We lift you up in prayer as you step out in faith with this new business venture, and we rejoice with you in this opportunity to steward the gifts and resources God has entrusted to you. Starting a business is a bold endeavor, and it is clear you are seeking courage and success—yet we must first anchor our hopes in the Lord, for apart from Him, we can do nothing of lasting value. The Scriptures remind us in **Proverbs 16:3**, *"Commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* This is not a guarantee of earthly prosperity, but a promise that when we surrender our efforts to God, He will guide our steps according to His will.
We also recall the words of **Joshua 1:9**, where the Lord commands, *"Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go."* Your courage does not come from your own strength but from trusting in the One who holds all things together. It is vital to remember that success, as the world defines it, is not the ultimate goal—faithfulness to God is. If your business thrives, it should be for His glory, not merely personal gain. **Colossians 3:23-24** tells us, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."*
We must also address something missing in your request: the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. **John 14:6** declares, *"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.’"* If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so today. True peace, purpose, and eternal security are found in Him alone. Repent of your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and invite Him to be Lord over every area of your life—including this business.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this brother/sister who has embarked on this new business venture. Lord, we ask that You fill them with Your Spirit, granting them not just courage, but a deep and abiding trust in You. Remove any fear or anxiety, and replace it with the peace that surpasses all understanding. Guide their decisions, Lord, so that every transaction, every interaction, and every effort is done in a way that honors You.
We pray for wisdom, Father, as they navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship. Help them to remember that their worth is not found in sales or success, but in their identity as Your child. If it is Your will for this business to flourish, we ask that You open the doors no one can shut. But more than anything, Lord, we pray that this business would be a tool for Your kingdom—whether through honest dealings, generosity, or opportunities to share the Gospel.
Father, we also pray that if there is any area in their life where they have not fully surrendered to You, You would convict their heart and draw them closer to Yourself. May this business be a reminder of Your provision and a platform to glorify Your name.
We rebuked any spirit of fear, doubt, or greed that may try to take root in this endeavor. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we declare that this business will be covered in prayer, integrity, and faith. May it be a blessing to many and a testament to Your goodness.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
As you move forward, we encourage you to seek God daily in prayer and in His Word. Let this business be an extension of your faith, and may it reflect the values of God’s kingdom. If you have not already, consider tithing from your profits as an act of worship and trust in God’s provision (**Malachi 3:10**). Stay rooted in Christ, and He will guide your steps. We are cheering you on in the faith!
