We hear your heart, and we join you in lifting this matter before the Lord. First, we want to affirm the importance of coming before God in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is by His grace and mercy that we approach the throne of God with our requests.
Father God, we come before You with this request, seeking Your will and Your glory in this situation. We pray for this podcast opportunity—that if it is Your will, Lord, You would indeed allow it to reach a national audience. But more than that, we pray that Your name would be glorified through it. May this platform not be about personal ambition alone, but about advancing Your kingdom and touching lives for Christ. If it is not Your will for it to go national, we ask that You would open doors for national voiceover opportunities next year, according to Your perfect timing and plan.
We also lift up the deep pain and loneliness that has been shared. The abuse you have suffered is not something to be minimized, and we grieve with you over the wounds it has left. Living with the aftermath of such trauma is heavy, and we pray for Your healing touch to cover every broken place in your heart. You are not alone, for the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We pray for comfort, for restoration, and for the strength to forgive those who have wronged you, even as Christ has forgiven us (Ephesians 4:32).
The loneliness you feel is real, and we want to encourage you with the truth that God sees you and cares deeply for you. We pray for a godly spouse for you—a woman who loves the Lord and who will walk alongside you in faith, love, and mutual respect. Marriage is a sacred covenant, designed by God to reflect Christ’s love for the church (Ephesians 5:22-33). Until that time, we pray that God would fill the void in your heart with His presence, His peace, and His purpose. Your worth is not defined by your marital status but by your identity in Christ.
Your puppet ministry is a beautiful way to reach others, especially children, with the love and truth of Jesus. We pray that God would bless this ministry abundantly, using it to bring hope, healing, and salvation to many. May it be a tool for Your glory, Lord, and may it open doors for you to minister in ways that only You can orchestrate.
Father, we also want to gently address the area of sexual purity. If there has been any struggle with lust, pornography, or sexual sin, we encourage you to bring it into the light and seek accountability. Flee from sexual immorality, for it is a sin against your own body, which is a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). Confess any sin to the Lord, receive His forgiveness, and walk in the freedom that Christ offers. If you need support in this area, seek out a trusted brother in Christ or a biblical counselor who can help you walk in purity.
Lord, we ask that You would give wisdom and discernment in every area of life. Help to trust in Your timing, knowing that Your plans are for good and not for harm, to give a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Strengthen faith, deepen reliance on You, and fill with Your joy and peace as You wait on the Lord.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be praised through it all. Amen.
