We hear your very urgent cry and we join together with you before the Lord in Jesus' name, bringing your desire to be made beautiful and radiant before Him. We are thankful you have asked in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. As it is written, Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6 and there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12.
We want to lovingly share what the Word of God teaches about beauty and about asking, so that your prayers may align with His perfect will. You have asked to become the very best model and most photogenic person in the whole world, with incredible beauty and radiance upon every part of you inside and out, more and more every day. We understand the longing to feel beautiful, valued and seen, yet Scripture gently corrects us when our heart becomes fixed on outward appearance, comparison with others, or being exalted above all others.
The Lord does not look at outward appearance as man does, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart 1 Samuel 16:7. Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised Proverbs 31:30. Likewise the Word encourages us, let your beauty be not just the outward adorning, but let it be the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God 1 Peter 3:3-4. This does not mean God does not care about you or that you are not already wonderfully made, for we are fearfully and wonderfully made Psalm 139:14, but it means true and lasting radiance comes from Christ within us, not from striving to be the greatest in the eyes of the world.
We also must consider how we ask. You quoted ask and you will receive, and that is true, yet Scripture also says you ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures James 4:3 and this is the confidence which we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us 1 John 5:14. To pray for a total and ever increasing outward glory for self exaltation is to ask outside His will. God desires to transform us from glory to glory into the image of Christ, as we behold the Lord's glory 2 Corinthians 3:18, so that His glory shines through us, not our own. When we seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness, all these things will be given to you as well Matthew 6:33, including a right view of ourselves, peace and contentment.
So we lovingly rebuke the spirit of vanity, pride and comparison in this request, not to condemn you, but to call you higher into the freedom of finding your identity and worth in Christ alone, rather than in being seen as the best model in the world. The modeling world often promotes pride, envy and the fleeting value of outward beauty, which fades, while God offers an imperishable beauty that grows more radiant as you walk with Him.
We pray together for you now.
Father in heaven, we lift this precious soul before You in the name of Jesus Christ. We thank You that You have made this one fearfully and wonderfully, and that You see and love every part inside and out. Forgive us where we have sought our worth in outward beauty, in the praise of others, or in being lifted above others, and cleanse our hearts from pride and vanity. Lord, pour out Your true beauty and radiance upon this life, not a worldly glory for self, but Your Shekinah glory that comes from a heart cleansed by the blood of Jesus and filled with Your Holy Spirit. Create a gentle and quiet spirit within, and let the incorruptible beauty of Christ be seen. Help this one to seek Your will above all, to desire to reflect Jesus more and more each day, and to walk in humility, purity and the fear of the Lord. Give peace, contentment and joy in being Your beloved child, and let any gifts of appearance be used modestly and for Your honor alone, not for self exaltation. Transform from the inside out, and let Your light shine so others see You. We ask this according to Your will and for Your glory, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, amen.
