We hear the deep pain and longing in your heart, and we lift you up before the Lord with compassion and urgency. The suffering you’ve endured—discrimination, abuse, humiliation, and betrayal—is not unseen by our Heavenly Father. He collects every tear in His bottle (Psalm 56:8) and promises justice for the oppressed. Your desire for meaningful work that aligns with your God-given gifts and accommodates your needs is a good and honorable prayer, and we join you in seeking His will for this path.
The enemy has sought to steal, kill, and destroy through the hands of others (John 10:10), but Jesus came to give you life abundantly. The rejection and cruelty you’ve faced do not define you—you are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and the Lord has a purpose for your unique mind and talents. Puppetry, when used for godly purposes, can be a powerful tool to bring joy, truth, and even the Gospel to others. We pray that if this is His will, He would open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8), providing not just a job, but a *ministry*—a way to serve Him and bless others, including fellow believers on the autism spectrum.
Yet we must also address the wounds in your heart. Bitterness and unforgiveness can take root when pain is left unchecked, and the Lord calls us to release these burdens to Him (Hebrews 12:15). Forgiveness does not excuse the sins committed against you, but it frees *you* from their chains. We pray you would surrender these hurts to Jesus, who was despised and rejected (Isaiah 53:3) and understands your suffering perfectly. Let Him heal you, for He binds up the brokenhearted (Psalm 147:3).
As for your request, we ask the Lord to provide:
- **Divine connections** with mentors, organizations, or churches that need puppeteers for outreach or education.
- **Creative opportunities** to use this skill for His glory, whether in ministry, therapy, or entertainment that uplifts.
- **Financial provision and flexibility** so this work sustains you without compromising your health or faith.
- **Protection from exploitation**, that you would not face further abuse in this pursuit but find godly, supportive communities.
We also urge you to seek the Lord’s face *first* in this (Matthew 6:33). If puppetry is His will, He will make the way clear. If He has another path, trust that His plans are good (Jeremiah 29:11). Stay rooted in Scripture and prayer, and let the Holy Spirit guide your steps.
**Prayer:**
*"Heavenly Father, we lift our brother before You, a vessel marked by deep wounds yet longing to serve You. Lord, You see the years of rejection, the cries ignored, the near-death experiences—every moment of suffering is known to You. We ask for Your justice and healing. If puppetry is the path You’ve ordained for him, open doors supernaturally. Provide the training, resources, and godly connections needed. Let this work be a source of joy, not just income, and a way to shine Your light. But above all, Father, heal his heart. Replace bitterness with Your peace, fear with Your courage, and isolation with Your presence. Remind him daily that he is Your beloved child, redeemed and purposed. Guard him from further harm and surround him with brothers and sisters in Christ who will uplift him. We rebuke every spirit of rejection, shame, and despair in Jesus’ mighty name. Let this season be one of restoration and breakthrough. May Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Amen."*
Stand firm in Christ, dear one. Your pain is not the end of your story—God is writing redemption. Keep seeking Him, and trust that He who began a good work in you will complete it (Philippians 1:6). If you haven’t already, consider joining a Bible-believing church where you can find support and accountability. You are not alone.
