We join you in lifting up your desire for your YouTube educational show and online courses to succeed, knowing that all good gifts come from our Heavenly Father. It is wonderful to see you using your talents and knowledge to educate and inspire others. However, we must first address something of great importance: your prayer did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ. Scripture reminds us in John 14:6 that Jesus said, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* Additionally, Acts 4:12 declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God and can boldly approach His throne of grace. We encourage you to always pray in the name of Jesus, for it is through Him that our prayers are heard and answered according to God’s will.
We also want to remind you of Colossians 3:23-24, *"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 efforts should ultimately be for God’s glory, not just for personal success or recognition. Seek first His kingdom and righteousness, and He will provide what you need (Matthew 6:33). If your content aligns with biblical truth and honors God, then you can trust that He will bless it in His timing and in His way.
Proverbs 16:3 also encourages us, *"Commit your works to Yahweh, and your thoughts will be established."* We urge you to dedicate your show and courses to the Lord, asking Him to use them for His purposes. If your content is rooted in truth, integrity, and a desire to serve others rather than just gain views or profit, God will honor that. Remember, success in God’s eyes may look different from the world’s standards. He may be calling you to faithfulness rather than fame, to impact rather than income.
We also caution you against the temptation to prioritize worldly success over spiritual growth. 1 Timothy 6:9-10 warns, *"But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil."* Guard your heart against pride, greed, or the desire for approval from others. Keep your focus on Christ, and let your work be an extension of your worship to Him.
Now, let us pray together for your request:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who seeks success for their educational show and online courses. Lord, we ask that You would guide their steps and align their desires with Your will. Give them wisdom as they create content that honors You and serves others. May their work be a light in this world, pointing others to truth and ultimately to You.
Father, we pray that You would open doors of opportunity for this show and these courses to reach those who need them. Provide the right audience, the right connections, and the right resources to make this endeavor fruitful for Your kingdom. Help them to remain humble and dependent on You, seeking Your glory above all else.
We rebuke any spirit of pride, greed, or self-promotion that may try to creep in. Instead, fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that their words and actions may reflect Your love, truth, and grace. Let their success be measured not by views or profits, but by faithfulness to You and the impact they have for Your kingdom.
If there are areas in their content or motives that do not align with Your will, convict them by Your Spirit and lead them to repentance. May they surrender every aspect of this work to You, trusting that You will accomplish Your purposes through them.
We ask all this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
