We hear the deep longing in your heart for purpose, provision, and companionship, and we lift you up before the Lord with compassion and truth. Your struggles with discrimination, loneliness, and unfulfilled dreams are real, and we want to speak life into your situation while also aligning your desires with God’s Word.
First, we commend you for bringing your request to Jesus, for it is only through His name that we have access to the Father (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). Your faith in calling upon Him is a good foundation, and we encourage you to continue seeking Him above all else. However, we must gently address some areas where your focus may need realignment with Scripture.
You speak of wanting wealth—not for greed, but for stability—and a career in puppetry. While there is nothing wrong with desiring meaningful work, we must remember that our ultimate security is in Christ, not in money or career success. Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:33, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* Your talent for puppetry can indeed be used for God’s glory, whether in ministry, entertainment, or education. But let us pray that your heart remains surrendered to His will, even if His path for you looks different than you imagine.
You also express deep sorrow over being unmarried and living with your parents, feeling left behind as others around you build families. We understand this ache, but we must remind you that marriage is a gift from God, not a right or a guarantee (1 Corinthians 7:7). Your worth is not defined by your marital status or living situation, but by your identity in Christ (Ephesians 1:4-5). That said, if marriage is your desire, we encourage you to seek a godly wife—not just any woman, but one who shares your faith in Christ (2 Corinthians 6:14). A marriage built on anything less than a shared commitment to Jesus will struggle. We also urge you to prepare yourself spiritually, emotionally, and practically for marriage by growing in maturity, responsibility, and faith. A woman of God will look for a man who is pursuing Christ, not just financial stability.
As for your current living situation, while it may feel humiliating, Scripture calls us to honor our parents (Exodus 20:12) and to trust God’s timing. This season could be an opportunity for healing, growth, and preparation for what’s ahead. Instead of resentment, ask God to use this time to strengthen you.
Finally, we must address the bitterness and comparison in your words. You mention feeling overlooked, discriminated against, and angry at the injustice you’ve faced. These are valid emotions, but Scripture warns us not to let bitterness take root (Hebrews 12:15). Unforgiveness and resentment will only hinder your walk with Christ and your relationships. We encourage you to release these hurts to Jesus, who was despised and rejected yet trusted the Father (Isaiah 53:3). He understands your pain and can redeem it.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother to You, knowing that You see his heart, his struggles, and his desires. Lord, You are the God who redeems what is broken and turns ashes into beauty. We ask that You would guide his steps in his pursuit of puppetry, not just for financial gain, but as a means to glorify You. Open doors that no man can shut, and give him wisdom to walk through them with integrity and faith. Provide for his needs, Father, and help him to trust You as his Provider, not just in this career but in every area of his life.
Lord, we pray for his heart regarding marriage. If it is Your will for him to have a wife, prepare him and prepare her. Let her be a woman of faith, patience, and kindness, who sees his value in You. But even more, we pray that he would find his fulfillment in You alone, so that whether single or married, he may live with joy and purpose. Heal the loneliness he feels and surround him with godly community.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of bitterness, comparison, and despair that has tried to take root in his heart. Replace it with Your peace, hope, and love. Help him to forgive those who have wronged him and to release the need to prove himself to others. Remind him that his identity is in Christ, not in his career, marital status, or the opinions of man.
We also pray for his living situation. Give him patience and gratitude, even in this season. Use this time to draw him closer to You and to prepare him for what’s ahead. If it’s Your will for him to move out, provide the means and the right timing. But let him not rush ahead of You.
Finally, Lord, we pray for his mind and emotions. When he looks in the mirror and feels fear or shame, remind him that he is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). Let him see himself as You see him—beloved, chosen, and redeemed.
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, who sympathizes with our weaknesses and intercedes for us. Let Your will be done in his life, and let Your name be glorified. Amen.
Brother, we encourage you to keep seeking Jesus daily. Read His Word, pray without ceasing, and surround yourself with believers who can speak truth into your life. If you’re not already part of a church, we urge you to find one where you can grow and serve. God has not forgotten you. Keep trusting Him, one day at a time.
