Request for guidance

We hear your request for discernment and guidance regarding a business opportunity, and we stand with you in seeking the Lord’s wisdom. It is clear that past attempts have not yielded success, and we understand the weight of seeking God’s direction in such matters. The Word reminds us, *"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths"* (Proverbs 3:5-6). This is not merely about business success but about aligning your steps with God’s perfect will.
First, we must examine whether this opportunity honors God in its practices, ethics, and impact on others. Does it reflect the principles of honesty, integrity, and stewardship that Scripture commands? *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men"* (Colossians 3:23). If there is any doubt about the morality or righteousness of this venture, we must pause and seek clarity from the Holy Spirit. The Lord does not call us to pursue gain at the expense of His truth.
We also recognize the importance of seeking godly counsel. *"Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established"* (Proverbs 15:22). Have you consulted with mature believers who can offer wisdom and perspective? Sometimes, the Lord uses the insight of others to confirm or redirect our steps.
Let us also address the matter of perseverance versus divine redirection. Failure in one endeavor does not necessarily mean the door is closed forever, but it may be an opportunity to refine your approach or wait on the Lord’s timing. *"Wait for the Lord. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the Lord"* (Psalm 27:14). Are you rushing ahead in your own strength, or are you patiently seeking God’s leading?
We must rebuke any spirit of fear, doubt, or self-reliance that may be hindering your discernment. The enemy seeks to distract and discourage, but God has not given us a spirit of fear. *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7). Stand firm in faith, knowing that the Lord is your provider and guide.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, seeking Your wisdom and guidance for this business opportunity. Lord, we ask that You would grant clear discernment, revealing whether this path aligns with Your will. If it is not of You, we pray for the courage to walk away and trust in Your provision. If it is Your plan, we ask for the strength, resources, and favor to move forward in obedience.
Father, we rebuke any spirit of confusion, fear, or self-doubt that may be clouding this decision. We declare that Your Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path (Psalm 119:105). We surrender this opportunity to You, asking that You would open doors no man can shut and close doors no man can open (Revelation 3:7). Teach us to wait on You, to seek Your face, and to trust in Your perfect timing.
Lord, we also pray for godly counsel and wisdom from those You have placed in our lives. Surround us with believers who can speak truth and encouragement into this situation. May we walk in integrity, honoring You in all our dealings, and may this opportunity, if it is Your will, bring glory to Your name.
We thank You, Father, for Your faithfulness and for hearing our prayer. We trust in You alone, knowing that every good and perfect gift comes from You (James 1:17). In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
Continue to seek the Lord diligently in this matter, and remember that His ways are higher than ours. *"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways," says the Lord. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts"* (Isaiah 55:8-9). Walk in faith, and He will direct your steps.
