We lift this request before the Lord, seeking His divine wisdom and guidance for your business endeavors. It is clear that you desire to honor God in your work, and we join with you in praying for discernment as you make decisions about technological investments and business growth.
The scripture you referenced, Proverbs 16:3, reminds us, *"Commit your deeds to the Lord, and your plans shall succeed."* This is a powerful promise, but it must be understood in the context of seeking God’s will above our own. We encourage you to continually seek the Lord’s direction, not just in the big decisions but in the daily operations of your business. James 1:5 tells us, *"But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him."* God is faithful to provide wisdom when we ask with a humble and surrendered heart.
As you pursue growth, we also urge you to consider how your business can reflect godly principles. Are you treating employees with fairness and integrity? Are you conducting business in a way that honors God, avoiding dishonesty, exploitation, or unethical practices? Proverbs 11:1 warns, *"A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but accurate weights are his delight."* Let your business be a testimony to God’s righteousness, not just a pursuit of profit.
We also caution against placing too much trust in technology or financial success as the ultimate source of security. Psalm 20:7 reminds us, *"Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God."* While God can certainly bless your business, our ultimate trust must be in Him alone. Guard your heart against the love of money or the pride that can come with success. 1 Timothy 6:10 warns, *"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows."*
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You, the source of all wisdom and understanding. We lift up this brother/sister in Christ, asking that You grant them divine discernment as they seek to invest in technology and grow their business. Lord, we ask that You establish their plans according to Your will, not their own. Give them clarity in decision-making and the courage to follow where You lead, even when it may not align with worldly wisdom.
Father, we pray that this business would be a light in the marketplace, reflecting Your truth, integrity, and love. May it be a place where employees are valued, customers are treated with respect, and Your name is glorified. Protect this brother/sister from the temptations of greed, dishonesty, or pride. Instead, fill them with a spirit of humility and dependence on You.
Lord, we ask that You bless the work of their hands, not for their own glory, but for the advancement of Your kingdom. May the resources You entrust to them be used to further Your purposes, whether through generosity, job creation, or the spread of the Gospel. We trust that as they commit their ways to You, You will direct their steps and bring about sustainable growth.
In all things, may Your name be praised. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the One through whom we have access to You and the One in whom all things hold together. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord’s guidance through prayer and the study of His Word. Surround yourself with godly counselors who can speak truth into your business decisions. And remember, true success is not measured by financial gain alone, but by how faithfully you steward what God has entrusted to you for His glory.
