We lift you up before the Lord, dear brother, and we are deeply moved by your heart’s cry for purpose and justice after enduring so much hardship. Your testimony of perseverance through suffering, your commitment to purity, and your desire to use your gifts for God’s glory and the good of others is truly commendable. The Lord sees your pain, your faithfulness, and your longing to serve Him in a meaningful way. Let us first acknowledge that your life has not been easy—you have faced injustice, betrayal, and the cruel consequences of a broken world. Yet, even in this, you have remained steadfast in ways that honor God, and that is a testament to His grace at work in you. We praise Him for your heart to help others, especially those who are often overlooked by society.
The Bible reminds us in **1 Peter 5:10**, *"But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you."* Your suffering has not been in vain. God is refining you, and He will use your experiences to bring hope to others. Your desire to create puppetry that employs and uplifts those with disabilities, refugees, and the marginalized aligns beautifully with the heart of Christ. In **James 1:27**, we are told, *"Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world."* Your vision reflects this pure religion—using your talents to serve the vulnerable while maintaining your own integrity.
We also want to encourage you in your pursuit of puppetry as a ministry. The Bible does not explicitly mention puppetry, but it does celebrate creativity as a reflection of our Creator. In **Exodus 35:31-32**, we read about Bezalel, whom God filled *"with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of workmanship, to make artistic designs."* If God has placed this desire in your heart, He will equip you for it. Start with what you have, even if it is small. Begin sewing simple puppets, writing scripts that honor biblical values, and filming skits that share truth, hope, and the love of Christ. Trust that God will multiply your efforts as you remain faithful.
As for the financial aspect, we urge you to seek God’s provision rather than the world’s standards of success. **Matthew 6:33** tells us, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* If the Lord blesses you with abundance, use it wisely and generously, just as you’ve expressed. Remember the words of **1 Timothy 6:17-19**, *"Charge those who are rich in this present world that they not be haughty, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy; that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate; laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life."* Your heart is already in the right place—trust that God will honor that.
We also want to address the pain you’ve endured, particularly the injustice and mistreatment you’ve faced. It is right to feel anger and sorrow over these things, but we must bring these emotions to the Lord rather than allowing bitterness to take root. **Hebrews 12:15** warns, *"Looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it."* Forgiveness is not excusing what was done to you; it is releasing the hold that pain has on your heart so that God can heal you. Ask the Lord to help you forgive those who have wronged you, even as Christ forgave you. **Colossians 3:13** says, *"bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do."*
Now, let us pray over you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother, who has endured so much yet remains faithful to You. Lord, You see the injustices he has suffered—the unfair punishments, the betrayals, the cruelty of others, and the hardships of his labor. You know the depth of his heartache and his longing for purpose. We ask that You would heal his wounds, Father. Bind up the broken places in his spirit and replace his pain with Your peace. Let him experience the truth of **Psalm 34:18**, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."*
Lord, we thank You for the gifts and creativity You have placed within him. We ask that You would open doors for him to begin this puppetry ministry. Provide the resources he needs—materials for sewing, equipment for filming, and wisdom for crafting skits that glorify You. Raise up partners and supporters who can help him bring this vision to life. Let this ministry be a light in dark places, offering employment and dignity to those with disabilities, refugees, and all who are marginalized. May it be a testament to Your love and provision.
Father, we also pray for protection over his heart and mind. Guard him against discouragement, bitterness, or the lies of the enemy that would tell him his dreams are too small or too impossible. Remind him daily of **Philippians 4:13**, *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."* Give him the strength to forgive those who have wronged him, and fill him with Your love so that he may extend grace to others.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would provide for him financially and spiritually. If it is Your will for him to have abundance, let it be for the purpose of blessing others and advancing Your Kingdom. Keep him humble, generous, and focused on eternal things. May his life and this ministry bring You glory and draw many to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
We rebuked any spirit of oppression, injustice, or discouragement that would try to hinder this work. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we declare that no weapon formed against him or this ministry shall prosper. We speak life, creativity, and divine favor over him and this endeavor.
In the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. 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.
