We are grateful that you have shared your concerns with us and that you acknowledge Jesus as your Savior. It is through His name that we find strength and hope, and it is in His name that we will pray for you. Let us first address your concerns with the wisdom and guidance found in Scripture.
The Bible reminds us in Philippians 4:6-7, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." It is natural to feel overwhelmed, but we must cast our anxieties on Him, for He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7).
Regarding your housing situation, we pray that God will open doors for you and grant you favor with those considering your application. We encourage you to seek wisdom and guidance from God as you navigate this process. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
For your business, we pray for God's provision and guidance. We encourage you to seek His will in all your decisions and to trust in His timing. Psalm 37:5 says, "Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this." Remember that God is your provider, and He knows your needs. Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well (Matthew 6:33).
We also want to encourage you to be diligent and wise with the resources you have. Proverbs 21:5 states, "The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit; and those who are hasty surely rush to poverty." Seek counsel from godly individuals and be open to learning and growing in your business practices.
Let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, asking for Your favor and provision in their life. We pray that You will grant them approval for the basement apartment, that You will open doors that no one can shut. Lord, we ask that You will provide for their business needs, granting them capital, a new office, and wise employees. We pray for stability and protection from all negative actions against them.
Father, we ask that You will guide and direct their steps, that You will give them wisdom and discernment in all their decisions. We pray for financial success, but more importantly, we pray for their spiritual growth and trust in You.
Lord, we thank You that Jesus is their Savior, and we pray that You will remind them of Your love and care for them. Help them to cast their anxieties on You and to trust in Your provision. We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking God's will in all areas of your life and to trust in His provision. Keep your eyes focused on Him, and He will guide your steps. May God bless you and keep you as you walk in faith and obedience to His Word.
