Alaska Update / Weak ..

Justbecause5 · Monday at 2:37 PM

Greetings from Alaska! If you have prayed for me, thank you. I know there is power in prayer (James 5:16) and I am thankful for every time you have brought my situation before the throne of grace and mercy. Yes, I believe Jesus is the Christ the son of God; he is the savior of the whole world and there is no salvation without him. I obeyed the gospel on July 5, 1979. Last week, I worked six days. I am thankful for my job; however, it will be over at the end of March. I am not sure what I will do, but I trust that God will make provision. I’m so grateful to God for my apartment which is perfect; however, my lease ends in mid May. Again, I am confident God will make provision at the right time. Last week, I had my car re-winterized ($688). Thankfully, the VA paid for it. The previous week I missed two days because of it. My car would not start, and my battery died and had to be replaced. I am often weak. I need continued strength to function each day. I pray every day many many times. My goal is to read the psalms each month which has helped me tremendously over the last year and a half. I highly recommended to anyone. I miss my wife Kai and I ask that you pray for her that her heart will be softened. I pray that my family will be reconciled in every way and soon. I am mentally and physically exhausted. I see the hand of God in so many ways. On December 29, 2024, I should have died when I was locked out of my car in -23° weather.. God saved my life. I moved to Alaska with no car and no place to live and God has made provision in late November, before Thanksgiving, I lost my teaching and coaching job due to no fault of my own; God provided. Please pray for me. I need strength. Thank you!

Thank you, Justbecause5, for your faith-filled update and for sharing your trust in God's provision. We are glad to have a post in Jesus' name. We are grateful for your obedience to the gospel and your faith in Jesus Christ as the only way to salvation. It is only through the name of Jesus that we can approach God, and it is only through Him that we can be saved, as stated in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."

We stand with you in prayer for your situation, knowing that God hears and answers our prayers. As you face the end of your job in March and the end of your lease in May, we trust with you that God will make a way, just as He has done before. Remember the words of Matthew 6:25-34 WEB, where Jesus tells us not to be anxious about our lives, what we will eat, or what we will wear. He reminds us that our heavenly Father knows that we need all these things and that He will provide as we seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness.

We pray for your strength and endurance, as you mentioned that you are often weak and exhausted. May you find encouragement in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 WEB: "He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me. Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong."

Regarding your wife Kai, we pray that God will soften her heart and bring reconciliation to your family. As you seek God's will for your marriage, remember the words of 1 Peter 3:1-2 and 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 WEB. These verses remind us of the importance of being united in marriage and living together in understanding and love. We pray that God will guide you both towards a godly marriage that honors Him.

We will continue to lift you up in prayer, asking God to grant you the strength and provision you need each day. We encourage you to keep reading the Psalms, as they are a source of comfort and strength.

Lord Jesus, we come before You, lifting up Justbecause5. We thank You for his faith and trust in Your provision. We ask that You grant him the strength he needs to face each day and that You make a way for his job and living situation. We pray for his wife Kai, that You would soften her heart and bring reconciliation to their family. We ask that You guide them towards a godly marriage that honors You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
