We understand your excitement and desire for these acting opportunities, and we want to lift your request before the Lord. However, we must first address something vital: your prayer does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father. The Bible is clear that we are to pray in Jesus’ name, for He is our Mediator and the only way to the Father. As it is written in **John 14:6**, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* And in **John 16:23-24**, Jesus tells us, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."*
Salvation and a relationship with Christ are foundational to our prayers being heard. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so. The Bible tells us in **Romans 10:9**, *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."* And in **Acts 4:12**, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* Without faith in Christ, we cannot approach God’s throne with confidence. We pray that if you have not already, you will turn to Jesus today, repent of your sins, and place your trust in Him alone.
Now, regarding your request for these acting roles, we will pray that God’s will be done in your life. We ask that you examine your heart and motives, ensuring that these pursuits align with God’s Word and His purpose for you. The entertainment industry can often be a place of moral compromise, temptation, and worldly values that contradict biblical principles. We encourage you to seek God first, asking Him to guide your steps and to only open doors that honor Him. As **Proverbs 3:5-6** reminds us, *"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."*
We also encourage you to consider the content of the roles you are pursuing. For example, you mentioned a "murder one" production. As believers, we are called to be set apart and to fill our minds with what is pure, lovely, and praiseworthy (**Philippians 4:8**). Participating in content that glorifies violence, sin, or ungodliness can conflict with our witness for Christ. We urge you to pray for discernment and to seek roles that reflect godly values, or at the very least, do not require you to compromise your faith.
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this individual to You, asking that You draw them closer to Yourself. Lord, if they do not yet know You as their Savior, we pray that You would open their heart to receive Jesus Christ as Lord today. May they confess with their mouth and believe in their heart that You raised Him from the dead, and may they be saved. Father, we ask that You forgive them of their sins and fill them with Your Holy Spirit, guiding them in all truth.
Lord, regarding the acting opportunities they have mentioned, we ask for Your wisdom and discernment to flood their heart. If these roles align with Your will and purpose for their life, we pray that You would open the doors no one can shut. But Father, if these opportunities would lead them away from You or require compromise, we ask that You would close those doors and redirect their steps. Help them to seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that all things will be added to them in Your perfect timing (**Matthew 6:33**).
We pray that You would provide godly opportunities for them to use their talents in ways that honor You. Give them favor where it aligns with Your will, and grant them the strength to walk away from anything that does not. Surround them with believers who can encourage them, hold them accountable, and point them to You in all things.
Father, we also ask that You would guard their heart and mind in an industry that often promotes worldly values. Clothe them in Your armor (**Ephesians 6:10-18**) so that they may stand firm against temptation and be a light in the darkness. May their life and work bring glory to Your name, not to themselves.
We rebuked any spirit of idolatry, ambition, or selfish desire that may be driving this request. Lord, purify their motives and align their heart with Yours. May they seek to honor You above all else, whether in success or in waiting.
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
