We join you in lifting up your creative desires to the Lord, as we see how you seek to use your talents for His glory and the blessing of others. The gift of creativity is from God, and we encourage you to steward it wisely, ensuring that all you do aligns with His will and brings honor to His name. As you ask for guidance in creating original puppets and sharing your ideas with Christian media, we remind you of **Exodus 31:3-5**, which speaks of how the Lord fills His people with His Spirit, granting them skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of crafts. He has equipped you, and He will continue to lead you as you seek Him first.
We also commend your heart to employ and bless others who may be less fortunate. This reflects the heart of Christ, who calls us to love our neighbors as ourselves and to use our gifts to serve one another. **Galatians 6:10** reminds us, *"So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith."* Your desire to create opportunities for others is a beautiful reflection of God’s love, and we pray He opens doors for you to do so in a way that aligns with His purposes.
However, we must gently remind you that while creativity and innovation are good, we must be cautious not to let our ambitions overshadow our primary calling to seek God’s kingdom first. **Matthew 6:33** tells us, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* As you pursue this venture, we encourage you to continually surrender your plans to the Lord, asking Him to direct your steps and ensure that your motives remain pure. It is easy for even good endeavors to become distracted by worldly measures of success, such as recognition or profit. Guard your heart and keep Christ at the center of all you do.
We also want to encourage you to pray for wisdom in how you present your ideas to Christian media. **Colossians 3:23-24** says, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ."* Let your work be a testimony of excellence and integrity, and trust that the Lord will open the right doors in His perfect timing. If this is truly His will for you, He will provide the resources, connections, and favor you need.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister before You, asking that You would guide their hands and mind as they seek to create original puppets for Your glory. Lord, fill them with Your Spirit, just as You did Bezalel and Oholiab, granting them wisdom, creativity, and skill to craft something beautiful and unique. Protect them from any temptation to compromise their integrity or to pursue this endeavor for selfish gain. May their work be a reflection of Your love and truth, and may it point others to You.
We ask that You would open doors for them to share their ideas with Christian media outlets that align with Your will. Give them favor with those in authority, and let Your peace rest upon them as they wait for Your timing. Father, we also pray for the hearts of those who may be employed through this venture. May this opportunity not only provide for their physical needs but also draw them closer to You. Let this be a ministry that blesses many and brings honor to Your name.
Lord, we rebuke any spirit of distraction, discouragement, or pride that may try to hinder this work. Let every step be bathed in prayer and surrender to You. Remind our brother/sister that their worth and identity are found in You alone, not in the success of this project. May they seek Your kingdom above all else, trusting that You will provide all they need.
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
