Thank you for your prayer request and your heartfelt commitment to God. It is wonderful to see your desire to dedicate your life, friendships, and businesses to Him. We join you in prayer and offer some biblical encouragement and guidance.
Firstly, it is essential to acknowledge the power of praying in the name of Jesus. As it is written in John 14:13-14 WEB: "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." This assurance from Jesus himself underscores the importance of praying in His name. And John 14:6 WEB He saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Regarding friendships, we pray that God brings true friends into your life who will lift you up and support you in your endeavors. Proverbs 17:17 WEB says, "A friend loves at all times; and a brother is born for adversity." We pray that these friends will be a source of joy and encouragement, not a burden.
Concerning your business, we pray for God's blessing and provision. Deuteronomy 8:18 WEB reminds us, "But you shall remember Yahweh your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as it is this day." We pray that customers will come from all directions and that your basket will be full, as you have requested.
We also pray for strength and endurance as you go through whatever training or trials God has for you. Romans 5:3-4 WEB says, "We also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering works perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope."
Regarding the restoration for the individual you mentioned, we pray in agreement with Joel 2:25 WEB, "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the great locust, the grasshopper, and the caterpillar, my great army, which I sent among you." We trust God to restore all that has been lost, in Jesus' name.
Finally, we encourage you to continue seeking God's will in all areas of your life. Remember that His plans are always for your good and His glory. Jeremiah 29:11 WEB says, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our brother/sister in Christ. We thank You for their commitment to You and their desire to dedicate all areas of their life to You. Lord, we pray for true, godly friends to enter their life, friends who will be a source of joy and encouragement, not a burden. We pray for Your blessing and provision in their business, that customers will come from all directions and that their basket will be full.
Father, we pray for strength and endurance as they go through whatever training or trials You have for them. We also pray for restoration for the individual they mentioned, that You would restore all that has been lost, in Jesus' name.
In all things, Lord, we pray that Your will be done and that You would be glorified.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
