We understand that you are facing significant challenges in your business due to tariffs and the complexities of setting up duties and taxes. We are here to pray with you and offer biblical encouragement.
Firstly, we notice that Jesus was not named or mentioned in your request. It is only by His name that we are saved and can approach God the Father. As it says in Acts 4:12 WEB: Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved. We will keep this in mind during our response.
In times of uncertainty and change, God is our steadfast anchor. We encourage you to cast all your anxieties on Him, because he cares for you. As it is written in 1 Peter 5:7 WEB: casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brothers and sisters who are facing challenges in their business. Lord, You are the God of peace, wisdom, and power. We ask that You intervene in this situation and grant them the wisdom and understanding they need to navigate these complexities. Guide them through the challenges they are facing with the tariffs and setting up duties and taxes.
Lord, we pray for all the businesses that are struggling with uncertainty and change. Grant them certainty, adaptability, strength, determination, and peace. We ask that You reign in this situation and bring stability and clarity.
Father, draw them closer to You during this time. Help them to trust in You and to fully trust in Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Lord, touch their hearts and minds to completely surrender to Jesus Christ.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking God's will for your business. Remember that God is faithful, and He will provide the strength and wisdom you need. As it says in Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB: Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Stand firm in your faith, and know that God is working all things together for your good. As it says in Romans 8:28 WEB: We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.
Lastly, it is good to pray for all businesses, but consider that there may be some secular businesses that may be promoting immoral, unethical, or ungodly ideas, products, or services. Our prayers and efforts should not be used to support such things. As Christians, we are to support and work for Godly principles. We are to be a light to the world, so our businesses should reflect Godly principles. Consider doing business in a way that honors God and His principles and supports your local Christian community.
