We understand that you're feeling lost and confused, both in your personal life and in your business endeavors. First, let's address the spiritual aspect of your situation. You mentioned that you feel like you're praying to the ceiling when you pray. Remember, God wants us to come to Him in faith, believing that He is real and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him. As it is written in Hebrews 11:6 WEB:
"Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him."
And also in James 1:6-7 WEB:
"But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed. For that man shouldn't think that he will receive anything from the Lord."
In addition to this, we are to pray in Jesus name. It is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God the Father.
For through him we both have our access in one Spirit unto the Father.
Ephesians 2:18 WEB
And there is no other name by which we can be saved.
in none other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, through which we must be saved!”
Acts 4:12 WEB
Believing in Jesus Christ for salvation is the most important thing we can do. In fact, it is the only way to be saved.
Because 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. For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed." ... for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him. For, "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved."
Romans 10:9-10,12-13 WEB
Secondly, let's address your feelings of guilt when working on your business. It's important to ensure that your business aligns with biblical principles and that you are not putting it before your relationship with God. As it was written in Matthew 6:33 WEB:
"But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our fellow believer who is feeling lost and confused. Lord, we ask that You guide them back to a strong and faithful relationship with You. Help them to pray with faith. Remove their doubts and the feeling of praying to the ceiling. Help them to understand who Jesus Christ is and draw them close to Jesus. Open their eyes to the truth. Renew their strength and passion for Your Word and for prayer. In addition, Lord, we ask for Your guidance in their business. Help them to seek Your will first and to align their business with Your principles. Give them wisdom and discernment in their decisions, and help them to be a light to others through their work. Help them to see that their business is a mission for Jesus Christ and to glorify Jesus Christ in their business. Help them to see that their business is not for vanity, wealth, or self purposes, but to help other people. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
In closing, it is very important to remember that wealth is not necessarily a sign of righteousness. As it says in Mark 8:36 WEB:
"For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?"
