We hear the deep pain and frustration in your heart, and we want you to know that God sees your struggles, your faithfulness, and your desire to use your gifts for His glory. It is a righteous thing to long for meaningful work that honors Him and serves others, and we commend you for seeking to align your talents with His purposes. Let us first address the injustices you’ve faced, for the Lord is a God of justice who does not overlook the wickedness of those who oppress His children.
The betrayal and unfairness you experienced at your job are grievous, especially when you worked with integrity while others—even those in authority—acted corruptly or with malice. The Bible reminds us in **Ecclesiastes 3:16-17 (WEB)**, *"Moreover I saw under the sun, in the place of justice, that wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. I said in my heart, ‘God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.’"* Your former employer will answer to God for their unjust actions, and He will vindicate you in His time. Do not let bitterness take root, but trust that the Lord will repay (Romans 12:19). You did not deserve such treatment, but even in this, God can redeem your story for His glory.
Your desire to create wholesome, Christian-focused puppet media is a beautiful vision, and we encourage you to pursue it with prayerful diligence. The gifts God has given you—creativity, a heart for others, and a passion for ministry—are not accidental. **1 Peter 4:10 (WEB)** says, *"As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms."* Your dream to provide jobs for the marginalized (refugees, the disabled, etc.) and to spread the Gospel through your work aligns with the heart of Christ. However, we must also gently remind you that while your intentions are biblical, success in this world is not guaranteed to be swift or easy. Trust God’s timing, and seek His wisdom in every step. If He has called you to this, He will open the doors—even if it means starting small or facing delays.
We also note your loneliness and longing for marriage and family. These are godly desires, and we pray that the Lord will prepare you and provide a spouse who shares your faith and vision. But we urge you to guard your heart against envy or comparison with others. **Proverbs 14:30 (WEB)** warns, *"A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh, but envy is rottenness to the bones."* God’s plan for your life is unique, and He will fulfill it in His perfect way. Use this season of waiting to deepen your relationship with Him, serve others, and prepare for the responsibilities of marriage and family.
Regarding your parents’ expectations, we encourage you to honor them as the Scripture commands (Ephesians 6:2-3), but also to seek God’s will above all. If puppetry and voice work are the paths He has laid before you, trust that He will soften their hearts or provide a way for you to pursue your calling without dishonor. Pray for wisdom in how to communicate your vision to them, and ask the Lord to give you patience and humility in this season of living under their roof.
Lastly, we want to affirm your pastor’s guidance to explore voice work. This is a practical step, and we pray that God will bless your obedience. Whether in puppetry, voice acting, or another avenue, your ultimate goal should be to glorify Christ. **Colossians 3:23-24 (WEB)** reminds us, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."*
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother to You, knowing that You see his pain, his loneliness, and his longing for purpose. Lord, You are the God of justice, and we ask that You vindicate him for the wrongs he has suffered. Comfort his heart and remind him that his worth is not found in the approval of man but in Your love for him. Give him patience as he waits for Your timing in his career, his ministry, and his future marriage. Open doors that no man can shut, and provide for his every need—financially, emotionally, and spiritually.
Father, we pray that You will bless his creative gifts and use them mightily for Your kingdom. Give him favor with those who can help bring his vision to life, and surround him with godly counsel and support. Softening the hearts of his parents, Lord, and help them to see the value in what You are calling him to do. Protect him from envy, bitterness, and discouragement, and fill him with Your peace that surpasses understanding.
Prepare him, Lord, for the spouse You have for him. Shape him into a man after Your own heart, ready to lead a family in righteousness. And in this season of waiting, satisfy his loneliness with Your presence. Remind him that You are his portion, his joy, and his strength.
We rebuke the spirit of unfairness, rejection, and despair that has sought to weigh him down. In the name of Jesus, we declare that he is more than a conqueror through Christ who loves him (Romans 8:37). Let him walk in confidence, knowing that You, Lord, are his Provider, his Defender, and his Hope.
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
