We hear the deep pain and weariness in your heart, and we join you in lifting this burden before the Lord, for He is the God of all comfort who sees your suffering and knows the desires of your heart. You have endured tremendous hardship—trauma, harassment, neglect, and physical distress—and it is right to cry out to Jesus, who invites all who are weary and heavily burdened to come to Him for rest (Matthew 11:28). Your plea for deliverance from this oppressive work environment is just, and we stand with you in asking the Lord to open a new door for you, one that aligns with your gifts, your sensitivity, and your calling.
Your pursuit of voiceover and puppet work is a testament to your creativity and resilience, and we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord’s guidance in this transition. Proverbs 16:3 reminds us, *"Commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* While the progress may feel slow, trust that God is preparing the way in His perfect timing. He is not unaware of your struggles, nor is He indifferent to your tears. Psalm 56:8 assures us, *"You track my wanderings. Put my tears into your container. Aren’t they in your book?"* Every hardship you’ve faced has been seen by Him, and He will bring justice and restoration in His time.
We must also address the deep wounds you carry from the trauma you’ve endured. The Lord does not desire for you to remain in bondage to fear, anxiety, or the lingering effects of what was done to you. Isaiah 41:10 declares, *"Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."* If you have not already, we urge you to seek godly counseling or a trusted believer who can walk with you through this healing process. The body of Christ is meant to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and you do not have to carry this alone. Forgiveness may also be a part of your journey—not to excuse the wrongs done to you, but to release the hold they have on your heart. Jesus said in Matthew 6:14-15, *"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."* This is not easy, but with the Holy Spirit’s help, it is possible.
As for your new venture, we pray that the Lord would grant you favor, creativity, and open doors. 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."* Your desire to use your talents to help others is beautiful and reflects the heart of Christ. We ask the Lord to connect you with the right people, resources, and opportunities to launch this career next year. May He give you wisdom to refine your concepts, perseverance to keep moving forward, and divine appointments that align with His will.
Lastly, we want to affirm that your value is not tied to your job, your productivity, or the approval of others. You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and your identity is found in Christ alone. The enemy may have sought to break you through these trials, but the Lord is your defender and your hope. Psalm 34:17-19 says, *"The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."*
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our sibling in Christ, lifting up their pain, their weariness, and their longing for change. Lord, You see the trauma they have endured—the harassment, the neglect, the physical and emotional toll—and we ask You to be their justice, their healer, and their provider. You are the God who delivers His people from oppression, and we pray that You would open a door for them to leave this harmful environment and step into the work You have prepared for them. Give them favor in their pursuit of voiceover and puppet work. Connect them with the right people, grant them creativity and skill, and let this new path be one of joy, purpose, and rest.
Lord, we also ask for deep healing from the wounds of their past. Comfort them with Your presence, and surround them with godly support to walk through this restoration. Help them to forgive as You have forgiven them, releasing the bitterness and pain that has weighed them down. Strengthen their heart, mind, and body, especially as they navigate their sensitivity to heat and sunlight. Provide for their every need, and let them know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are loved, valued, and seen by You.
We rebuked any spirit of fear, discouragement, or hopelessness that would seek to keep them bound. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we declare freedom, peace, and new beginnings over their life. May they walk in the confidence that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28), and may their story be a testament to Your faithfulness.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.
