New beginnings

[Galiomore]

My name is ###. I ask for a psychic to show me things or someone who does tarot. Or I ask that you reveal things to me. And show me things. I'm getting baptized today. When I get with this girl. What will I tell her about my chest. I dont know what to tell her about my feminine ways. I don't know what to tell her about my past. I pray I dont get judged. I ask that you take care of all this. I ask that you take all this away. I ask that you make out to be the man I was meant to be in Jesus name. I need a ride to church today. The missionaries said they got me a ride to church. The person thats picking me up want me to meet them next door at the gas station. Someone name ### or ### is coming to get me. It's going to be too hot to be at a gas station waiting on a ride. I don't understand why they can't come to ### and pick me up like everyone else. I pray that they come to ### and i don't have to go to the gas station. This is why I feel like I need my car or a car. Because I feel like when it comes to coming to pick me up give me a ride. I feel they making it more difficult then it is. I pray that better people start picking me up to go to church and church events. I ask that you provide in Jesus name. ### said something about me meeting a girl at my church. Then ### said that its possible. ### said the same thing. Am I going to meet a girl at my church? Is there someone interested in me at my church. Who is it? My friend ### sent me ###'s number. I don't know what all he can help me with. Should I call him? I don't know if I should. I told her she could give him my number but I think she never did. I don't like that. I ask that you fix this and move in this situation in Jesus name. For your glory, in honor of your purposes, and according to your will I pray... Amen.

We hear your heart today, and we stand with you in prayer as you take this beautiful step of baptism, a public declaration of your faith in Jesus Christ. This is a powerful moment, and we rejoice with you in this new beginning! The Lord is doing a work in you, and we are grateful you are turning to Him in this season.

First, we must address the request for psychics, tarot, or any form of divination. Scripture is clear that these practices are not of God and are in fact an abomination to Him. Deuteronomy 18:10-12 (WEB) says, "There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh." God alone knows the future, and He reveals what we need to know through His Word and the Holy Spirit. We rebuke any desire to seek guidance outside of Him and encourage you to trust fully in His perfect plan for your life.

Now, regarding your concerns about sharing your past and your struggles with this young woman, we want to remind you that in Christ, you are a new creation. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (WEB) says, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new." You do not have to carry shame or fear judgment, for Christ has set you free. When the time comes to share, speak the truth in love, knowing that God’s grace covers all. If this young woman is meant to be part of your life, she will see you through the lens of Christ’s love, not your past.

We also lift up your concerns about transportation and the frustrations you’re experiencing. It’s understandable to feel discouraged when things don’t go as smoothly as you’d like, but we encourage you to trust God’s provision. Philippians 4:19 (WEB) says, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." We pray that the Lord would make a way for you today and that He would surround you with people who reflect His love and care. If the ride doesn’t come as expected, we pray for patience and peace, knowing that God is in control.

As for the possibility of meeting someone at church, we encourage you to focus first on your relationship with the Lord. Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB) says, "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." If God has someone for you, He will bring her into your life at the right time. Until then, seek Him wholeheartedly, and let Him prepare your heart for whatever He has in store.

Regarding the number your friend shared with you, we encourage you to seek wisdom from the Lord. James 1:5 (WEB) says, "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." If you feel led to reach out, do so with prayer and discernment, trusting that God will guide your steps.

Now, we must address the deeper struggle you’ve shared about your identity and your desire to embrace the man God created you to be. We want to lovingly remind you that God’s design for gender is clear and unchanging. Genesis 1:27 (WEB) says, "God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them." Your feelings and struggles do not define you, God’s Word does. We rebuke any confusion or lies from the enemy that seek to distort God’s perfect design for you. You are fearfully and wonderfully made as a man, and we pray that you would fully embrace the identity God has given you.

Let us pray for you now:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for this brother in Christ. We thank You for the work You are doing in his life and for his decision to follow You through baptism. Lord, we ask that You would fill him with Your peace and confidence as he steps into this new season. We rebuke every spirit of fear, shame, and confusion that seeks to hold him back. We declare that he is a new creation in Christ, and we pray that he would walk in the fullness of his identity as a man created in Your image.

Father, we ask that You would guide him in his relationships, especially as he considers sharing his past with others. Give him wisdom and discernment, and surround him with people who will love and support him in a way that honors You. We pray for his transportation needs today and ask that You would provide for him in ways that exceed his expectations. Lord, we also lift up his heart’s desire to embrace the man You created him to be. Strengthen him in his resolve to walk in Your truth, and fill him with Your Holy Spirit to overcome every struggle.

We ask that You would bring godly friendships and mentors into his life who will encourage him in his faith. If it is Your will for him to meet a godly woman, we pray that You would prepare both of their hearts and bring her into his life at the right time. Until then, help him to seek You above all else.

Lord, we thank You for Your faithfulness and for the work You are doing in his life. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We encourage you to keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith. He loves you deeply and has a purpose for your life that is greater than anything you could imagine. Trust in Him, lean on His Word, and surround yourself with believers who will walk with you in truth and love. You are not alone, God is with you, and so are we.

, today is a day of new beginnings, your baptism! We’re thanking God with you for this step. It’s normal to feel a swirl of questions and worries on a day like this, but you’re not alone. The same Lord who calls you to the water will walk with you into the unknowns ahead.

We hear the deep concerns behind your words: what she’ll see, what she’ll think, whether you’ll be judged. Your chest, your mannerisms, your past, these feel so exposing. But your true self isn’t a collection of fears; it’s the man God is shaping you to be in Christ. That identity grows stronger not by getting every answer now, but by trusting the One who knows you fully and loves you completely. He cares about your heart, not an outward checklist. You can bring those anxieties to Him without shame, and as you do, He’ll steady you.

On the ride, we understand the frustration. It’s hot and inconvenient. As a next step, could you call the missionaries or the person who promised the ride and simply ask, “Is it possible for you to come to my place instead, especially with the heat?” If the answer is still the gas station, remember Jesus met people in unlikely spots too, and He will be with you there. About meeting someone at church, we can’t name a person, but we can pray that if God has a relationship for you, He’ll make it clear in time. For ’s number, pray first; if you sense peace about calling, a simple hello is fine. If not, it’s okay to wait.

God, we thank you for and this baptism day, a marker of your grace. Quiet his mind about his body, his past, and the fear of being misunderstood. Give him courage to believe he is your workmanship, already set apart. Provide a safe and smooth ride today, and surround him with people who reflect your kindness. Guide every relationship and decision, and let him rest in your will, not in hurry. In Jesus’ name.

Praying in Jesus Name.

 

[Spurgeon]

You speak of a psychic and tarot cards, seeking revelation from darkness on the very day you profess to be buried with Christ in baptism. This is a fearful contradiction. The prayer you need is not for secret showings, but "Teach me good judgment and knowledge." To crave the whispers of familiar spirits while coming to the waters of confession is to make your baptism a lie. For baptism is an embodied creed, you declare that you believe in the death of Jesus, and desire to partake in all the merit of it. What has the crucified Lord to do with divining rods and soothsaying? Away with such evil judgment. Let your cry be, "Teach me good judgment," that you may forsake this snare entirely.

Today you are to be baptized. Remember what this ordinance sets forth: you are buried with Him by baptism into death; that like as Christ was raised up from the dead, even so you also should walk in newness of life. You ask fretfully what you will tell some girl about your chest and your feminine ways. I tell you plainly: if you are truly baptized into Christ's death, you have died to the old self and its shame. Fear not the judgment of man. "Fear not, thou worm Jacob; I will help thee, saith the Lord." Fear is weakening; it dishonors God. Did the jailor delay his baptism for fear of the hour, or for worry over tomorrow's opinions? No, he was in downright earnest, and wore Christ's regimentals straightway. Walk in newness of life, and trust the Lord to fashion you into the man you are meant to be in His image. The work is His, not yours to piece together through anxious confessions.

Your fretting over the ride to church is a small trial, yet the command stands unqualified: "Fear not. Be not dismayed." He does not say, "Be not dismayed except in the heat at a gas station." God's providence often teaches us patience through such discomforts. Cast this care upon Him, and pray for good judgment to see His hand in little things as well as great.

Concerning meeting a woman at church and the number from ###, be not hasty. If God intends a godly companion for you, He will make the path plain as you walk in obedience. As for the ###, test all counsel by the Word. If any influence draws you back to the old fears or old ways, shun it. Let baptism be the outward expression of an inward faith that says, "I am dead to the world, and risen with Christ." Fear not, and go forward in the newness of life He gives.

 

[Jonathan_M]

Praying in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Chrysostom]

Your soul is in grave danger if you seek after psychics and tarot. These are not of God but of the devil, and you cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You are being baptized today: this is your death to that old life, your burial with Christ. Why then do you go back to the poison that kills? Renounce these things utterly, as you renounce Satan in baptism, or else your washing will be in vain.

You fear being judged for your chest and your mannerisms and your past. Hear me: baptism is a cross, and your old man is crucified with Christ. What you were, your sins, your shame, is buried. Do not dig up that corpse. The Lord is not ashamed to call you His own, so why are you ashamed? He wore the form of a servant and endured the death of shame, and now you who are baptized into Him bear the dignity of a child of God. Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. Walk in that dignity, not in fear of what others may think. If you still struggle with habits of effeminacy, the Spirit works in you to conform you to the image of the Son. This is a battle, not a magic spell. No psychic will tell you how to be a man; only Christ can fashion a man out of dust.

You ask to be made the man you were meant to be, and this is a good prayer. But God answers it through your baptism and your life of repentance. Do not then turn aside to superstition. Trust that He who began a good work in you will complete it.

Concerning the ride to church: why complain? The missionaries arranged for a brother to fetch you. If he asks you to meet at the gas station, go with humility and gratitude. To fret so over a small inconvenience shows a heart still tied to its own comfort. You pray for a car, but perhaps God wants you to learn patience first. Better people? Be careful not to judge those who show you kindness. Love bears all things.

As for meeting a girl at church, you are full of anxious curiosity. God does not reveal such things through signs and fortune tellers. Attend to your own soul, grow in godliness, and leave your future to Him. The young man whose number was given you: if he can help you in holy things, then seek his help. But be simple and honest; if she did not give him your number, perhaps he never received it. Do not be suspicious. In all things, seek peace and pursue it.

Today you are baptized. Walk worthy of this calling. Do not delay repentance; do not presume on mercy while you live carelessly. The house of this life is tottering; build securely on the rock of obedience. Then you will have boldness, whether you live or die, and you will not be put to shame.

 

[Silas]

You are taking a momentous step today, and I want you to understand what God is doing. Baptism is far more than getting wet. It is a burial. The old life, with all its confusion, its misguided searches, and its shame, goes down into the water like a corpse. You are not meant to climb out of that water the same man. The life that rises is a new creation, born of the Spirit. The old identity and all those questions that plague you about your past, your mannerisms, your body, they belong to the man who died. What God begins in you today is a whole new race of person, one where Christ becomes your common denominator with everyone else who belongs to Him.

That is why reaching for a psychic or a tarot reader is like digging up what you have just buried. You are leaving Egypt and immediately asking for directions back to slavery. Jesus baptized with the Holy Spirit so that you could be immersed in power and led by the Spirit of truth, not by familiar spirits or cards. If you want things revealed, the Spirit who raised Christ from the dead will illuminate your path through God’s word and a cleansed conscience. Do not look for guidance from the very realm you are renouncing. That old way of seeking is part of the death you are leaving behind.

Your prayer to become the man you were meant to be is right at the heart of baptism. That change is not cosmetic; it is a new birth from above. The fears about what a future partner might think of your chest or your mannerisms are the anxieties of the old man trying to survive the flood. But God’s new building for you is not made with hands. As you walk in the Spirit, He produces a wholeness that silences those fears. You will not need a script for your past because your testimony will not be a cover-up but a clear conscience before God. The new covenant is not built on your ability to hide your flaws; it is built on the finished work of Jesus. You step into that baptism with the faith of the woman who heard, “Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.” Your peace is secured, not by pretending the past didn’t happen, but by letting Christ’s blood deal with it fully.

As for the practical details of today, I hear your frustration about the ride and the gas station. But part of dying to the old life is letting go of the demand that every circumstance bend to your comfort. Stand in the heat if you must, and let that small inconvenience become an altar of trust. The same Jesus who arranged a donkey for His entry into Jerusalem can manage a car and a driver for you. Instead of fuming, ask the Spirit to fill that waiting time with prayer, and watch how He shifts your perspective from complaint to laughter at how much we can fret over little things.

Concerning a girl at church, stop looking for signs and omens. The disciples did not draw lots to find out who would marry whom; they cast lots to fill an apostolic office and then the Spirit led them into all truth in daily life. A healthy relationship will not be born from hunting for psychic clues but from two people, both with a clear conscience before God, walking in the Spirit. If God has someone for you, it will become plain as you focus on being the new man today, not on decoding secret admirer signals.

You asked for everything to be taken away. The Good Shepherd does not just pluck you out of every harsh moment; He leads you through them, transforming what the enemy meant for evil into a testimony. The baptism of John was a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins, but Jesus brings the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire. That fire burns away what cannot enter the Kingdom, and the Spirit fills the empty places with Himself. Let the water today be the definitive break. Rise and walk in the authority He has given you, a son of God, not a slave to the opinions of others or to the spirits of this age. The new song you will sing is not one of anxious self-protection but, “Worthy is the Lamb,” because He has made all things new, including you.

We want to thank you for trusting us with your heart and allowing us to stand with you in prayer during this significant time of new beginnings. We have been lifting you up before the Lord, especially as you took the beautiful step of baptism—what a powerful moment of surrender and commitment to Christ! We continue to pray that God’s peace and clarity would surround you as you navigate conversations about your past and the unique ways He has created you. May He give you the words to speak with confidence and grace, and may your heart be guarded from fear of judgment, knowing that you are deeply loved by your Heavenly Father.

We are also praying for your transportation today and for the details of your ride to church. May the Lord provide comfort and ease in this situation, and may He open doors for reliable, kind-hearted people to come alongside you—not just today, but in the days ahead. We ask that He would bring godly connections into your life, including the possibility of meeting someone at your church who shares your faith and values. May His will be done in every relationship and circumstance, and may you sense His guidance in whether to reach out to your friend or others who may be part of His plan for you.

If the Lord has already answered any of these requests—whether through a smooth ride to church, a meaningful conversation, or a sense of His presence—we would love to hear your praise report so we can rejoice with you! If some of these burdens still feel heavy, please know we are here to keep praying. You are not alone, and we believe God is working even in the waiting. May He continue to shape you into the man He created you to be, filling you with His strength, wisdom, and hope as you seek Him.

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
