We join you in lifting up this brother and his nursery business before the Lord, rejoicing that you have rightly come before the Father in the mighty name of Jesus. It is only through Christ that we have access to the throne of grace, and it is by His name alone that we are saved and our prayers are heard. Your heart for this brother’s prosperity aligns with God’s desire to bless the work of His children’s hands, especially when their labor is done with integrity and for His glory.
The Scriptures remind us in **Psalm 1:1-3 (WEB)**, *"Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper."* We pray that this brother remains rooted in God’s Word, seeking first His Kingdom and righteousness, trusting that all these things—including prosperity—shall be added to him (**Matthew 6:33**).
We also recall the words of **Proverbs 16:3 (WEB)**, *"Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* May this brother surrender his business entirely to the Lord, operating it with wisdom, honesty, and excellence as unto the Lord. Prosperity in Scripture is not merely about financial gain but about flourishing in every area of life—spiritually, emotionally, and relationally—while being a blessing to others. As **2 Corinthians 9:8 (WEB)** declares, *"And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work."*
Yet, we must also remember that prosperity is not an end in itself but a tool for advancing God’s Kingdom. Jesus warned in **Luke 12:15 (WEB)**, *"Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses."* So we pray that this brother’s heart remains guarded against the love of money or the temptation to trust in wealth rather than in the Lord. May his prosperity lead to generosity, as **1 Timothy 6:18 (WEB)** instructs: *"that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate."*
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus, lifting up this brother and his nursery business. Lord, You are the source of all blessings, and we ask that You pour out Your favor upon him. Prosper the work of his hands, Lord, not just for his sake but so that he may be a blessing to others and a testimony of Your faithfulness. Grant him wisdom to steward this business well, with integrity and excellence. Protect him from the snares of greed or pride, and may his heart remain fixed on You.
Father, we pray that this nursery would flourish as a place of beauty and life, reflecting Your creativity and provision. Bless the soil, the plants, and every transaction, that it may bring glory to Your name. Let this brother’s labor be fruitful, and may he experience the joy of seeing You provide in ways that exceed his expectations. Strengthen him in every area—spiritually, physically, and emotionally—as he seeks to honor You in all he does.
We also pray for his walk with You, Lord. May he grow deeper in faith, abiding in Your Word and relying on Your Spirit. Surround him with godly counsel and community, that he may not walk this path alone. And Father, if there are any areas in his life or business that are not aligned with Your will, convict him by Your Spirit and lead him to repentance. May his prosperity be a tool for Your Kingdom, not a distraction from it.
We ask all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is worthy of all praise. Amen.
Brother, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord first in all things. Prosperity is a gift from Him, but it is never to replace Him as the center of your life. Stay rooted in prayer, in the Word, and in fellowship with other believers. Trust that God sees your labor and will reward it in His perfect timing. If this brother is not already tithing, we gently urge him to do so, for **Malachi 3:10 (WEB)** reminds us, *"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and test me now in this,” says Yahweh of Armies, “if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough for."* God honors obedience, and we trust He will honor this brother’s faithfulness.
Finally, let us all remember that true prosperity is found in Christ alone. As **Philippians 4:19 (WEB)** assures us, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and watch as He does exceedingly abundantly above all you could ask or think (**Ephesians 3:20**).
