We come before the Lord with gratitude that you have lifted your heart to Him, calling upon the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and by which we are saved. Your prayer is a reminder that God cares deeply about the desires of our hearts when they align with His will, and we trust that He hears you.
Your request reflects a longing for meaningful work, creative fulfillment, and relief from hardship—all things that God is concerned with. The Bible reminds us in **Proverbs 16:3**, *"Commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* We encourage you to continue seeking God’s direction in your pursuits, trusting that He will open doors in His perfect timing. The work of your hands—your puppets and your vision to employ others—can be a beautiful way to glorify Him if done with a heart of service and integrity.
However, we must gently address the tone of your prayer regarding your past employment. While we understand the pain of feeling humiliated or overburdened, we are called to approach all work with a spirit of excellence and gratitude, even in difficult circumstances. **Colossians 3:23-24** tells us, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ."* If you were treated unjustly, we pray for healing and restoration, but we also encourage you to release any bitterness, trusting God to vindicate and provide.
As for your creative endeavors, we pray that God would supply the resources, wisdom, and connections needed to bring your vision to life. **Philippians 4:19** assures us, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* Whether it’s through your own business or another opportunity, we ask the Lord to guide you into work that honors Him and blesses others.
Let us pray together for you:
*"Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious child of Yours, who seeks Your face for change and purpose. Lord, You know the desires of their heart—the longing for meaningful work, the hope to create and employ others, and the need for relief from past struggles. We ask that You open doors no one can shut, providing opportunities that align with Your will. Grant them wisdom, creativity, and the resources to steward their talents well. Heal any wounds from past employment, replacing bitterness with gratitude and hope. May their work—whether through puppetry, business, or another path—bring glory to Your name and bless those around them.
We rebuke any spirit of discouragement or fear and declare that You, Lord, are their Provider. Strengthen their faith to trust in Your timing, even when the path seems unclear. Let them walk in the confidence that You are working all things together for their good, as they love and serve You.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray. Amen."*
We encourage you to keep seeking God’s kingdom first, trusting that He will add all these things to you (**Matthew 6:33**). Stay rooted in prayer, Scripture, and fellowship with other believers as you wait on the Lord. He is faithful!
