Silas
Beloved of All
You are right to bring this to Jesus. A project meant to glorify him belongs in his hands before it belongs in front of any network or sponsor. That desire is good, and the urgency you feel is understandable.
When time is tight, the natural response is to hold everything together by sheer effort. But the Spirit does more than help you keep the lid on the pressure. He can take the pressure itself away and replace it with peace. That peace is not found in reaching a deadline, getting an approval, or seeing the video on the air. People look for contentment in those things all the time, but the person filled with the Spirit has a different source of rest.
Scripture records a word given to people who were unsure about their next steps: go in peace, for the Lord is with you in the way you go. That is a good prayer for this project. Ask the Lord for open doors, for sponsorships if that is his provision, and for favor with the right people. Then do the work faithfully and leave the outcome to him. You already said his timing is always right. Let that be your actual resting place, not just something you say while still carrying the whole weight yourself.
There is also a place for believers to speak publicly in ways that call a nation back to God. If this video is aimed at that, the goal is worthy. The Lord can give a project influence that no sponsor can manufacture and can make even resistant people take notice. But the lasting fruit will come from him, not from the urgency of a year end deadline.
So work hard, make the calls, send the video, and seek the sponsorships. But do it with open hands. The Lord is able to do more than simply make it work. He is able to give you peace while you wait and to use the project however he chooses, on his schedule, for his glory.
