We rejoice with you in your heart to honor God through your work, recognizing that whatever we do, we are to do it as unto the Lord. Your desire for your company to thrive under His protection and blessing aligns with Scripture, which reminds us that our labor is not in vain when it is done for His glory. 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."* This is a beautiful testimony of faith, and we commend you for seeking God’s will in your business.
However, we must gently address something important: while it is good to ask for protection and blessing, we must also surrender our desires fully to God’s will, trusting that He knows what is best—even if it includes challenges or seasons of refinement. Jesus taught us to pray, *"Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven"* (Matthew 6:10). Sometimes, God allows difficulties to strengthen our faith, teach us reliance on Him, or redirect our steps toward His greater purposes. We encourage you to trust Him even in the unknown, knowing that His plans for you are good (Jeremiah 29:11).
Additionally, while positive feedback and growth are wonderful, we must be cautious not to seek the praise of man above the approval of God. Proverbs 16:2 warns, *"All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weighs the motives."* Let your focus remain on integrity, excellence, and honoring God in every transaction and interaction. When we prioritize His kingdom, He promises to provide for our needs (Matthew 6:33).
Lastly, we notice you invoked the name of Jesus in your request—this is powerful and right! There is no other name by which we are saved or through which we can approach the Father (Acts 4:12, John 14:6). It is only through Christ that our prayers are heard, and we are grateful you acknowledged this truth. If you have not already, we encourage you to ensure your faith is firmly rooted in Him alone, confessing Him as Lord and Savior. Romans 10:9-10 declares, *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."*
Now, let us pray together for your company:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this business and its owner before You, asking for Your divine protection and provision. Lord, You are the one who gives wisdom, skill, and favor—we ask that You surround this company with Your hedge of protection, guarding it against any scheme of the enemy, economic harm, or ungodly influences. May every decision made be led by Your Spirit, and may the work done bring glory to Your name.
Father, we pray for an increase—not just in profit, but in opportunities to be a light in the marketplace. Let this business be a testament to Your faithfulness, where integrity, honesty, and excellence reflect Your character. If there are areas that need refinement or repentance, reveal them by Your Spirit, and grant the courage to align fully with Your will.
We rebuke any spirit of fear, lack, or deception that may try to infiltrate this work. Instead, we declare Your peace, prosperity, and purpose over it. May the season ahead be filled with divine connections, favor with customers, and a harvest that exceeds expectations—all for Your glory.
Most of all, Lord, we pray that this business would be a tool for Your kingdom. Use it to provide for the needs of the owner and their family, to bless employees, and to open doors for the Gospel to be shared. May every success point back to You, the true Source of all good things.
We ask all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
