Prayer for my buisness

[Anonymous]

Please pray for me I have been experiencing some set backs on my massage buisness, every year since I've been doing my buisness in September month I'll hit rock bottom that I have to seek others for financial help. I also notice everytime my husband works I start loosing clients and I'm not able to work, it's not that I don't want to work but everytime he starts to work I start loosing clients and we're not able to save because with one partner working more money is spent and also when I'm working my husband don't care to work, he just gets all laid back. I was busy all year until my husband went to work on a cruise ship last month September, immediately my clients stopped making bookings, I have another buisness a skin care and hair care buisness that's just started thriving but is not bringing in enough money to sustain my livelyhood. My light bill is almost $###, my daughter college tuition fee $### and I have my children to send to school groceries to buy and is not able to do all that with the little money I get from my skincare buisness. Please pray for me that whatever is attacking my buisnesses will cease in Jesus christ name and returned what have been stolen spiritually. I've also notice a regular client about ### weeks ago asked me for a photo of my back and I allowed her and the the second time she asked for another photo but I moved out of the picture and since then I noticed I've been loosing clients now I'm only down to ### client a week, also I have this cousin her name ### she only calls me around September month before October of each year, because October is when I start getting very busy with my buisness and when I get busy even if I make a lot of money I can't save it, I believe there is some spiritual manipulation some where and if there is a network of witchcraft reinforcement against my life, my destiny, my children and my buisnesses please pray for me that God step in and destroy whatever is working agaisnt my progress. In the space of ### years I've lost a lot of trusted clients without even doing anything wrong, and I'm here trying to figure out why. The last time I did my cousin massage in September month, she asked me if I still have my clients which I find very strange, why will she be so interested to know if I still have my clients. Please pray for me that if my gifts and blessings and my finances are spiritually manipulated into the hands of that cousin and her household or the client that took the picture of my back, please pray that God will step in and restore all that have been stolen from me through out the years and that God will stop the witchcraft network against my life, my destiny, my children and my buisnesses in Jesus Christ name. Thank you so much for prayers and God continue to bless everyone that intercede on my behalf.

We hear your heart and we join with you in bringing your burdens before the Lord, for He cares deeply for you, your husband, your children, and the work of your hands. We understand the discouragement of seeing your massage business rise and then suddenly fall, especially in the same season each year, and the weight of bills and tuition and daily needs while your skincare and hair care business is still growing. We also hear your concern about spiritual attacks and manipulation, and we want to stand with you in prayer for protection, wisdom, and restoration.

We want to remind you that our struggle is not only against what we see. As it is written, our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places Ephesians 6:12. Yet we do not need to live in fear, for God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7, and greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4. No weapon that is formed against you will prevail Isaiah 54:17, and when we submit ourselves to God and resist the devil, he will flee from us James 4:7.

We also want to gently encourage you to look at both the spiritual and the practical with wisdom. God calls us to be diligent stewards of what He has given us. The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit Proverbs 21:5, and it is God who gives us power to get wealth Deuteronomy 8:18. We pray that you and your husband will be united in diligence and stewardship. We hear that when one of you works the other becomes laid back, and that more money is spent when only one is working. Scripture teaches that if anyone doesn’t provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith 1 Timothy 5:8, and that whatever we do, we should work heartily, as for the Lord Colossians 3:23. We encourage you both to communicate openly, to agree together on a budget and on saving, and to serve one another in love within your marriage, which God ordained as a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman. A strong marriage working together for the Lord brings stability to the home and to the businesses God has entrusted to you.

Regarding your clients and the photo of your back, we encourage you to maintain clear professional boundaries in your massage business for your protection and testimony. Modesty and wisdom in how we present ourselves and allow others to interact with us honors the Lord and guards our hearts and businesses. We also encourage you not to live under suspicion of your cousin or any client, but to commit them to the Lord and to guard your heart from bitterness. We are to bless and not curse, to pray for those who may intend harm, and to trust that God sees all and is your defender.

We rejoice that you have called upon the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6. Your faith in His name is your covering and your hope for restoration.

We pray together for you now.

Father in heaven, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ we come before Your throne of grace and lift up our sister, her husband, her children, and her businesses to You. Lord, You know the setbacks she has faced each September, the loss of clients, the financial pressure of bills and tuition and groceries, and the confusion and heaviness she feels. We ask You to have mercy and to be her provider, for You have promised that my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19. Let Your blessing which makes rich and adds no sorrow Proverbs 10:22 rest upon the work of her hands.

Lord, if there has been any spiritual manipulation, envy, or witchcraft network against her life, her destiny, her children, and her businesses, we ask in Jesus name that You break its power completely. Let every assignment of the enemy be nullified by the blood of Jesus. We pray that You would restore what has been stolen, for You have said I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten Joel 2:25. Restore her clients, restore her finances, restore her peace, and restore what the enemy has tried to take from her household through the years.

Father, we pray for her marriage, that You would knit her and her husband together in unity, diligence, and love. Stir in her husband a desire to work faithfully and provide, and stir in her strength and wisdom to steward her businesses well. Help them to communicate, to plan together, to save, and to honor You with their finances. Teach them to be content and to trust that You will never leave nor forsake them Hebrews 13:5.

We pray for protection over her children and their education, and for wisdom in managing the skincare and hair care business as it grows. Give her creative ideas, favor with clients, and integrity in all her dealings. Help her to set healthy boundaries with clients and to walk in discernment, not in fear. Let Your peace guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:7.

We declare that no weapon formed against her shall prosper, and that You are her light and salvation. We ask You to bring trusted, loyal clients, to cause her businesses to thrive in season and out of season, and to make her a testimony of Your goodness and restoration. Help her to keep her eyes on You, to seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that all these things will be added Matthew 6:33.

We thank You, Father, that You hear us when we pray in Jesus name, and we trust You to act according to Your perfect will. We give You all the glory for the restoration and provision that is to come. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Be encouraged and continue to put on the full armor of God daily, to pray and fast as the Lord leads, to remain diligent in your work, and to keep your hope firmly in Christ. We are trusting with you that God will bring clarity, restoration, and steady provision in the months ahead.

Lord Jesus please richly bless, protect and guide them. Please help them in accordance with your perfect will Father. Thank you and praise you. In your holy name I pray. Amen.

We've read your note carefully and we hear how heavy this has been. Working hard all year, trying to keep two businesses going and provide for your children, and then watching clients fall away in September while bills for light, school and groceries keep coming, is exhausting and worrisome. It makes sense you are looking for why this pattern keeps happening, especially with your husband's work schedule and the questions around your cousin and that client photo.

We want to stand with you in prayer for provision, wisdom and peace in your home and work, and for God's protection over you, your children and the work of your hands. We also want to encourage a practical step alongside prayer. Because the financial pressure is so immediate, it can help to sit down soon with a trusted pastor and with someone who does financial counseling or small business budgeting, to review income and expenses, look at booking records together, and make a plan for the tuition and utility bills. Many churches and community agencies offer that kind of help at low or no cost, and having another wise set of eyes can ease some of the isolation you may be feeling.

You are not alone in this, and we are bringing your family and businesses before the Lord.

Father, we bring this sister and her family to You in Jesus' name. You see her diligence and her needs. Grant her wisdom for each decision, provision for her household, steady work, and Your peace that guards her heart. Lead her to trustworthy help and keep her and her children in Your care. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your cry has come before us and we have carried it to the throne of grace, where the ear of our God is never shut to the voice of His children. We have heard of your setbacks in your massage business and your skin and hair care business, of the heavy bills that press upon you, the light bill and your daughter's college tuition and the daily provision for your children, and of the strange pattern that has marked your September months with loss and leanness. We understand how this trial has wearied you, and how the loss of trusted clients without cause has left you searching for a reason.

We would have you see your affliction as the believer has ever viewed his chastenings. The Lord has chastened you sorely, but He has not given you over unto death. It is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy, and deliverance from every pit is solely by the power of God. He it is who brings forth His people, and when He brings them forth He can bring them forth also with silver and gold. The same God who found a ransom for sinners when none could be found, who delivered Israel when the lamb was slain, is able to deliver you from all that would oppress your life, your household and your labour.

You speak of spiritual manipulation and a network of witchcraft against your destiny and your businesses, and of fear that what is yours has been stolen through the taking of a photograph and through the inquiries of your cousin. We urge you not to give to any creature the power that belongs to Christ alone. Our deliverance from the power of darkness is the work of God through Jesus Christ, and He has delivered us. If you are in Christ, you are not under the dominion of darkness, for greater is He that is in you. The enemy is real, but he is a defeated foe, and the blood of the ransom has secured your soul and your portion. Do not live in dread of a photograph or of a season of the year, but commit your way unto the Lord. It is wisdom to be prudent, to keep proper boundaries in your business and not to give that which may be misused, and to guard your heart against superstition, yet to rest wholly upon the keeping power of your Redeemer. The clock of mercy strikes in Heaven according to His eternal purpose, and not according to the designs of men.

Concerning your husband and your work, we exhort you to seek that unity and diligence which the Lord honors in the marriage covenant. When one labours and the other grows laid back, or when provision is spent without saving, the household suffers. Pray that the Lord will give you both a spirit of industry, of mutual help and of faithful stewardship, that you may transact your business with honesty and put a hedge about your home in prayer. Let every matter of business be bathed in prayer together, that the cares of the week may not steal the peace of your souls.

We now pray for you.

O Lord our God, who hears the cries of Thy people and whose arm is mighty to save, look upon this sister and her children. Thou knowest her burdens, her debts, her declining business and her anxious thoughts for her family. We pray that Thou wouldst be her deliverer and her provider. Forgive her sins through the ransom which Thou hast found in Christ Jesus, and grant her to know that her salvation is through Him alone. Deliver her from all fear, from every evil design, and from the power of darkness, and let no weapon formed against her prosper. Restore what has been lost, as Thou didst enrich Thy people of old when Thou broughtest them forth, and give her wisdom to be a faithful steward of all Thou entrustest to her. Provide for her light bill, for her daughter's tuition, for groceries and schooling, according to Thy riches in glory. Bless the work of her hands in both her businesses, give her favour with clients, and establish her goings. Grant to her and her husband grace to labour together in love and diligence, to communicate with kindness and to save and spend to Thy glory. Set a guard about her children and her destiny, and keep her household in perfect peace as they trust in Thee. May she live and not die, but declare the works of the Lord, and may this trial become a song of deliverance to Thy praise. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, who has prayed for His people and who ever lives to intercede for them. Amen.

Take courage. They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters, these see the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep. Your present deep may be the very place where you shall see His wonders most clearly, and where you shall have most to declare of His goodness when He brings you forth.
