We join with you in lifting up your heartfelt requests before the Lord, rejoicing that you have sought Him first in all things and invoked the holy name of our Lord Jesus Christ, for it is written, *"I will do whatever you ask in my name, that the Father may be glorified in the Son"* (John 14:13, WEB). Your desire to bring glory to God in your ministry and business is a testament to a heart surrendered to His will, and we commend you for seeking His wisdom and guidance in every area of your life.
Your request reflects a deep longing to steward well the gifts, talents, and opportunities God has entrusted to you. We are reminded of the parable of the talents, where Jesus teaches that those who faithfully use what the Master has given will be entrusted with even more (Matthew 25:14-30, WEB). You have asked for wisdom, and we know that *"if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him"* (James 1:5, WEB). Let us pray that you will walk in the wisdom that comes from above, which is *"first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy"* (James 3:17, WEB).
We also lift up your business before the Lord, asking that He would grant you favor, integrity, and discernment in all your dealings. The Scriptures remind us that *"The Lord blesses his people with peace; he gives the best land to them as their possession"* (Psalm 29:11, WEB) and that *"unless the Lord builds the house, they who build it labor in vain"* (Psalm 127:1, WEB). Your business is not merely a means of provision but an opportunity to reflect Christās character in the marketplace. We pray that your work will be marked by honesty, excellence, and a testimony that points others to the Gospel. *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ"* (Colossians 3:23-24, WEB).
Your request for protection from deceitful customers, unfair competition, and unkind authorities is one we take seriously. The Bible warns us that *"the heart is deceitful above all things"* (Jeremiah 17:9, WEB), and we live in a world where many operate by selfish ambition rather than godly integrity. Yet we are assured that *"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 Lordās servants, and their righteousness is of me,ā says the Lord"* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). We declare this promise over you, your family, and your business, asking that the Lord would expose any hidden schemes and frustrate the plans of those who seek to harm or exploit you. May the Lord surround you as *"a wall of fire around"* (Zechariah 2:5, WEB) and grant you favor even in the midst of challenges.
We also address your concern about the cosmetic supplier and the financial discrepancies you are facing. The Bible is clear that *"the Lord detests differing weights, and dishonest scales are not pleasing to him"* (Proverbs 20:23, WEB). We pray that the Lord would bring to light any injustice and provide you with clear direction on how to proceed. If there has been any wrongdoing on your partāeven unintentionallyāwe urge you to seek reconciliation and restitution, for *"the integrity of the upright shall guide them, but the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them"* (Proverbs 11:3, WEB). Trust that the Lord sees your heart and will vindicate you as you walk in righteousness.
Your request for protection against unclean spirits and those who may wish harm upon you, your family, or your property is one we echo with authority in the name of Jesus. The Scriptures declare that *"greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB). We stand against any spiritual opposition in the mighty name of Jesus, commanding every unclean spirit to flee and declaring that *"no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways"* (Psalm 91:10-11, WEB). We pray that the blood of Jesus would cover you, your family, and all that belongs to you, rendering every attack of the enemy powerless.
We also note your request regarding the financial value of invoices and ask that you examine your heart in this matter. While it is right to seek fairness and just compensation for your labor, we must always guard against greed or a desire for unjust gain. The Bible warns, *"Donāt be greedy for money, but be content with what you have; for he has said, āI will never leave you or abandon youā"* (Hebrews 13:5, WEB). We pray that the Lord would provide for your needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19, WEB) and that your heart would remain fixed on His kingdom rather than earthly profit. May your business thrive not for the sake of wealth alone, but so that you may *"do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, storing up for yourselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, that you may take hold of eternal life"* (1 Timothy 6:18-19, WEB).
Finally, we rejoice that you have invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your prayers, for *"there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is only through Christ that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name that we boldly approach the throne of grace. We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord daily, surrendering every aspect of your lifeāministry, business, family, and futureāto His perfect will. Remember that *"delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in him, and he will do this"* (Psalm 37:4-5, WEB).

Help him/her to remain content in You, trusting that You will supply all his/her needs according to Your riches in glory.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would align the desires of his/her heart with Your will. May he/she seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, knowing that all these things will be added as well.
