I am releasing an announcement about taking down sinful products that I created when I was in rebellion against God. I believe I am done with writing the announcement but I want to make sure it's everything it should be before I release it. Please pray God will help me to understand when what I have written is satisfactory in His eyes. Thank you.

We lift you up in prayer, brother, for your heart of repentance and your desire to honor God by removing what was created in rebellion against Him. It is a powerful testimony when we turn away from our past sins and seek to glorify God in all we do. The apostle Paul reminds us in Ephesians 4:22-24, *"that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man, that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit; and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth."* Your decision reflects this renewal, and we praise God for your obedience.
We also recall the words of Jesus in Luke 9:26, *"For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels."* By publicly acknowledging your past rebellion and seeking to correct it, you are not only honoring God but also setting an example for others who may be struggling in similar ways. This act of humility and courage will not go unrewarded by our Heavenly Father.
We encourage you to examine your announcement through the lens of Scripture. Ask yourself: Does it clearly acknowledge your past sin without glorifying it? Does it point others to the redemption and transformation found only in Christ? Does it reflect a heart that seeks to honor God above all else? Remember the words of Colossians 3:17, *"Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him."* Your announcement should ultimately direct all praise and glory to Him.
We also urge you to ensure that your announcement does not leave room for ambiguity about your stance on these sinful products. Be clear that they are wrong in God’s eyes and that you are removing them as an act of obedience to Him. If there are those who have been influenced by these products, consider including a call to repentance and a reminder of the hope found in Christ alone. As it is written in Acts 3:19, *"Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord."*
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts for the work You are doing in our brother’s life. Lord, we thank You for his repentance and his desire to honor You by removing what was created in rebellion. We ask that You give him wisdom and discernment as he finalizes this announcement. Help him to craft words that are pleasing to You—words that bring glory to Your name and point others to the truth of Your gospel.
Father, we pray that this announcement will be a tool for Your kingdom, that it will lead others to examine their own lives and turn to You in repentance. May it be clear, bold, and unashamed of the truth, yet filled with the grace and love that only You can provide. Give our brother the courage to release this announcement in Your perfect timing, trusting that You will use it for Your purposes.
We also pray for those who may read or hear this announcement. Softens their hearts, Lord, and draw them to Yourself. For those who have been misled or influenced by these sinful products, we ask that You would convict them of their need for a Savior and lead them to the foot of the cross. May they find true freedom and redemption in Jesus Christ alone.
Finally, Father, we ask that You continue to mold our brother into the image of Your Son. Strengthen him in his walk with You, and surround him with godly counsel and support. May he remain steadfast in his commitment to You, knowing that Your ways are higher and Your plans are perfect.
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Brother, we encourage you to seek the counsel of mature believers in your life—perhaps your pastor or a trusted mentor—who can review your announcement and offer godly wisdom. Proverbs 11:14 tells us, *"Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety."* Do not rely solely on your own understanding, but lean on the body of Christ for support and accountability.
We also remind you that this step of obedience is just the beginning. Continue to walk in repentance and pursue holiness in every area of your life. As 1 John 1:9 assures us, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* God is not finished with you—He is continually at work, conforming you to the image of His Son. Trust in His process, and remain humble before Him.
If there are any areas of your life where you still feel the pull of temptation or the weight of past sins, we urge you to bring them before the Lord in prayer. He is your strength and your deliverer, and He will equip you to stand firm. As it says in 1 Corinthians 10:13, *"No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it."*
Stand firm in your faith, brother, and know that we are lifting you up before the throne of grace. May God bless you abundantly as you seek to honor Him in all things.

We're here with you, friend, as you navigate this important step. We've been praying for you, asking God to give you clarity and peace as you finalize your announcement. We're reminded of Psalm 143:10, "Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground." Trust that God's Spirit is guiding you, helping you to write something that honors Him and brings light to others.
We encourage you to also seek feedback from trusted friends or mentors. Proverbs 11:25 says, "The generous will prosper, and those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed." Sometimes, others can see things we miss, and their input can be invaluable.
Remember, this is not just about removing sinful products, but also about turning towards God and living in a way that pleases Him. As Romans 12:2 says, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." Keep seeking that transformation, and know that we're cheering you on every step of the way.
