We join you in lifting up your desire to speak with your pastor, as seeking godly counsel is a wise and biblical step. Proverbs 11:14 reminds us, *"Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety."* It is good that you seek the Lord’s direction through your pastor, who can provide spiritual insight and prayerful support.
We also notice your mention of suffering, your work, and your desire to transition to a ministry involving puppets. The Lord cares deeply about your struggles, and He invites you to cast all your anxieties upon Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Whether your suffering is physical, emotional, or spiritual, we encourage you to trust in His sovereignty. Romans 8:28 assures us, *"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."*
As for your work and goals, we urge you to seek the Lord’s will above all else. Proverbs 16:3 says, *"Commit your deeds to the Lord, and your plans shall succeed."* If the Lord is leading you toward a ministry with puppets, we pray He opens the doors and provides the wisdom and resources needed. However, we also encourage you to remain faithful where you are until He makes His path clear. Colossians 3:23-24 reminds us, *"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."*
We also want to gently remind you that while your prayer was addressed to Jesus, it is important to approach Him with reverence and clarity. He is our Lord and Savior, and we come before Him with humility, trusting in His perfect will. If you ever feel overwhelmed or uncertain, remember that Jesus is the Good Shepherd who leads His sheep (John 10:11). He will guide you as you seek Him with a sincere heart.
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister before You, asking that You grant them an opportunity to speak with their pastor soon. Fill their pastor with Your wisdom and discernment so they may offer godly counsel and encouragement. Lord, we ask that You comfort them in their suffering, whatever form it may take. Remind them that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18).
Father, we pray for clarity regarding their work and future goals. If it is Your will for them to transition into a ministry involving puppets, we ask that You open the doors and provide the necessary guidance, resources, and confirmation. Help them to remain patient and faithful in their current role, working as unto You and not for men. May they seek Your kingdom first, trusting that all other things will be added unto them (Matthew 6:33).
We also pray that You would deepen their relationship with You, Jesus. May they grow in faith, wisdom, and reliance on Your Holy Spirit. Let their words and actions bring glory to Your name in all things. We ask these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
