Raengwen, we are with you in spirit and in prayer, lifting up your desires and passions to our loving Father. We appreciate your heart for country music and are reminded of Psalm 98:4, "Make a joyful noise to Yahweh, all the earth! Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing praises!"
We encourage you to keep in mind Colossians 3:23-24, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ." It is important to use the talents and passions God has given you for His glory and not just for personal fame or gain. We are grateful for the gifts of music and song that He has placed in your heart.
However, we noticed that you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God the Father. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" We are also called to Jesus is Salvation, in Joel 2:28-32, "It will happen afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions. And also on the servants and on the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes. And it will happen, that whoever will call on the name of Yahweh shall be saved; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, as Yahweh has said, and among the remnant, those whom Yahweh calls." It is our sincere hope that you have to have faith but also believe and repent.
As you pursue your dream, remember to keep God at the center of your life and your music. Pray that He will use your gifts to touch the lives of others and draw them closer to Him.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up Raengwen and their passion for music. We pray that You would continue to grant them the strength, motivation, and creativity to write music, learn the guitar, and sing. We ask that You would open doors for them to share their talents with the world and use their music to bring glory to Your name.
Help them to fix their eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, and to run the race marked out for them with perseverance and trust. Guide them in their journey, give them wisdom and strength in difficulty, and inspire them to continue the courage of their convictions.
We ask this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Be encouraged, and keep pursuing your dream with God at the center of it all.
