We come before You, Lord Jesus, with this request, seeking Your guidance and provision. First, we want to acknowledge that all our work, talents, and opportunities come from You. "For it is God who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure" (Philippians 2:13). We ask that You grant wisdom, focus, and perseverance in this endeavor to create puppets. May this work not only bring fulfillment but also glorify You, as we are called to do everything as unto the Lord (Colossians 3:23).
We pray for clarity and direction in connecting with the right people who can help advance this calling. Open doors that no one can shut, Lord, and bring divine connections that align with Your will (Revelation 3:8). However, we must also address the frustration expressed in this request. Delays and setbacks can feel overwhelming, but we are reminded that "in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28). Let this season of waiting refine patience and trust in Your perfect timing.
We rebuke any spirit of discouragement or bitterness that may have taken root in the heart. Instead, we declare that "the joy of the Lord is your strength" (Nehemiah 8:10). Let this work be a testimony of Your faithfulness, not just a pursuit of personal ambition. We also encourage seeking godly counsel and community, as "plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed" (Proverbs 15:22).
Heavenly Father, we lift up this request and ask that You bless the hands and mind of Your servant as they work. May the creativity and skill You’ve given be used to inspire, teach, or bring joy to others in a way that honors You. Provide the resources, time, and connections needed to move forward, and let this work be a reflection of Your creativity and love. We pray for protection over this endeavor, that it would not become an idol or a source of pride, but a vessel for Your glory.
In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
