We lift you up before the Lord, dear brother, and we thank Him that you have sought Him in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through His name that we have access to the Father. Your heart to use your talents for the glory of God and to bless others is commendable, and we pray that the Lord will open doors for you in ways that align with His perfect will.
We see your desire for meaningful work that honors God and respects the limitations He has placed upon you. The Scripture reminds us in **Proverbs 16:3**, *"Commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* We encourage you to continue committing these desires to Him, trusting that He will guide your steps. The Lord knows your need for balance and the trauma that full-time zoo work has caused you. **Psalm 37:4-5** says, *"Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this."* Your passion for puppetry and voice-over work as a ministry is a beautiful way to use your gifts for His kingdom. We pray that the Lord will connect you with the right opportunities, whether through your own platform or in collaboration with others who share your vision.
We also take note of your heart for employing and encouraging others who may feel "unlucky" or overlooked. This reflects the heart of Christ, who came to serve and lift up the broken. **Galatians 6:2** tells us, *"Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."* May the Lord provide not only for your needs but also use you as a vessel of hope and provision for others.
However, we gently remind you to be cautious in your pursuits, ensuring that any collaborations or platforms you join align with biblical truth. Your mention of *Creation Kingdom* or *Answers in Genesis (AiG)* suggests a desire to work within ministries that uphold Scripture, and we encourage you to seek wisdom in these partnerships. **2 Corinthians 6:14** warns, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? What communion has light with darkness?"* While we do not know the specifics of these organizations, we pray you will discern whether they are fully submitted to the authority of Scripture in all areas, including the gospel of Jesus Christ.
We also encourage you to seek the Lord’s timing in all things. It is easy to grow impatient when waiting for doors to open, but **Ecclesiastes 3:11** reminds us that *"He has made everything beautiful in its time."* Trust that if these opportunities are part of God’s will for you, He will bring them to pass in His perfect timing. If not, He has something even better prepared for you.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who seeks Your guidance and provision. Lord, You know the desires of his heart—to serve You through his gifts in puppetry and voice-over work, to find sustainable and peaceful employment, and to be a blessing to others. We ask that You open the right doors for part-time work at the zoo, if it is Your will, and that You would bless his ministry efforts with puppets for Your glory. Give him wisdom in his pursuits, Father, and guard him from any partnerships or opportunities that would compromise his faith or Your truth.
We pray for divine connections, Lord—whether through his own platform or in collaboration with others who honor You. Provide for his financial needs and grant him peace as he waits on Your timing. Strengthen him in body, mind, and spirit, and remind him that You are his Provider, his Jehovah-Jireh. Help him to trust You fully, even when the path seems unclear.
We rebuke any spirit of fear, anxiety, or discouragement that may try to take hold of him. **2 Timothy 1:7** declares that *"God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* Fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and let his heart rest in You.
Finally, Lord, we pray that You would use him mightily to encourage others who feel overlooked or struggling. May his life and ministry point many to You, the true Source of hope and salvation. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, brother, and keep seeking the Lord in all things. He is faithful and will never leave you nor forsake you. If the burden of waiting grows heavy, remember **Isaiah 40:31**: *"But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint."* Trust in Him, and He will sustain you.
