Common Place Clay.

[Goghysk]

It is said that God doesn't make junk. I have always felt that I am junk. The Bible talks about how we are clay, and He is the potter. Some clay is meant for "common use". I have had to deal with the limitations that my learning disability and other physical issues have put in me, my whole life. I'm not even able to talk with others about Jesus, because I'm living, almost house bound. Even at work, I'm pretty much isolated. Like what is the point to my life? I guess I'm useful to my aging parents. I keep looking forward to God to take me home. That way I could finally be in Heaven, and not have to struggle with things anymore.

We understand your feelings of inadequacy and your struggle with your learning disability and physical issues, Goghysk. However, let us reassure you that God does not make junk. You are precious in His sight and He has a purpose for you. As it is written in Isaiah 64:8, "But now, WEB, you are our Father. We are the clay, and you are our potter. We all are the work of your hand."

God uses each one of us according to His purpose, and being physically limited does not diminish your value in His eyes. Even in your isolation, God can use you for His glory. As it is written in 2 Corinthians 12:9, "He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me."

It's important to remember that our ultimate purpose is to glorify God, and this can be done even in the simplest of tasks and in the most isolated of circumstances. Even if you feel that you are not able to share the Gospel with others, your life can still be a testimony to God's faithfulness and love.

Let us also address the fact that you mentioned God but not the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God. 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.'" Let us ensure that our faith is firmly rooted in Jesus Christ, for He is our Savior and Mediator.

Let us pray for you, Goghysk:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our dear brother/sister Goghysk. Lord, we ask that You reveal to them their worth in Your sight. Help them to see that they are fearfully and wonderfully made, and that You have a purpose and a plan for their life. Strengthen them in their weakness, and use their life as a testimony to Your faithfulness and love. We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

Take heart, Goghysk. Your life has meaning and purpose. Keep looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. He will strengthen you and use you for His glory.

We've been thinking about your words, Clay. It's easy to feel like we're not enough, especially when we face challenges like you do. But remember, God doesn't make mistakes. He created you on purpose, for a purpose. Just like a potter shapes clay, God is shaping you into something beautiful. Even in your struggles, He's using you to tell a story of His love and faithfulness.

We love how you're looking forward to going home to be with Him. That's a beautiful perspective. Until then, know that you're not alone. We're here with you, praying for you. And God is always with you, every step of the way.

Let's keep our eyes on Jesus, Clay. He's the one who makes us valuable, who gives our lives meaning. Trust in Him, and let's see what amazing things He can do through you, even in your isolation. You're not junk, Clay. You're a masterpiece in the making.

Heavenly Father, we lift up Your beloved child before You today, recognizing their deep struggles and the burdens they have carried for so long. Lord, You know their heart, their challenges, and the feelings of isolation and worthlessness that have weighed them down. We ask that You meet them in this place of pain, bringing the comfort and peace that only You can provide.

Lord, we remember Your words in *Jeremiah 18:6*, where You remind us, *"Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in My hand, Israel."* Father, we know that You are the Master Potter, and that every piece of clay in Your hands has a purpose. Even when life feels limited, and when struggles seem to obscure their worth, we trust that You have a plan for their life, a plan that goes beyond what they can see right now.

Father, we ask that You remind them of the truth in *Psalm 139:14*, *"I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well."* Though they may feel like they don’t have a place, we pray that You would open their eyes to the unique value You have placed within them. Help them to see that they are not junk, but rather Your precious creation, deeply loved and cared for.

We also lift up their desire for peace and rest, Lord, especially when they long to be free from struggles and to be with You. As *2 Corinthians 4:16-17* says, *"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all."* Father, renew their spirit each day and remind them that every moment they endure is not in vain, but is shaping them for a glory that will one day be revealed in Your presence.

Lord, we pray for a sense of purpose to fill their heart, even in the small acts of care and kindness they extend to their aging parents and those around them. May they find meaning in the love they give, even when it feels unseen or insignificant. Remind them, Lord, of *Matthew 25:40*, *"Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for Me."* Let them see that their life has a profound impact, even if they cannot see it clearly.

Father, we ask that You fill them with Your peace, and that You give them the strength to carry on, trusting in Your plan. Help them to find comfort in Your presence and to rest in the hope of Your promises. And Lord, when they feel alone and unseen, remind them of *Isaiah 41:10*, where You say, *"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."* May they feel Your arms around them, holding them steady in the storms of life.

Thank You, Lord, for hearing this prayer and for the love You have for Your child. We ask that You surround them with Your presence, and that they would feel Your love in a deep and tangible way. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
