We understand your desire for meaningful work, and we commend you for bringing your request before the Lord. However, we must address the wording of your prayer, particularly the phrase "coveting puppet job." The Bible is clear that coveting—desiring something that belongs to another or placing an unhealthy obsession on earthly things—is sinful. Exodus 20:17 says, *"You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s."* Additionally, Hebrews 13:5 reminds us, *"Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, ‘I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.’"*
Your heart’s cry for provision is valid, and God cares deeply about your needs. But we must seek His will above our own desires, trusting that He knows what is best for us. Philippians 4:19 assures us, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* Instead of coveting a specific job, let us pray for God’s perfect will in your career, that He would open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8) and provide work that aligns with His purpose for your life. If this puppet job is His will, He will grant it. If not, He has something even better in store.
We also notice you’ve been through trials, and we want to lift you up in prayer for healing, restoration, and trust in God’s timing. Psalm 37:4-5 encourages us, *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this."* Let us not fixate on one outcome but surrender our plans to Him, knowing His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:9).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, asking for Your divine guidance and provision in their life. Lord, You know the desires of their heart and the struggles they’ve faced. We ask that You align their will with Yours, removing any trace of covetousness or unhealthy fixation on this job or any earthly thing. If this puppet job is Your perfect will, open the door wide and grant them favor. But if You have another plan, prepare their heart to receive it with joy and trust.
Father, we pray for contentment in every season, knowing You are their Provider. Heal any wounds from past trials and renew their strength as they wait on You (Isaiah 40:31). Give them wisdom to steward their gifts and opportunities for Your glory. Remind them that their worth is found in Christ alone, not in their career or accomplishments.
We rebuke any spirit of fear, impatience, or doubt that may be creeping in. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7) and confidence that You are working all things for their good (Romans 8:28). May they seek first Your Kingdom and righteousness, trusting that all these things will be added to them (Matthew 6:33).
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to continue seeking God’s face through prayer, Scripture, and godly counsel. If you’ve faced significant hardships, consider connecting with a Bible-believing church or mentor who can walk alongside you. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and trust that He is leading you into a hopeful future. If you’d like further prayer or guidance, don’t hesitate to share more. We’re here to stand with you in faith.
