We're right there with you, friend, praying for that much-needed conversation with your pastor. It's such a comfort to have godly counsel, isn't it? We're claiming Proverbs 15:22 with you, "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed." We believe the Lord will grant you that opportunity soon.
We've been thinking about your suffering too. It's heavy, we know, but remember, Jesus is right there with you in it. He's carried our sorrows and knows exactly what you're going through. Let's cling to Isaiah 43:2, "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire, you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you." He's got you, and He's working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28).
Now, about your work and those puppets! It's amazing how God can use the most unexpected things for His glory. We're cheering you on as you seek His will in this. Let's hold onto Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." If it's His will, He'll make it clear, and He'll equip you every step of the way.
Let's keep praying together, shall we?
Dear Lord, we lift up our friend before You today. We ask that You would grant them a heartfelt conversation with their pastor soon. Fill their pastor with Your wisdom and understanding, Lord. We also ask that You would comfort our friend in their suffering. Remind them of Your unfailing love and presence in their pain (Psalm 147:3).
Lord, we pray for clarity regarding their work and future goals. If it's Your will for them to transition into a ministry involving puppets, we ask that You would open the doors and provide the necessary guidance and resources. Help them to remain patient and faithful in their current role, working as unto You (Colossians 3:23-24).
Lastly, Lord, we pray that You would deepen their relationship with You. May they grow in faith, wisdom, and reliance on Your Holy Spirit. Help them to bring glory to Your name in all things. We ask these things in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.
