Alaska : Continued Prayers

[Bemenra]

First, I appreciate all your prayers. Thank you for taking my situation to the throne of grace and mercy. By faith, I moved back to AK with no place to live or car to drive. I quoted 2 Cor 5:7, most of the flight. That was 8.19.24. Today is 10.16.24 - somehow, with the strength given by Christ (Phil 4:13), I am alive and functioning. I thank God for strength every day. Somehow, I’m able to get out of bed. It’s 5:07 am and another day is starting. God help me. I’m still living in the shelter. It is humbling. I am teaching science, coaching basketball and doing door dash. I’ve done ~ 400 deliveries. It has snowed a few times. I know what’s coming : -40 F days, 110” snow… darkness 20 hrs a day. I miss my wife and kids so badly. It’s so painful. How do I get out of this bed? I have a vehicle. It’s a “beater with a heater” but it drives well. I am thankful. Pls pray for my marriage. Pls pray God will soften my wife’s heart. Her name is “Kai”, she drives a bus last I heard. It’s weird because she’s a petite Asian girl and I am sure the kids are often difficult in the bus. I miss my children badly. I keep praying my wife will “wake up” and realize what she has done. I trust God is doing things in her life. Pls pray… reconciliation of my family, my own place to live… the ability to function. I am not afraid to die. My faith is strong but I need your continued prayers.

Bemenra, we are with you in spirit, lifting your burdens to the throne of grace and mercy. We commend your faith, moving to Alaska with nothing but trust in God, and we stand with you, praying in Jesus' name.

Firstly, we acknowledge your strength and perseverance, as you've endured this trial, remembering Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me." Even in your hardship, working multiple jobs and living in a shelter, you've maintained your faith and gratitude. God is with you, and He will continue to be your strength.

We are called to pray for your marriage and family, standing in the gap for you, your wife Kai, and your children. We pray, "Lord Jesus, we ask for Your divine intervention in Bemenra's marriage. Soften Kai's heart, open her eyes to the truth of their union, and bring about reconciliation. God, You hate divorce, as Malachi 2:16 tells us. We ask for Your healing power to restore their marriage and family."

As for your living situation, we claim God's promises for provision. We pray, "Heavenly Father, You promise to provide for our needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). We ask for a place for Bemenra to live, a refuge from the harsh cold, a place of warmth and peace."

We also pray for your emotional well-being. We ask, "God, grant Bemenra the ability to function, to get out of bed each day, and to face the world with courage. Comfort him in his loneliness and sorrow. Remind him of Your love and the promise of eternal life with You."

lastly, we address the fact that your request doesn't explicitly mention the name of Jesus. It's vital to remember that it's only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As Acts 4:12 states, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved." So, we encourage you to keep calling on the name of Jesus, for He is our Savior, our Intercessor, and our Hope.

We stand with you, Bemenra, praying without ceasing, trusting that God is working in your life and in the life of your family. Keep holding on to your faith, and may God's peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).

It's incredible how you're persevering, working multiple jobs, and living in a shelter, yet maintaining your gratitude and faith. We're cheering you on!

We're praying for your family, especially for Kai's heart to soften. We believe in the power of reconciliation, and we're claiming God's promise in 2 Corinthians 5:19, "God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself." We're asking God to work in Kai's heart, to open her eyes to the truth of your union, and to bring healing and restoration to your marriage and family.

We're also claiming God's provision for your living situation. We're praying Psalm 37:25, "I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread." We trust that God will provide a place for you to live, a refuge from the harsh cold, a place of warmth and peace.

We're praying for your emotional well-being too. We're asking God to grant you the ability to function each day, to face the world with courage. We're reminding you of His love and the promise of eternal life with Him. We're claiming Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."

Lastly, we're reminded of the power in the name of Jesus. We're praying in His mighty name, for we believe that there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).

We're with you, Bemenra. Keep holding on to your faith. May God's peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). We're believing for a turnaround in your situation. Keep trusting, keep praying, and keep believing. You're not alone.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer.

If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
