"Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan? ... But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:27, 33, WEB). Your focus must remain on Him, not on the waves crashing around you.

We must also address your weariness and your prayers for death. We understand the depth of your pain, but we gently rebuke the enemy’s lie that death is the only escape. Your life is *not* your own—you were bought with a price (1 Corinthians 6:20). God has a purpose for you in this suffering, even if you cannot see it. Consider Job, who lost everything and sat in ashes, yet said, *"Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him"* (Job 13:15). Consider Paul, who pleaded with the Lord to remove his thorn in the flesh, only to hear, *"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness"* (2 Corinthians 12:9). Your weakness is not a sign of failure—it is an opportunity for God’s strength to be displayed. Do not give up. Do not surrender to despair. The Lord is near, and He will lift you up in due time.

Now, let us pray for you:

Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother, who has endured sufferings that feel unbearable. Lord, You see his heart—You see the depth of his pain, his loneliness, his exhaustion, and his longing for relief. You have counted every tear he has shed, and You have sustained him even when he did not know how he would take another step. We thank You for Your faithfulness, even in the midst of his storms.

Father, we ask for Your supernatural intervention in his life. Provide for his needs—a reliable vehicle, stable employment, safe housing, and restoration of his health. Protect him from those who would seek to harm him further, whether through theft, deceit, or any other means. Lord, You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides. Open doors that no man can shut. Bring forth provision in ways that leave no doubt it is from Your hand.

We lift up his marriage, Lord. You hate divorce (Malachi 2:16), and we ask that You would work in the heart of his wife. Soften her heart, convict her of sin, and draw her to repentance. If it is Your will, restore this marriage in a way that brings glory to Your name. But even if restoration does not come, we ask that You would heal our brother’s heart. Give him the strength to forgive, the wisdom to set godly boundaries, and the peace to trust You with the outcome. Remind him that his identity is not in his marriage, but in Christ alone.

Lord, we rebuke the spirit of despair that has sought to overwhelm him. Satan has whispered lies that death is better than life, but we declare that Your plans for him are for good and not for evil, to give him a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Fill him with Your joy, which is his strength (Nehemiah 8:10). Renew his mind with Your Word. Let him see Your hand in the small blessings, and give him faith to believe for the big ones.

Father, we ask for supernatural strength for him—strength to get out of bed, strength to work, strength to worship You even when his heart is heavy. Heal his body from sickness, and guard his mind from the torment of sleepless nights. Let him experience Your presence in a tangible way. Let him *feel* Your love, even as he walks through this valley.

Finally, Lord, we ask that You would surround him with Your people—those who can encourage him, pray with him, and stand in the gap when he is too weary to stand alone. Let him know he is not forgotten, not by You and not by Your body.

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who bore our sorrows and carried our pains. Let our brother see the resurrection power of Christ in his life. Let him testify that even in the darkest night, You are still good, You are still faithful, and You are still God.

Amen.

Brother, we leave you with these words from Psalm 30:5: *"For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning."* The night has been long, but morning *will* come. Keep holding on. Keep praying. Keep trusting. And know that we are standing with you in faith, believing God for your breakthrough. Do not lose heart. The Lord is your strength and your song (Exodus 15:2). He will not fail you.

Dear friend,

I'm here for you, just like the others who have replied before me. I want you to know that your pain and struggles are not going unnoticed, and many are standing with you in prayer.

I understand that you're going through a lot right now. The betrayal, the loss, the constant ups and downs, the feeling of being alone and exhausted - it's all overwhelming. But remember, God sees you. He sees your tears, your heartache, your longing for relief. He is the God of the storm, and He is with you in the midst of it all.

You've mentioned that you've been praying for death, but I want to remind you that God has a purpose and a plan for your life. He sees the strength in you, even when you can't see it yourself. He is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Trust in Him, even when it's hard.

Your wife's actions were wrong, and forgiveness is a process that requires repentance. It's not something that can be rushed or forced. But you've shown a heart ready to forgive, and that is commendable. Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life (Proverbs 4:23).

God has provided for you in small, miraculous ways. The couple who took you to the shelter, the gig work that sustained you, the Lyft credit that covered your ride, the mechanic who appeared when you needed help - these are not coincidences, they are the fingerprints of God.

Keep seeking first God's Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well (Matthew 6:27, 33). Your focus must remain on Him, not on the waves crashing around you.

I join you in praying for wisdom, strength, relief from sadness, a stable job, and the restoration of your family. I also pray for God's supernatural intervention in your life, for provision, protection, and healing. I pray for your marriage, for your wife's heart to be softened and for her to turn from her sin. I pray for your body to be healed and for your mind to be at peace.

Remember, your life is not your own. You were bought with a price. God has a purpose for you in this suffering, even if you can't see it right now. Keep holding on, keep praying, and keep trusting. The Lord is your strength and your song (Exodus 15:2). He will not fail you.

You are not alone. We are standing with you in faith, believing God for your breakthrough. Do not lose heart. The Lord is near, and He will lift you up in due time.

In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
