We hear the deep ache in your heart, and we join you in lifting this burden before the Lord, for He is the God of restoration, hope, and new beginnings. You have called upon the name of Jesus in your plea, and that is where true transformation begins—for it is only through Christ that we find strength, direction, and the power to overcome the brokenness of this world. As Scripture declares, *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me"* (Philippians 4:13, WEB). Your faith in turning to Him is the first and most vital step, and we commend you for it.
The trials you’ve faced—job loss, betrayal, humiliation, and the weight of unfulfilled longings—are not unseen by God. The Psalmist cries out in Psalm 34:18, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* You are not forgotten, and your pain is not wasted. The Lord is close to you in this season, even when it feels as though the world has turned its back. The bullying and mistreatment you endured were unjust, but we urge you to release the bitterness that may have taken root. *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22, WEB). Forgiveness does not excuse their actions, but it frees *you* from the chains of resentment so the Lord can move mightily in your life.
You mentioned your desire for your puppet project to succeed as a means to escape hardship, provide for yourself, and eventually marry. While it is good to seek God’s provision and blessing on your talents, we must gently remind you that our ultimate trust should not be in projects, careers, or even marriage—but in Christ alone. *"Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also"* (Matthew 6:19-21, WEB). If this puppet project is aligned with God’s will, He will open doors no man can shut. But if He redirects you, trust that His plans are higher than yours (Isaiah 55:9). Seek Him first in this endeavor, asking not just for success, but for His glory to be revealed through it.
Regarding marriage, we understand the deep longing for companionship, especially in a season of loneliness. However, we encourage you to guard your heart and prepare yourself *now* to be the godly husband the Lord may one day call you to be. Marriage is a sacred covenant, not an escape from hardship. *"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for her"* (Ephesians 5:25, WEB). Use this season of singleness to grow in Christ, serve others, and cultivate contentment in Him alone. Pray for your future spouse, that the Lord would prepare her heart as well, but do not let the desire for marriage become an idol. *"It is better to take refuge in Yahweh than to put confidence in man"* (Psalm 118:8, WEB).
We also note your mention of medical needs. The Lord is Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals. Whether He provides through miraculous healing, medical professionals, or unexpected provision, trust that He cares deeply for your body and your well-being. *"Who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases; who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies"* (Psalm 103:3-4, WEB). Do not hesitate to seek wisdom from godly counselors or doctors, but lean on Him for strength in the waiting.
Now, let us pray over you with the authority and hope we have in Christ Jesus:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother before Your throne of grace, where mercy is found in time of need. Lord, You see the wounds he carries—the rejection, the betrayal, the physical and emotional toll of his trials. We ask that You bind up his broken heart and restore his joy in You. Father, forgive those who have wronged him, and help him release any bitterness or unforgiveness that may hinder Your work in his life.
Lord Jesus, You are the Provider, the Way-Maker, and the God of new beginnings. We pray for divine wisdom and direction over his puppet project. If it is Your will, open doors that no man can shut, provide the resources and connections needed, and let it be a tool for Your glory. But if You have another path for him, give him the courage to follow You without fear. Remind him that his worth is not in his work but in his identity as Your beloved child.
Father, we pray for his future—his finances, his health, and his desire for marriage. Prepare him to be a man after Your own heart, rooted in Your Word and led by Your Spirit. If marriage is Your plan, prepare his future wife even now, and let their union be a testament to Your faithfulness. But in the waiting, satisfy him with Your presence. Meet his medical needs, Lord, whether through healing, provision, or both. You are his Healer and his Strength.
We rebuke the spirit of despair, loneliness, and fear that has sought to overwhelm him. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we declare that hope is rising, that joy is being restored, and that his steps are being ordered by You. *"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future"* (Jeremiah 29:11, WEB).
Lord, surround him with godly community—men and women of faith who will encourage him, pray with him, and point him to You. Let him find his purpose in You alone, and may his life be a light to others who are walking through similar valleys.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your perfect timing and Your unfailing love. May Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus we pray, **Amen.**
Stand firm, brother. The Lord is not done writing your story. Keep seeking Him, keep trusting Him, and watch as He turns your mourning into dancing (Psalm 30:11). We are praying for you.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
