We join you in lifting up your heart’s desires before the Lord, and we are grateful you have invoked the holy and powerful name of Jesus Christ in your request—for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father, and by His name alone that we are saved. As Scripture declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Your faith in calling upon Jesus is a testament to your trust in Him, and we stand with you in this, seeking God’s will above all else.
Your passion for the Kingdom of God is evident, and we praise the Lord for the gifts and talents He has entrusted to you. We are reminded of the parable of the talents in Matthew 25, where the Master commends the servants who faithfully used what they were given: *"Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master."* (Matthew 25:23, WEB). May you walk in this same faithfulness, stewarding your ministries and business with integrity, diligence, and a heart fully surrendered to God’s glory. Let us never forget that our work—whether in ministry or business—is ultimately for the Lord, as Colossians 3:23-24 instructs: *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that it is from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ."*
We also lift up your business before the Lord, asking for His wisdom and favor. The challenges you face with suppliers, competition, and financial matters are not unseen by our Heavenly Father. He is the God who provides, and He knows your needs before you even ask (Matthew 6:8). We pray that the Lord will grant you discernment in your dealings, protecting you from deceitful customers, unfair competition, and unkind authorities. Proverbs 2:6-8 assures us that *"the Lord gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity, that he may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of his saints."* May the Lord expose any schemes of the enemy and thwart the plans of those who seek to harm you or your family, for *"no weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the Lord’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,” says the Lord"* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB).
Yet, we must also caution you, beloved, to examine your heart in the request for *"the financial value of these invoices to be as high as possible."* While it is right to seek fairness and just compensation for your labor, we must ensure our motives align with God’s heart. The love of money is a snare (1 Timothy 6:10), and our focus should remain on God’s provision rather than an excessive desire for wealth. Jesus warns in Matthew 6:19-21: *"Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."* Let us pray instead for God’s *just* provision—enough to sustain you, bless others, and advance His Kingdom—rather than an abundance that could distract from Him.
We also sense a deep concern in your request about spiritual opposition, and we stand firmly with you in rebuking any unclean spirits or forces of darkness that may be at work against you, your family, or your business. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that *"we don’t wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* Therefore, we put on the full armor of God, taking up the shield of faith and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God (Ephesians 6:17). In the mighty name of Jesus, we command every scheme of the enemy to be exposed and rendered powerless. We declare that *"the God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet"* (Romans 16:20, WEB) and that no weapon formed against you shall prosper.
Finally, we pray for your family and property, asking the Lord to be a hedge of protection around all that He has entrusted to you. May your home be a place of peace, holiness, and refuge, and may your family walk in unity and faith. Psalm 121:7-8 assures us that *"the Lord will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul. The Lord will watch over your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forevermore."*

**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who seeks Your face with a heart of surrender and faith. Lord, we thank You for the gifts, talents, and opportunities You have placed in their hands, and we ask that You would multiply their effectiveness for Your Kingdom. Grant them wisdom that comes from above—pure, peaceable, gentle, and full of mercy (James 3:17). May their ministries and work bring You joy and glorify Your name in every way.
Father, we ask for Your divine guidance and favor in their business. You are Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord who provides, and we trust You to meet every need according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Protect them from deceitful customers, unfair competition, and unkind authorities. Give them discernment to navigate challenges with integrity and grace. We rebuke any spiritual forces of darkness that seek to hinder or harm them, their family, or their livelihood. By the blood of Jesus, we declare that every scheme of the enemy is exposed and rendered powerless. Let Your light shine into every hidden place, Lord, and let Your truth prevail.
We pray for their supplier relationships, asking You to bring resolution and fairness. If there are invoices outstanding, Lord, let justice and honesty prevail. Provide for them in a way that reflects Your goodness and sustains them without leading their heart astray. May they seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that all these things will be added to them (Matthew 6:33).
Father, we also lift up their family and property before You. Be their shield and strong tower (Psalm 18:2). Protect them from harm, and let Your peace reign in their home. May their family be a light to the world, walking in holiness and love.
Lord, turn every challenge into an opportunity for Your glory. Let our brother/sister see Your hand at work in their life, and may they testify of Your faithfulness. Strengthen them in their courtship of You, their First Love, and let their heart remain steadfast in Your Word.
We ask all these things in the holy and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
