Alaska Update /

[Bemenra]

To Whom It May Concern:

Today, it snowed. It reminded me that God is in control of snow (Job 37:6). He says “snow” and it snows. It was beautiful.

Since 2006, I have suffered tremendously. I saw the hand of God in it all but I still suffered in ways very similar to Job and Joseph.

I suspect most people fail to realize, Job probably had to continue to live with the pain of his dead children, the pain endured, etc.

This new round of trials is painful. I moved to Alaska with the desire to be a teacher. I had done it 4 years prior mainly to supplement my work as a minister. I had decided to make it a career. I wanted to have a retirement.

Since I have been here I have worked hard, worked all weekends and holiday.

I am on suspension with pay which is better than suspension without pay. I really believed God brought me here; my faith is being tested because now I’m questioning “did he really bring me here?” Surely, he did not bring me here to be suspended for something I never did. I keep thinking about that roaring lion.

I am scheduled for a meeting on 12/3. That means I will have to live with this over the holiday. My sister is a principal and she told me that even if I survive this year I would probably not be renewed next year. So, that puts me in limbo again. I’ve been in limbo since my wife left me. Not sure where to go, what to do, etc.

I am in so much pain. I did door dash today and made $105?. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to make money. I guess I will continue doing it as long as I can. It allows me to escape the shelter, eat out, etc.

There is part of me that thinks, God is letting me know I am not a teacher, I am a minister. However, it’s nearly impossible to get a minister job without a wife.

When one is married, there is a strength in the marriage that helps the family unit handle trials. A husband looks at his wife and says “we got this… we will overcome.”

There is power in prayer (James 5:16). Elijah, a human like us, prayed and it stopped raining for 3.5 years. Please pray for me:

God will forgive me for a sin I committed today. God please forgive me. I’m sorry.

### - my wife will reach out with a soft heart.

My family will be fully reconciled.

God will help me cope.

God will help me financially.

God will just help me in every way.

I feel better just writing all that out. I feel better a number of people will read it and stop and pray. Thank you so much.

Dear ###,

Thank you for sharing your heart and situation with us. We understand the deep pain and trials you are going through, and we are here to pray and support you in Jesus' name.

First, let us remember the sovereignty of God, just as you did when you saw the snow. God's control over nature reminds us of His control over our lives. As Job 37:6 says, "For he says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth;' likewise to the downpour of rain, and to the rain of his strong storms."

Your trials, like Job's and Joseph's, are not hidden from God's sight. Rest assured that He is with you in this difficult season. Remember Job's faithfulness: "Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him" (Job 13:15).

Regarding your suspension and the upcoming meeting, we pray that God's will be done. Trust that He has a plan and purpose in this, even if it's hard to see right now. As Romans 8:28 reminds us, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose."

You mentioned your wife leaving and the struggle of being single. We pray that God will either reconcile your marriage, if it is His will, or provide a godly spouse for you in the future. Marriage is a sacred institution, and we pray for restoration and healing. As Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 says, "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn't have another to lift him up."

We also recognize your financial struggles and pray that God will provide for you. As Philippians 4:19 says, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."

Lastly, we want to encourage you to keep your faith in Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to God and salvation. As Acts 4:12 says, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved."

Let us pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our brother ###. We ask for Your forgiveness for any sins he has committed and for Your comfort and peace in his trials. Guide him through his suspension and the upcoming meeting, revealing Your purpose and plan.

We pray for reconciliation in his family and in his marriage if it is Your will. Provide for him financially and help him cope with the pain and loneliness he feels. Give him strength and wisdom as he seeks Your guidance for his future.

Most importantly, Lord, draw him closer to You during this time. Strengthen his faith and trust in You. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen."

Stay strong in the Lord, ###. We are praying for you and believing that God will see you through this.
