We join you in gratitude for the peace and provision God has given you and your family. It is truly a blessing to see how He meets needs in ways we could never anticipate, reminding us of His faithfulness. Your heart for stewardship—wanting to build stability for your family and serve others—reflects a godly desire, and we pray the Lord continues to shape and direct it.
The vision of a small store by the sea and the growth of your blogging journey are both endeavors that require wisdom, patience, and divine alignment. We are reminded of Proverbs 16:3, which says, *"Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* This is not a promise of instant success, but of purposeful direction when our hearts are surrendered to Him. We also hold fast to Proverbs 3:5-6: *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths."* The Lord knows the desires of your heart, and He will guide you step by step if these plans are indeed from Him.
We pray that as you seek to start your store, the Lord would open doors no man can shut and close those that are not aligned with His will. May He send godly mentors, wise counsel, and the right opportunities at the right time. Give you discernment to start small, manage resources wisely, and grow in a way that honors Him. May your store not only be a source of provision but also a place of blessing to your community, reflecting the love and generosity of Christ.
For your blogging journey, we pray that the Lord would continue to refine your voice and message. May your words be seasoned with grace, truth, and the fragrance of Christ, reaching those who need encouragement, hope, and a reminder of God’s faithfulness. We are reminded of Colossians 3:17, *"Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."* May your blog be a light in a world that often feels dark, drawing others closer to Him.
We also encourage you to remain patient and steadfast, even when progress feels slow. Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us, *"For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven."* Trust that the Lord is working even in the waiting, preparing you and your endeavors for His perfect timing. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, you will reap if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9).
Let us lift these requests to the Lord together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts for the ways You have already provided and sustained this family. Lord, we ask that You would go before them as they seek to build a store by the sea. Open the right doors, provide the resources, and send the right people to support and guide them. Give them wisdom to start small, manage well, and grow in a way that honors You. May this store be a blessing not only to their family but to all who enter, reflecting Your love and provision.
For their blogging journey, Father, we ask that You would bless their words and their platform. May their writing touch lives, bring hope, and point others to You. Give them creativity, discipline, and a heart that seeks to glorify You in all they do. Help them to trust You in every season, whether it feels like progress or waiting. Teach them patience, strengthen their courage, and deepen their faith as they build.
Lord, we surrender these plans to You, knowing that Your ways are higher than ours. Align their desires with Your will, and may everything they do bring glory to Your name. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
Continue to seek the Lord in all things, and may He richly bless your efforts as you walk in obedience and faith.
