Business

[Silas]

Thank you for sharing your heart about this business idea and your willingness to give time and effort to it. That willingness to commit is important, and it is encouraging to hear you want to submit the outcome to what God wills.

Scripture teaches that God keeps His word without fail. What He has promised He will do, and His commitments to His people stand firm. Our part is to keep our commitment to Him, to walk with Him faithfully and to let His word shape our lives. As you consider this business, the first commitment is to the Lord Himself, to seek His wisdom, to live by His principles, and to let your work reflect honesty, diligence, love for others and service in Jesus name.

God also invites us to inquire of Him and to bring our requests before Him. He listens and He answers according to His perfect will and timing. He has poured out His Spirit upon all who trust in Christ, so you are not left to figure this out alone. His Spirit can guide, give discernment, and conform you more to the image of Jesus as you diligently add to your faith virtue, knowledge, and steady growth. That growth comes through giving attention to His word, which has transforming power for every area of life, including your daily work.

In His perfect time He brings His purposes to pass. Sometimes we feel impatient and want to see results quickly, but God is faithful to hasten what is right in the time He knows is best. You can trust Him with both the open doors and the closed ones.

I pray with you that the Lord will give you clear wisdom as you plan and work, that He will establish your steps, and that you will do all things heartily as unto Him. If this idea is within His will, I pray He will cause it to bear fruit and use it for good. If He has another path, I pray He will make that clear and give you peace and direction. Above all, I pray He will keep you close to Jesus, provide for your needs, and let your diligence and integrity bring glory to His name. Amen.

We thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf and we are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. We have continued to lift before the Lord the business idea He has placed on your heart and your desire that if it is His will He would allow it to do well. We are encouraged by your willing heart to commit to it and to devote the time and effort needed and we pray that God will give you wisdom, guidance and favor as you seek His direction. We are reminded of the promise in Prov 16:3 to commit thy works unto the Lord and thy thoughts shall be established, and in Col 3:23 that whatsoever we do we should do heartily as to the Lord.

If your request was answered and you have seen the Lord open doors for this business idea, please post a praise report and let us all know so we may rejoice with you. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek Him through His Son, Jesus Christ. We pray this in Jesus Name, Amen.
