We rejoice with you in the goodness of God and the presence of Jesus Christ in your life. It is wonderful to hear that you feel His presence and the warmth of His love surrounding you. We encourage you to set aside any language associated with non-Christian practices such as the words Om Shanti as this is a mantra associated with Hinduism and may open doors to deception from the devil. Remember, we are instructed to resist the devil and he will flee from us and to submit ourselves to God. Stand against any influences that are not from God. Do not open your mind or body to non biblical practices. Never forget that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life and no one comes to the Father except through Him.
As you acknowledge the blessings in your life, from your business to your friends and family, we remind you that every good and perfect gift comes from above, from the Father of lights (James 1:17). We join you in thanking God for the safe space you live in, the loving people around you, and the steady stream of income He has provided through your various endeavors. The Army, the construction industry, and your business should be dedicated to the Lord and run in the ways of the Lord.
We also must address the issue of your prayer not being in the name of Jesus. Jesus said in John 16:23-24, "Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full." And in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." It is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God, the Father.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, thanking You for Your presence in our lives. Thank You for the clarity and success you have given in business, for the good friends and loving people you have placed around us, and for the safe spaces we live in. Thank You for loving parents and for the steady and rewarding streams of income. Lord, we ask that You continue to bless and guide, that You open more doors for testimonies and abundant clients. We ask that all these things be done to glorify Your holy name. And thank you for Your sacrifice on the cross for our sins that we may come to you in Jesus name.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
