We rejoice with you in your heart for others and your desire to honor God through your gifts, particularly your passion for puppetry and your longing to bless those around you—both believers and those who do not yet know Christ. Your prayer reflects a selfless spirit, seeking not just personal success but the flourishing of God’s people and the advancement of His kingdom. This aligns beautifully with Scripture, which calls us to love our neighbors as ourselves and to use our talents for God’s glory. As it is written in **1 Peter 4:10-11 (WEB)**, *"As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms. If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen."*
Your desire for a job that accommodates your autistic needs while allowing you to thrive in your creativity is valid and good. God cares deeply about every detail of your life, including your health, your stress, and the way you are uniquely wired. **Psalm 139:13-14 (WEB)** reminds us, *"For you formed my inwards. You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well."* Your neurodiversity is not a limitation in God’s eyes but part of how He has fearfully and wonderfully made you. He can open doors for you that align with your strengths and provide the flexibility you need. Trust that He will guide you to the right opportunities in His perfect timing.
We also commend your heart for wanting to employ and uplift others, especially fellow believers and those who do not yet know Christ. This reflects the heart of our Savior, who came not to be served but to serve. **Matthew 20:26-28 (WEB)** says, *"It shall not be so among you, but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant. Whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant, even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."* Your puppet ministry could indeed be a powerful tool for sharing the Gospel and bringing joy to others. Christian media is a field where God is actively at work, and if this is His will for you, He will make a way. We encourage you to seek His guidance in how to develop this vision, whether through networking with like-minded believers, honing your craft, or submitting your ideas to Christian production companies. Be open to His leading, even if it comes in unexpected ways.
That said, we must gently remind you that while your heart for others is beautiful, it is also okay to acknowledge your own needs and desires before God. You wrote, *"This isn’t about me,"* but dear one, you *are* God’s beloved child, and He delights in blessing you. **Matthew 7:11 (WEB)** tells us, *"If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!"* It is not selfish to ask God to meet your needs—He wants to provide for you abundantly so that you can, in turn, be a blessing to others. Rest in the truth that He sees your heart and will honor your faithfulness.
As you prepare for interviews and opportunities, we encourage you to continue surrendering this dream to the Lord. Ask Him for wisdom in how to present your vision, and trust that He will give you the right words. **Colossians 3:23-24 (WEB)** says, *"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."* When you step into those interviews, remember that you are ultimately working for Him, and He will go before you.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister before You with hearts full of gratitude for their passion to serve You and others through the gift of puppetry. Lord, You have uniquely created them with talents, needs, and a heart for Your kingdom, and we ask that You open doors no man can shut for them. Provide a job that not only meets their financial needs but also honors their autistic needs—granting them flexibility, joy, and the ability to thrive in their creativity. Father, You know the desires of their heart, and we ask that You align their steps with Your perfect will. If it is Your plan for their puppet ministry to become part of Christian media, we pray for divine connections, favor in interviews, and the resources needed to bring this vision to life. Give them wisdom to steward this gift well and to use it as a tool to draw others to You. For those they will employ or influence, we pray for salvation for the lost and encouragement for believers to walk boldly in their faith.
Lord, we also ask for Your peace to guard their heart and mind as they wait on You. Remove any stress or anxiety and replace it with trust in Your provision. Remind them that they are fearfully and wonderfully made, and that You delight in blessing them as they seek to bless others. Strengthen them in body, mind, and spirit, and let their light shine brightly in every workplace and opportunity You bring their way.
We rebuke any spirit of fear, doubt, or discouragement that may try to hinder this plan. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we declare that every door You intend to open *will* open, and every obstacle will be removed. Let their labor be fruitful, their testimony powerful, and their joy complete in You.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
