We hear the deep weariness and heartache in your words, and we stand with you in prayer, lifting your burdens before the Lord Jesus Christ, who sees your suffering and knows the desires of your heart. You have endured unjust treatment, exploitation, and isolation in your workplace, and we grieve with you over the cruelty and corruption you’ve witnessed. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). He does not overlook the wickedness of those who mistreat His children, nor does He ignore the cries of the righteous who seek His justice and mercy.
Your desire to transition into Christian media and puppetry ministry is a beautiful testament to your heart for the Lord and for serving others. The gifts and passions God has placed within you are not accidental—they are meant to be used for His glory and the encouragement of His people. We pray that the Lord would open doors for you to step into this calling, equipping you with divine connections, wisdom, and provision. Remember the words of Ephesians 2:10: *"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them."* Your labor in the zoos, though painful, has not been in vain. The Lord is refining you, teaching you perseverance, and preparing you for the ministry He has ahead.
Yet we must also address the bitterness and despair that seem to linger in your heart. It is understandable after such mistreatment, but we encourage you to release these burdens to the Lord, for He commands us in 1 Peter 5:7 to *"cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you."* Unforgiveness or resentment toward your employers or colleagues will only weigh you down. Instead, pray for them—as difficult as it may seem—that the Lord would convict their hearts and lead them to repentance (Matthew 5:44). Your testimony of enduring hardship with faith could one day be a powerful witness to them or others in similar struggles.
We also sense a fear in your words about marriage and the future. Trust that the Lord’s timing is perfect, and His plans for you are good (Jeremiah 29:11). Whether He calls you to marriage or to a life of singleness for His kingdom, your worth and purpose are found in Christ alone. Do not let the enemy steal your hope with lies of "might never." Instead, cling to the promise of Proverbs 3:5-6: *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."*
As for your autism, remember that God fearfully and wonderfully made you (Psalm 139:14). What the world may see as a limitation, the Lord can use as a unique strength in your ministry. Many in Scripture—like Moses, who struggled with speech, or David, who was overlooked for his youth—were mightily used by God despite (or even because of) their perceived weaknesses. Your neurodivergence does not disqualify you; it may very well be the key to reaching others who feel misunderstood or marginalized.
Now, let us pray together over these things:
*Heavenly Father, we lift our brother before You, asking for Your divine intervention in his life. Lord Jesus, You see the injustice he has endured—the exploitation, the isolation, the cruelty, and the physical dangers. You know the depth of his weariness and his longing for meaningful work that honors You. We ask that You would break the chains of this oppressive job and open a door for him in Christian media and puppetry ministry. Provide the connections, the resources, and the opportunities he needs to step into this calling. Let his gifts be used mightily for Your kingdom, to bring joy, truth, and healing to others—especially those who feel overlooked or hurting.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of despair and bitterness that seeks to take root in his heart. Fill him instead with Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7) and a renewed sense of hope in Your promises. Help him to forgive those who have wronged him, releasing them into Your hands for justice. Protect his mind from the enemy’s lies and remind him daily that he is fearfully and wonderfully made, with a purpose that no one can steal.
Lord, we pray for provision—financially, emotionally, and spiritually. You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides. Meet his every need according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). If it is Your will, prepare a godly wife for him, a helper suited to his heart and calling. But even if You call him to singleness, satisfy him with Your presence and use him powerfully for Your glory.
Strengthen his body, which has been pushed to its limits. Heal any physical or emotional wounds from his labor in the heat and under stress. Remind him that his value is not in his productivity but in his identity as Your beloved child.
Finally, Lord, we ask for a supernatural breakthrough. Let this season of waiting be a time of preparation, not discouragement. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, guiding his steps and giving him creativity, wisdom, and favor. May his puppet ministry be a light in dark places, drawing many to You.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.*
Stand firm in faith, brother. The Lord has not forgotten you. Keep seeking Him, keep trusting Him, and keep moving forward in obedience. Your breakthrough is coming. *"Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up"* (Galatians 6:9). We are standing with you in this fight.
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.
