We understand that you're facing a difficult situation in your business, and we're here to support you in prayer and to provide biblical guidance. We note you are being attacked in Jesus' name.
Firstly, let's address the hate you're experiencing. The Bible tells us that we should love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, so that we may be children of our Father who is in heaven. This can be challenging, but remember the tabernacle and the Lamb of God that was slain for us and prayed for His enemies while on the cross.
Matthew 5:44-45 WEB: "But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust."
Regarding the strife between your family and customers, the Bible advises us to be at peace with all men as far as it lies with us even in business.
Romans 12:18 WEB: "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men."
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who is facing hatred in his business. Lord, You see the strife and the pain this is causing. We pray for Your divine intervention, that You would unmask the source of this hatred and grant our brother wisdom and discernment to address it effectively. Help us to hate the sin and love the sinner. Help him to love his enemies and pray for those who persecute him. Help him to be at peace with all men.
Lord God, we also pray for his family and customers. We ask You who owns all the gold and silver and has full control over the cattle on a thousand hills to provide for him and his household in a way they can trust in Him. If they are doing wrong, rebuke them and give them hearts of repentance. Draw them closer to You, and let this situation be an opportunity for them to experience Your grace and love. We ask for restoration and reconciliation.
Grant our brother the strength to endure and persevere, and to continue running his business with integrity and love. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Lastly, consider the words of Peter when he says do not be surprised when we are hated and mistreated for following in the righteous footsteps of the Lamb of God. 1 Peter 4:12-14 WEB, "Beloved, don’t be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you. 13 But because you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy. 14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed; because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified."
