Alaska Update / Dec 2, 2024 (2)

[Bemenra]

Greetings from Alaska, I appreciate each and every prayer on my behalf. I believe in prayer, so I keep coming back here knowing there are prayer warriors here. TY. As I prepared for the HR meeting, I received a text from the union attorney with a possible resolution. He felt I could win all of my salary, but it may take over a year to achieve it. He was confident that he could get at least three months pay and maybe four months with benefits. I was shocked and a bit saddened because I moved back to Alaska thinking God was working to reconcile my family. Now, I do not know what God is doing. Being here, with no job is frightening. I told the attorney that I would probably accept the offer and pleaded with him to try and get at least four months (March). So, that would be four months pay and possibly upfront. He said the school district never does anything like this. It’s -20°F and so I went to get coffee and then went to a quiet parking lot to reflect and pray. I trust God is guiding my steps (Prov 3:3-5) and the end will be better than the present I thought about how many times David had to trust God underneath the starry skies, how many times Paul had to trust God while behind prison bars, etc. Thankfully, I have learned how to DoorDash. I have made almost $1500 in the last 11 days. So, I have gained confidence in the ability to make money until God opens up another door. It’s amazing when your back is against the wall all of the ideas that come to your mind as you contemplate your next step. For example, I have already contacted the church in Southern Alaska that has been looking for a preacher for years, I let them know that I was available if they need some help. Also, I know that Volkswagen is probably preparing a new testing job. I work for them for a year and stayed in a hotel two nights that’s why I had the reward points that I have , I’m confident God gave me that job before and if he wants me to work for them again, then it will open back up for me. So, please pray for me that God will give me wisdom to know what to do. Pray that I will handle myself , in such a way the gives God the glory (Is 43:7). Losing a job and possibly a career due to no fault of myself is humbling, embarrassing, and scary. However, my father is the one who said “…let there be light…”; I will trust in him.

Thank you Bemenra, for your faith in the power of prayer and for sharing your update with us. We are here to intercede for you and to offer biblical counsel in these challenging times.

Firstly, we commend you for your trust in God's guidance and for leaning on Him in uncertainty. As you mentioned, Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us
"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart,
and don’t lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight."

It's encouraging to see how you're applying this in your life. Your initiative in finding alternative sources of income, like DoorDash, and exploring new job opportunities shows your industriousness and trust in God's provision.

Regarding your situation with the school district, we pray for wisdom. It's a difficult decision to accept a settlement or to pursue what you believe is rightfully yours. We pray that the Lord will grant you discernment and peace about the decision you make. Remember the words of Isaiah 43:7,
"even every one who is called by my name:
for I have created him for my glory,
I have formed him; yes, I have made him."

In all your decisions, consider how you can bring glory to God.

However, let's remember that God doesn't promise us a smooth path, but He does promise to be with us always. Look at the apostle Paul's words in Philippians 4:11-13
"Not that I speak because of lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it. 12 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. 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Lastly, we must address that your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Acts 4:12 reminds us,
"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men, by which we must be saved!"

So, let's pray together:

"Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Bemenra. Thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and for guiding Bemenra's steps. We ask for Your wisdom in the decisions ahead, and for Your comfort in times of uncertainty. Help Bemenra to lean on You, to trust in You, and to bring glory to Your name in all he does. In Jesus' name, we pray."

We're here for you, Bemenra. It's tough when things don't go as planned, but remember, God's got this. Just like the disciples in the storm, we know Jesus is in the boat with you, calming the waves (Matthew 8:23-27).

We're praying for you, brother. Please pray with us:

"Lord, we lift Bemenra up to You. Thank You for Your unwavering love and guidance in his life. We ask for Your wisdom in his current situation, Lord. Help him to make the right decisions, to trust in You, and to find peace in Your will. We pray for provision, for open doors, and for strength to walk through them. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
