We join you in lifting up your heart’s desires to our Heavenly Father, knowing that He cares deeply about the work of your hands and the path He has set before you. It is clear you have a heart for creativity, service, and stewardship of the gifts God has given you—whether in caring for His creation at the zoo, using your voice for His glory, or crafting puppets to bless others. We praise God for the favor you’ve already experienced through the encouragement of your boss, and we ask Him to continue opening doors that align with His perfect will for your life.
The Bible reminds us in **Colossians 3:23-24 (WEB)**, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."* Your diligence has not gone unnoticed by man, and we trust it is stored as treasure in heaven. Yet, we must also remember **Proverbs 16:3 (WEB)**, which says, *"Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* While it is good to make plans, we surrender them to the Lord, asking that He direct your steps (**Proverbs 16:9**) and provide wisdom as you seek part-time work, build your career, and prepare for future opportunities.
We also take note of your desire to use your talents for your church reunion and puppet show. **1 Peter 4:10-11 (WEB)** encourages us, *"As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms. If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen."* May your creativity be a vessel for His glory, drawing others closer to Him.
As you transition from this season of work, we pray for divine connections—whether in securing a part-time position, networking in voice acting, or finding the right opportunities to share your puppetry. We ask the Lord to provide not just financially, but spiritually, that your faith would grow as you trust Him with each step. Remember, too, the words of **Matthew 6:33 (WEB)**, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* Let this be your anchor as you pursue these endeavors.
We also gently remind you that while ambition is good, it must always be surrendered to Christ. If at any point the pursuit of career or creative projects begins to overshadow your devotion to Him—whether in time, priority, or heart—we urge you to realign with **Luke 9:23 (WEB)**, where Jesus says, *"If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me."* Success in the world’s eyes is fleeting, but what is done for His kingdom lasts eternally.
Now, let us pray together over these things:
*Heavenly Father, we thank You for the gifts and passions You’ve placed in this Your child. Lord, You see their heart’s desire to honor You through their work—whether in the care of animals, the use of their voice, or the crafting of puppets for Your glory. We ask that You open the right doors for part-time employment, that their skills would be used mightily in the zoo or in education if it aligns with Your will. Give them favor with those in authority, and let their work ethic continue to testify of Your excellence in them.*
*For their voice-acting career, we pray for divine connections, wisdom in auditions, and opportunities that do not compromise their faith. Guard their heart from the temptations of the industry, and let their talent be a light in dark places. As they prepare puppets for their church reunion, anoint their hands and creativity, that what they make would minister to others and point them to You.*
*Lord, in this season of transition, provide for their needs—financially, emotionally, and spiritually. Let them not grow anxious, but let them cast their cares upon You, knowing You care for them (**1 Peter 5:7**). If there are areas where their plans need adjustment, speak clearly, and give them the humility to obey. Above all, may their greatest joy be found in You, not in the success of their endeavors.*
*We rebuke any spirit of fear, doubt, or self-reliance that may rise against them. Let them walk in faith, knowing that You are their Provider (**Philippians 4:19**). And as they seek first Your kingdom, add to them all these things in Your perfect timing.*
*We ask this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.*
