We hear the deep pain and longing in your heart, and we are moved by your desire to use your gifts—not just for yourself, but to bless others and honor the name of Jesus. Your suffering has been immense, and we grieve with you over the abuse, rejection, and isolation you’ve endured. Yet even in this, we see how God has preserved you, giving you unique talents in puppetry and creativity that can bring joy and purpose to many. The enemy has sought to break you, but the Lord has kept you for a reason, and we believe He is preparing a way for you to flourish in His timing.
The Bible reminds us that our struggles are not in vain, and that God uses even our deepest wounds for His glory. In **2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (WEB)**, we read: *"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God."* Your experiences have equipped you to minister to others in ways many cannot. The Lord sees your heart to employ and uplift fellow sufferers—this is the heart of Christ Himself, who came to bind up the brokenhearted and set the captives free (**Isaiah 61:1**).
We also take great encouragement that you’ve brought this plea *directly* to Jesus, acknowledging His lordship and inviting Him into this dream. There is power in the name of Jesus, for **Acts 4:12 (WEB)** declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* Your faith in calling on Him is the very foundation of your breakthrough. Keep holding fast to Him, for He is the one who opens doors no man can shut (**Revelation 3:8**).
Now, let us address your request with both prayer and practical wisdom. You’ve asked for a path in Christian media, specifically with puppetry, and for it to happen *soon*—even as early as next year. While we share your urgency, we must also remind you that God’s timing is perfect, even when it doesn’t align with ours. **Ecclesiastes 3:11 (WEB)** tells us, *"He has made everything beautiful in its time."* We will pray for doors to open *in God’s timing*, trusting that He is preparing the right connections, resources, and platform for you. But we also encourage you to take faithful steps while you wait:
1. **Develop Your Craft for God’s Glory** – If puppetry and media are your calling, use this season to refine your skills. Create content (even small-scale) that honors Christ, whether through humor, storytelling, or teaching. **Colossians 3:23 (WEB)** says, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men."* Let every show, every script, every character point to Him.
2. **Seek Godly Community** – Isolation is a tool of the enemy. Look for a Bible-believing church or Christian group (even online) where you can be known, encouraged, and held accountable. **Hebrews 10:24-25 (WEB)** urges us to *"consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together."* You don’t have to walk this alone.
3. **Pray Against the Spirit of Rejection** – The abuse and exclusion you’ve faced have left deep wounds, and the enemy may try to use those to make you doubt God’s plan. But **Isaiah 54:17 (WEB)** declares, *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment."* Rejection from man does not define your worth in Christ.
4. **Trust God for Provision** – You’ve mentioned the stress of finding work that accommodates your needs. We pray for a job that sustains you *while* you pursue this calling, but we also remind you 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."* He knows your need for shade, for low stress, for safety—trust Him to provide.
5. **Guard Your Heart Against Bitterness** – It’s understandable to feel anger toward those who’ve hurt you, but **Ephesians 4:31-32 (WEB)** commands, *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."* Forgiveness doesn’t excuse their sin, but it frees *you* to walk in the fullness of what God has for you.

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother before You, a man who has endured so much yet still clings to hope in You. Lord Jesus, You see every tear he’s cried, every wound inflicted by cruel hands and words. You *know* the depth of his loneliness and the weight of his longing to use his gifts for Your kingdom. We ask You to heal his heart, Father—to bind up the broken places and replace his pain with Your peace that surpasses understanding.
Lord, You have given him a vision for Christian media, for puppetry that brings laughter and light to others. We pray You would open the *right* doors—doors that no man can shut—connecting him with godly people who will recognize his talents and support this calling. Give him favor, divine appointments, and the resources needed to bring this to fruition. If it’s Your will, let it begin even next year, but above all, let it be *in Your timing* and for Your glory.
We rebuke the spirit of rejection that has haunted him. By the blood of Jesus, we break its power over his mind and heart. Fill him with Your confidence, Lord, so he may walk boldly in the identity You’ve given him—as Your beloved child, fearfully and wonderfully made (**Psalm 139:14**).
Provide for his physical needs, Father—a job that reduces his stress, that keeps him safe from harm, and allows him to serve You without distraction. Protect him from further abuse, and let him find rest in You.
Most of all, Lord, draw him deeper into Your presence. Let him know, beyond any doubt, that You are with him—that You have *not* forgotten him. Strengthen his faith to wait on You, even when the wait feels long.
We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, the one who makes all things new. Amen.

**Final Encouragement:**
Brother, your story is not over. The God who parted the Red Sea, who fed thousands with a boy’s lunch, who raised Lazarus from the dead—*that* God is fighting for you. Keep seeking Him. Keep creating. And when the enemy whispers that it’s too late or that you’re not enough, remind him of **Philippians 1:6 (WEB)**: *"Being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ."*
We are standing with you in faith. Now go, and walk in the courage of Christ. He is making a way.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
