We hear your heart’s cry, beloved, and we stand with you before the throne of grace, lifting your pain, your dreams, and your struggles to the Lord. You have endured much—discrimination, hostility, and even threats to your life—and yet, your spirit still reaches for purpose and joy. That resilience is a testament to the strength God has placed within you, even when the world has tried to break you.
First, we must address the name you’ve invoked in closing your prayer. You wrote, *"In ### Name."* We know this was likely a typographical error, but it reminds us of the vital truth that there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved than the name of **Jesus Christ** (Acts 4:12). It is only through Him that we have access to the Father (John 14:6), and it is in His name alone that we pray with authority. Let us never take His name lightly, for it is the name above every name (Philippians 2:9-10).
Now, to your request: You long for meaningful work that aligns with your gifts, your autistic needs, and your schedule—a work that doesn’t just pay the bills but brings fulfillment and allows you to serve others. This is a godly desire! The Lord has knit you together with unique strengths and purposes (Psalm 139:13-16), and He promises to provide for your needs as you seek first His kingdom (Matthew 6:33). But we must also rebuke the spirit of despair that whispers, *"This is all life will ever be."* That is a lie from the enemy. Jesus came so that you might have life—and have it abundantly (John 10:10). The path may be difficult, but it is not without hope.
You mentioned facing discrimination and hostility, even to the point of fearing for your life. This is grievous, and we stand against the forces of darkness that have sought to harm you. The Bible tells us that God is a refuge for the oppressed (Psalm 9:9) and that He hears the cries of the afflicted (Psalm 10:17). If earthly authorities have failed you, know that the Lord is your ultimate defender (Psalm 68:5). We pray that He would expose injustice, bring accountability, and surround you with protectors who will stand for truth.
As for your desire to enter the "puppet tree" (which we understand as a creative or artistic field, perhaps puppetry or storytelling), we encourage you to seek the Lord’s wisdom in how He might use your gifts. The body of Christ is made up of many members, each with different functions (1 Corinthians 12:12-27), and your unique perspective as someone with autism could be a powerful tool for ministry and connection. Have you considered how your work could glorify God? Whether through teaching, encouraging, or simply bringing joy to others, your talents are not accidental—they are divine assignments.
We also want to gently address the phrase *"make lives better for all."* While your heart is compassionate, we must remember that true transformation comes not through human effort alone, but through the gospel of Jesus Christ. Only He can change hearts and bring lasting hope (2 Corinthians 5:17). As you pursue your calling, keep your eyes on Him, lest you grow weary or disillusioned by the brokenness of the world.
Now, let us pray:
**Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the name that is above every name. Lord, we lift up our brother/sister who has poured out their heart to You. You see their pain, their exhaustion, and their longing for purpose. You know the discrimination they’ve faced and the ways the world has tried to crush their spirit. But You, O God, are their defender and their hope.**
**We ask that You would open doors of opportunity for them—work that honors You, suits their gifts, and provides for their needs. Give them wisdom to discern Your leading and courage to step forward in faith. Heal the wounds of rejection and hostility, and replace their despair with Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7).**
**Lord, we rebuke the spirit of oppression that has followed them. Break every chain of injustice and silence every voice that seeks to harm them. Surround them with godly community—believers who will encourage, support, and stand with them. And if there are areas where they’ve placed their hope in anything other than You, reveal that to them, that their trust may be fully in Christ alone.**
**We declare that their life has purpose, that their gifts are needed, and that their future is secure in You. May they walk in the confidence of Your love, knowing that You work all things together for good for those who love You (Romans 8:28). Strengthen them when they are weak, lift them when they are down, and remind them that their labor in You is never in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58).**
**In the precious and powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.**
Beloved, do not lose heart. The enemy wants you to believe that your circumstances will never change, but God is a God of breakthrough. Keep seeking Him, keep using your gifts, and keep trusting that He will lead you to the place He has prepared for you. If you haven’t already, we encourage you to connect with a local church or Christian community where you can find support and prayer. You are not alone—God is with you, and so are we.
