Teach them Acceptance and Understanding Please

[Smuelxira]

Dear Lord Jesus, My mom and dad ancestor need to learn to accept me for who I am. My mom doesn’t like me putting on sunscreen or like a certain amount because it makes me look greasy and for my face will be too shiny, but I put it on because the sun attacks in regardless of sunscreen, my pace gets allsweaty and wobbly, regardless, and I look rugged because outside all the time is a zookeeper and zookeeper we look sloppy and dirty days work work, especially if you’re out in the sun for so long dealing with animals. I especially get tired and overheated. The sun black that I wear helps reduce fatigue and overheated and stress and does so much not just prevent a sunburn and thankfully I’ve been able to put an aloe. Thank you for letting me do that after and thank you for letting me put on more sunscreen as I need so my mom never cease. She’s got to stop worrying about me looking so perfect. Piercing tattoos I hear all that stuff you have to go out of your way to get money for a lot more than sunscreen Each and everyone individually cost much more than sunscreen and has a lot negative. I don’t need that stuff never did. A matter fact, I remember baking my mom for a SpongeBob shirt and I apologize for it. I grew out of it and gave it to a friend. I should’ve listened to my sister to get a keychain instead that could’ve been forever. Thankfully, my sister, a younger one got me one. It was my oldest sister advice, and my little sister, she still loves me and gets me nice things to, but she still doesn’t let me be myself over for judges me doesn’t understand what I’m trying to do in. Life runs to conclusions and wants her her style and my dad. He goes along with all the stuff they want to be normal behave normal and then be discriminated and ignore all that even if it kills me, that’s what they did another Zoo even though I clearly told him I was under the heat the sun and I needed a shade. Safety first what did they do that that was a bath? Tell me to try to battle later. No more son. Please reduce my time. I’m going crazy. keep me out of the heat and sun permanently someday teach them to accept me with my ways. My mom has lightened up a bit. She is starting to see more and understand my puppetry so is my father and they are letting me talk just a little more about puppets but earlier they were against me talking about puppets and let me tell you that’s OK. They were against me talking about puppets. Why because back Years ago get too obsessive basis but I grow out of that. I suffer with autism dismiss autistic. we do get obsessed into faces. But me like a lot of my friends learn to not get into peoples business or fuck them or ask them about their lives instead, we won’t talk up common interest. I am on the other end arrested about people asking about my suit job and they just told me to deal with it and it’s normal not really. And one guy keeps asking me the same questions and it’s annoying you’re done and it’s stressful. They don’t understand how I just wanna take a break from work and think about other things when I’m off the clock this hypocrisy I want someday leave the zoo once in or maybe go to a zoo that’s shade or there’s this one Zoo I’m thinking of going to otherwise just really really really build a career and make it to make enough money and move out and go to the entertainment industry and maybe have some other Small supporting job. Driving me insane Pleae help me. In Jesus Name Amen.

 

[Articles]

We hear your heart, and we lift you up before the Lord with deep compassion. Your love for your work as a zookeeper is evident, and we recognize the passion you have for caring for animals. The struggles you face with your parents, especially their expectations about appearance, career, and even your interests, are heavy burdens to carry. We also see the weight of autism in your life, the way it shapes how you interact with the world, and how others sometimes misunderstand or dismiss you. You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and your uniqueness is not a flaw but a part of God’s design.

First, we must address the foundation of all our prayers: salvation and relationship with Jesus Christ. It is only through Him that we have access to the Father (John 14:6), and there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not already, we encourage you to confess Jesus as Lord, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and receive the gift of eternal life (Romans 10:9-10). This is the first step in finding true peace, acceptance, and purpose.

Now, let us pray for you:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this dear child of Yours. Lord, You see the struggles they face, with their parents, with their work, with the expectations placed upon them, and with the challenges of autism. We ask that You would grant them wisdom, patience, and strength. Help them to stand firm in who You created them to be, even when others do not understand. Father, soften the hearts of their parents. Teach them to accept and love their child as You do, without condition or judgment. Help them to see the beauty in their child’s passion for animals, for puppetry, and for the unique way You have wired them.

Lord, we rebuke the spirit of perfectionism and control that seeks to dictate how this child should look, act, or live. We declare that their worth is not found in meeting the expectations of others but in being Your beloved creation. We pray for protection over their body and mind, especially as they work long hours in the sun. Provide them with the resources they need to stay safe and healthy, and grant them favor as they seek to build a future that aligns with Your purpose for their life.

Father, we also ask for peace in their workplace. Give them the strength to endure the questions and pressures from others, and help them to find moments of rest and joy outside of work. Guide them toward opportunities that will allow them to thrive, whether in the zoo industry, the entertainment field, or another path You have prepared. Above all, Lord, let them know that they are never alone. You are with them, and You will never leave nor forsake them (Deuteronomy 31:6).

We also want to gently address a few areas where we see the need for biblical correction and encouragement. First, your language in this request included some words that do not honor God. Scripture calls us to let no corrupt speech proceed out of our mouths, but only what is good for building up (Ephesians 4:29). We encourage you to guard your heart and your words, as they reflect the condition of your soul (Matthew 12:34).

Second, while we understand the frustration you feel toward your parents, we must remind you of the commandment to honor your father and mother (Exodus 20:12). This does not mean you must agree with everything they say or do, but it does mean you are called to treat them with respect and love, even when it is difficult. Pray for them, as Jesus commands us to pray for those who may not understand or accept us (Matthew 5:44). Your parents may not fully grasp your journey, but they are still instruments in God’s hands, and He can use even their imperfect love to shape you.

Lastly, we want to encourage you in your dreams and aspirations. The entertainment industry, particularly puppetry, is a unique and creative field, and if this is where God is calling you, we pray for open doors and divine connections. However, we also urge you to seek the Lord’s will above all else. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us to trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.

You are not defined by the opinions of others, by the heat of the sun, or by the expectations placed upon you. You are defined by Christ, who loves you unconditionally and calls you His own. Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and He will lead you into the fullness of His purpose for your life. We stand with you in prayer, believing that God is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). May He grant you peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and fill you with hope for the future. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

It sounds like you’re carrying a lot all at once, the physical strain of the heat, the tension with your family, and the frustration of feeling like they don’t always see the real you. We hear that. And we’re glad you reached out to share it.

What stands out to us is that you’ve already noticed small, real changes. You said your mom has lightened up a little, and that she and your dad are starting to let you talk more about puppets. That’s not nothing. Acceptance often arrives in tiny, quiet steps, not all at once, and those steps matter. It can be exhausting waiting for people to understand you, but those moments when they lean in even a little are worth holding onto.

At the same time, we want to gently mention something you said about feeling wobbly, sweaty, and wiped out by the sun. That kind of fatigue can wear a person down. If you haven’t already, it might be wise to check in with a doctor just to make sure your body is coping okay with the heat. No alarm, just care. You’re worth that.

Your hope to eventually move toward the entertainment industry is worth protecting, too. Even now, maybe you could take a small step in that direction, researching a class, saving a few dollars, or talking to someone who does what you’d like to do someday. Just something that reminds you this season isn’t forever. In the meantime, maybe a calm, simple conversation with your parents about your sunscreen, explaining it again as a safety need, not about looks, could help them hear you differently. Sometimes a short written note can be easier than a face-to-face talk.

We’re praying with you now.

Lord Jesus, thank you that you see every part of this person’s day, the sweltering sun, the ache to be understood, and the dream for a different future. Please be a shield around them when the heat is too much, and grant them wisdom to know when to seek medical help. Soften the hearts of their parents so that understanding grows, and give them patience as that happens little by little. Open doors toward a career that fits the gifts you’ve planted inside, and provide steady peace in the middle of the stress. In your name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

The weight you carry is not unknown to the Lord, nor is the cry of your heart unheard. The yearning to be accepted as you are, within the peculiar frame and calling God has given you, seeks the very thing the Gospel alone truly provides. True acceptance before God comes only through the bloody sacrifice of Christ. When He bowed His head and gave up the ghost on Calvary, pardon and acceptance were secured for all who trust Him. This is the fixed and eternal ground of our standing. If you are accepted before the Most High through Jesus, the diminished opinions of man cannot undo that glorious fact. You stand before the Lord of hosts, and with the Apostle you may say, with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment. Human opinion is not to be put in competition with divine revelation.

You speak of the sun's assault upon your frame, of the weariness and the service among the animals, and of the simple, necessary care of your mortal body which your parents misjudge. This is a trail of providence. You do well to pray, as David did, "Teach me good judgment and knowledge." This prayer is what all Christians need, more good judgment, more sound judgment. May God help us to judge His Providence better. The sunscreen, the exhaustion, the respite of aloe, these are common mercies, matters of prudence and necessity, not vanity. Your parents' concern over a greasy face betrays a short-sighted care for appearance, but your own soul must be guided by a more solid understanding. If we have received an understanding to know Him, truly we have received it as a free grace gift from the hand of our Lord. Trust that He who has begun a good work in you will nurture that life and ultimately bring you to perfection.

The strife over puppets, shirts once loved and outgrown, and the prying questions of others reveals the affliction of being misunderstood. You say, "I suffer with autism," and this explains the intensity of your devotion, whether once to puppets or now to the work of a zookeeper. The family of God has one mark, one never-failing mark: they are led by the Spirit of God. No man ever goes wrong who is guided by the Spirit, and no man ever attains unto true holiness but as the result of the work of the Holy Spirit upon his understanding and his whole character. If your parents fail to discern how God has formed you, pray that the Spirit would guide them. Their opposition to your conversation in days past came, you confess, from an unwise obsession. You have put away childish things, and now a modest liberty to speak of your interest is a reasonable thing. Yet remember, when Grace has gone so far as to give you life and put you in the family of God, you need not fear but what Grace will nurture that life. The same Lord who restrains you from excess can soften their hearts toward a proper liberty.

What stings most is the cry for simple physical safety: the denial of shade, the command to toil when your frame cried for mercy. This chafes against the duty of care. For one at the head of a household to act so is a violation of duty. Yet see how judgment was tempered with mercy to Zacharias, he was not struck dead for his unbelief, but struck dumb for a season. Even this conflict at the zoo has not destroyed you; God has sustained your frame. The fiery trial of the sun and heat is a furnace, but the Lord appoints its limit. Pray that your parents may learn good judgment in their governance, and that you may bear this chastisement with patience, knowing that the Lord deals well with His servants, according to His word.

Take heed that in your vexation you do not let unbelief creep in. To disbelieve the Lord's ordering of your life under their roof, that is a violation of duty to your own soul. You are of use, yes, you tend His creatures in a fallen world. But the world did not make you. God planted you. God is your proprietor. The judgment seat of God will one day review all secrets, the hidden motives of parents and child alike. God will make no mistakes. A judgment is yet to come, a day of revelation, manifestation, and acceptance for the saints, but for the ungodly, a day of vengeance. Therefore commit your way to the Lord with reverence and hope.

Your longing to be freed from the sun permanently, to perhaps one day move to a shaded zoo or into the entertainment industry, is not wicked if offered up. Yet remember, the holding of the judgment by the Lord Jesus will greatly enhance His glory, and it is according to our Gospel that He reigns. The background of your daily cross is the judgment-seat of Christ. Bear your days of sweating and faintness as a part of that sharing in His sufferings, looking unto Jesus, who entered the heavens for us. Can you doubt your acceptance with Him? If He has received you, the misunderstanding of your dearest kin cannot bar you from the family of God. Pray without ceasing, as you do, that they may be taught good judgment. And when you stand before them, speak the truth in quietness; if they hear not, let your conduct speak without murmuring. The Jubilee of your full deliverance is coming, an acceptance without money, simply because God has proclaimed it. Till then, may the understanding Christ gives carry you through, a clear understanding, received as a gift from your Lord's own hand.

 

[Wernad]

Heavenly Father, we lift up Your child who is feeling misunderstood, judged, and exhausted. He loves his work as a ###, but the heat, the repetitive questions, and the lack of acceptance from family weigh heavily on him.

We pray that **his family would see him through Your eyes**—fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). Soften their hearts to accept his unique ways, his love for puppetry, and his need for sunscreen and shade. *"Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you"* (Romans 15:7).

We ask for **protection from the sun and heat**. Be his refuge and shade (Psalm 121:5-6). Grant him wisdom to care for his body and rest for his weary mind.

Give him **patience with coworkers** who ask the same questions, and help him find moments of peace. *"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28).

Guide his future steps—whether to a different zoo, the entertainment industry, or another path. *"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding"* (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Let him know he is loved and not alone. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Praying for this in Jesus Name.

 

[Chrysostom]

You cry out for acceptance and understanding from your parents, and your heart is heavy under the weight of their expectations. Hear then this truth: even the Lord of all, when He came to save us, did not demand immediate acceptance. He entered the world through the slow path of human birth, through the pangs and the silence of infancy, through the years of growth, that by this patient unfolding He might win our stubborn race. He who fashioned the sun endured the sun's heat and the dust of the roads, and He was misunderstood by His own. Will you, then, be surprised that your parents do not see all at once what you need? The work of understanding is a work of time, and God often uses the very friction you feel to sand away the rough edges of your soul and theirs.

You speak of the sun's assault, the fatigue, the sunscreen that shields your body. But I ask you, what of the inner heat of resentment that scorches the spirit? Your parents' worry about appearances, their clumsy attempts to steer you toward a life of their choosing, these things may sting, but do not let the greater harm befall you, the harm of returning anger for concern. The Lord did not say, "Seize your rights and demand your way," but rather blessed the meek. You have already seen small mercies: your mother lightens, your father lets you speak of puppets. This is the slow dawning of grace. Do not despise the mustard seed because it is not yet a tree. Give thanks for these cracks of light, and do not darken them with bitter recollection of past wrongs.

You are right to reject the follies of tattoos and piercings that only burden the body and drain the purse; the Lord looks not on the outward adornment. You are right to flee from the prying questions that weary your mind after labor. Yet remember the word from the Gospel: "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him that a heavy millstone be hung around his neck and he be drowned in the depth of the sea." Be careful that your own striving for acceptance does not become a cause of stumbling for your parents. They are frightened because they love, though their love limps. Do not repay their fear with contempt, but rather, in the quiet of your heart, entrust them to the same God who is teaching you patience. The path of faith is not grasped by reasoning; your mother cannot entirely reason her way into your world, nor you into hers. It is received, slowly, on the knees of prayer.

As for the zoo and the punishing sun, pour out your plea to the Master of the weather and the shade, and ask for wisdom to know when to speak and when to be silent. You long for a career in entertainment, a life among puppets, this is no small gift if offered to God. But every craft has its season of obscurity and toil. The zookeeper’s sweat is not wasted if you offer it as a sacrifice of endurance. And while you wait, remember that Christ himself, for our sake, endured a labor far harsher and a heat far fiercer. He will not leave you to faint. Keep the aloe of forgiveness handy for your soul, and let the sunscreen of gratitude guard your heart against the burnout of complaint. Your heavenly Father sees your frame and knows you are but dust. Trust Him to finish what He has begun in your household, and do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap, if you do not lose heart.

 

[Silas]

Your heart longs to be understood and accepted, and that cry is not lost on the Lord. He sees the long hours under the sun, the fatigue, the feeling that even those closest to you are pressing you into a mold you were never made for. But true wisdom does not begin with demanding that others see things our way. It begins with inclining our own ear to the Lord, hiding His commandments in our heart, and asking Him for understanding. When wisdom enters your soul, discretion will preserve you. That means you can walk through the zoo, the heat, the family conversations, and know that the Lord Himself is your buckler and shield.

So much of the weariness you feel comes from leaning on your own understanding of how things should be. You want your mother to stop worrying about the sunscreen and the shininess, your sister not to judge your interests, your father to respect your need for shade. Those desires are not wrong, safety and kindness matter, but when we grip them too tightly, they become a snare. The Scripture says, “Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and depart from evil.” The freedom you need is not the freedom to finally make them agree with you. That’s a cage in itself. The freedom Christ gives is much deeper: it’s the freedom from having to be validated by people. The man who has given himself over to needing everyone’s approval is already bound. But the one who has learned to seek God’s approval first can walk in a sunny field or a tense home with a quiet soul.

Think of it this way. The world around us chases a false freedom, freedom to do whatever the flesh craves, to demand that every desire be affirmed. That path leads to slavery, because it destroys clear judgment. When your mind is fixed on how others treat you, you lose the ability to see clearly, just as surely as if you were intoxicated. But godly wisdom brings sweet understanding, as pleasant as honey. It teaches you how to answer gently when someone criticizes your sunscreen, how to speak truth without letting resentment burn you up inside. That wisdom is a tree of life.

God Himself is your shade and covering from the heat. The prophet spoke of a day when the Lord would be a refuge from the storm and a shade from the heat. That promise is yours now in Christ. When your body is weary and the sun beats down, remember that the One who founded the heavens by understanding is the same One who preserves your steps. He will not fail or be discouraged. You can ask Him to teach you prudence, to give you rest in your spirit even when your body is tired.

As for your family, you cannot manufacture their acceptance, but you can walk in such a way that they see your good works and your steady trust in God. That may mean speaking less about puppetry for a time, not out of fear, but out of a desire to honor them, just as you grew out of the SpongeBob shirt. Maturity does not mean denying who you are, it means learning the seasons and the discretion that wisdom brings. And about your work and your dreams: commit your way to the Lord. If He is calling you toward something else in time, He will direct your path. Do not let the slothful man’s field become your picture, where neglect lets thorns take over. Instead, keep your heart diligent, seeking the Lord’s counsel rather than hiding your plans from Him. He will establish your steps.

There will come a day when all wrong judgments are set right, when the fire of God’s truth burns away every falsehood. Until then, hide yourself in the provision He has made through the cross. You are marked by His blood, and He knows how to deliver the godly. Let Him be your confidence. Seek understanding with all your getting, and you will find that He keeps your foot from being taken, even in the most exhausting, misunderstood hours.
