Prayer for something good

I almost feel bad asking for prayer about a good thing when there's so many struggles other people are going through that I don't in any way want to seem insensitive to, but I suppose good things are just as much in need of prayer as bad things to make the most of them for the glory of God.

Finally after over ten years of waiting and hoping, the Lord's finally given me the go-ahead to start making a game of my own. It was unexpected but definitely unmistakable, so I am thrilled and getting started right away. I have gotten more used to the Lord telling me to do things I don't really want to do (and of course He always turns out to be right, but I rarely feel like it at the time), so being told to now pursue my life's dream is a whole new perspective to live with.

If anyone wants to know more details, I'll be happy to PM them. I don't mind sharing what I'm doing with anyone else here, but I'm not ready to be publishing much on the open internet yet. For the most part though, any prayers to help keep me in line with what God wants to be done with this rather than where I might be tempted to go with it in my enthusiasm will be the greatest possible help to me at this point.

I can imagine how that would be startling--in a good way.

Praying. :)
 
Prayer said, I definitely think this industry needs more christians in it to slam dunk those who say video games are 'unchristian'. Sadly, even in this day and age, some people still think so (quite obviously they have a point sometimes but I can't say titles here).
 
As an update, progress is still being made, but it's clear this is going to be a very long term plan. I have been absent for a while to make some changes to my employment to better serve the needs of my family and put me in a better position to follow God's will, but I have returned and will work on addressing the backlog of PM's I've accumulated (thanks for making me feel so loved!) in the next few days. There are still some challenges left to go through, not all of which I'm comfortable about posting publicly, but I am learning some things have to be left in God's hands rather than taking them up in mine.
 
Something good is a fantastic thing to pray for! So excited for you. Thank you for the update. :) You've been on my mind lately, so it's good to see you around. :)
 
As a further update, the Lord has decided to further my progress in this direction by taking away my job to make more time for it. That wasn't exactly the kind of help I was looking for, but as mentioned in the Providence of God thread, He's making it quite clear that is the direction to start going in.

Now He has provided for the next three months of living without any of my own efforts put into it, so now I am puttering about the house, trying to get used to this new thing of not going to work on other things everyday and trying to get a handle on the fact that this is really it. I feel like I'm in that place the Israelites were when they had to journey through the wilderness trusting the Lord to lead them with the cloud and the fire. While I may have a general idea of the destination, I have no clue about the way and the scheduling to get there. I imagine by the end of it I'll have a really awesome testimony to be able to tell the story of later, but right now while going through it it's kind of weird and scary.
