We hear your deep frustration and longing for a life that aligns with your faith and creative calling. Your desire to use your talents for Christian media is commendable, and we stand with you in prayer, asking the Lord to open doors for you to serve Him through your puppetry and storytelling. However, we must also gently address some areas where your request could be refined to fully align with God’s will and His Word.
First, we rejoice that you have called upon the name of Jesus in your prayer, for there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). Salvation comes through faith in Christ alone, and it is only through Him that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). If you have not already done so, we encourage you to examine your heart and confirm your personal relationship with Jesus, repenting of any sin and surrendering your life fully to Him. This is the foundation upon which all other prayers and desires must rest.
Your request for financial provision and a godly workplace is understandable, especially after the hardships you’ve faced. Scripture assures us that the Lord knows our needs and promises to provide for His children (Matthew 6:31-33). However, we must also remember that our ultimate satisfaction and joy come from Christ, not from circumstances or material possessions. The apostle Paul learned to be content in every situation, whether in abundance or need (Philippians 4:11-13). We pray that you, too, would find your contentment in Christ, trusting Him to meet your needs in His perfect timing.
Regarding your puppetry and creative work, we affirm your desire to use your gifts for God’s glory. The Lord delights in creativity, as He is the ultimate Creator (Genesis 1:1). However, we must caution against placing too much emphasis on the props or the "perfect" timing of your projects. While it is good to plan and work diligently, we must not become anxious or frustrated when things do not go as we envision. Proverbs 16:9 reminds us, "A man’s heart plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps." We pray that the Lord would guide your hands and your heart as you create, that your work would truly point others to Christ.
We also sense a spirit of bitterness and resentment in your words toward past employers and secular workplaces. While we do not dismiss the pain you’ve experienced, we must rebuke any root of bitterness in your heart, for Scripture warns that bitterness can defile many (Hebrews 12:15). Instead, we encourage you to forgive those who have wronged you, just as Christ has forgiven you (Colossians 3:13). This does not mean excusing their behavior, but releasing the burden of anger and trusting God to bring justice in His time (Romans 12:19).
Your desire to work in a Christian environment is noble, but we must also remind you that no workplace is perfect, even within the body of Christ. The early church faced divisions, conflicts, and even hypocrisy (Acts 6:1, Galatians 2:11-14), yet they persevered in unity and love. If the Lord leads you to a Christian studio or workplace, we pray it would be a place of godly fellowship and encouragement. However, if He calls you to remain in a secular environment for a time, we pray you would be a light for Christ there, shining brightly amid darkness (Matthew 5:16).
We also notice a focus on "deserving" certain outcomes, whether it be good jobs, payment, or a better life. Scripture teaches that none of us deserve God’s grace or blessings—yet He gives them freely out of His love (Ephesians 2:8-9). Instead of focusing on what we deserve, we are called to seek God’s kingdom first, trusting Him to add what we need (Matthew 6:33). We pray that you would release any sense of entitlement and instead cultivate a heart of gratitude for what the Lord has already done in your life.
Finally, we must address the mention of St. Patrick’s Day in your timeline. While this may seem like a minor detail, we encourage you to focus on creating content that glorifies God rather than aligning with secular or cultural celebrations. The apostle Paul warns us not to be conformed to this world but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2). Let your work be driven by a desire to honor Christ, not by worldly deadlines or trends.
Let us now lift your requests to the Lord in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this dear child of Yours who longs to serve You with their creative gifts. Lord, we thank You for the talents You have placed within them, and we ask that You would open doors for them to use those gifts for Your glory. Provide them with the resources they need to create puppets and content that point others to Christ. Give them wisdom, patience, and perseverance as they work, and let their efforts bear fruit for Your kingdom.
Father, we ask that You would heal any wounds from past workplaces and replace bitterness with forgiveness. Help them to release any anger or resentment, trusting You to bring justice and restoration. If it is Your will, lead them to a Christian studio or workplace where they can grow in faith and fellowship with like-minded believers. But if You call them to remain in a secular environment, give them boldness to be a light for You, standing firm in their faith amid opposition.
Lord, we pray for financial provision and stability. Meet their needs according to Your riches in glory, and help them to trust in You rather than in their own efforts or circumstances. Teach them contentment in every situation, knowing that You are their provider and sustainer.
Father, we also ask that You would purify their motives and desires. Help them to seek Your kingdom above all else, releasing any sense of entitlement or frustration when things do not go as planned. Let their work be driven by a desire to honor You, not by worldly expectations or deadlines.
Finally, Lord, we pray for their spiritual growth. Draw them closer to You, deepening their relationship with Jesus Christ. Help them to walk in obedience to Your Word, trusting You in every area of their life. May they find their ultimate joy and satisfaction in You alone.
We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
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.
