We join with you in lifting up your heartfelt requests before the Lord, and we are encouraged to see your earnest desire to bring glory to His name in every area of your life. It is beautiful to see your dependence on Jesus Christ, as you have rightly invoked His holy name in your petitions, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB), and *"whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son"* (John 14:13, WEB). Your faith in calling upon the name of Jesus is a testament to your trust in His sovereignty, and we stand with you in this.
Your desire to be useful to the Kingdom of God is a noble and biblical pursuit. The Apostle Paul urges us to *"walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God"* (Colossians 1:10, WEB). We pray that the Lord will indeed open doors of opportunity for you to serve Him faithfully, using the gifts and talents He has entrusted to you. May He grant you wisdom 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). Let your ministries be a fragrant offering to the Lord, bringing joy to His heart and advancing His Kingdom for His glory alone.
Regarding your business, we recognize that it is a platform God has given you to steward well for His purposes. Scripture reminds us that *"whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ"* (Colossians 3:23-24, WEB). We pray that the Lord will grant you diligence, integrity, and a deep longing for holiness in all your dealings. May He bless the work of your hands, that your goods may be a blessing to your clients and a testimony of God’s goodness. *"You shall remember Yahweh your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as it is today"* (Deuteronomy 8:18, WEB). We ask that God will grant you favor in your business acumen, that your decisions may align with His will and bring Him glory.
We also lift up the challenges you are facing with your cosmetic supplier and the financial concerns surrounding your invoices. The Lord is not unaware of your struggles, and He invites you to cast all your anxieties upon Him, *"because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7, WEB). We pray for divine wisdom and guidance in navigating these difficulties, that God would expose any deceit or unfairness and provide you with clear direction. *"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). May the Lord turn what the enemy intends for harm into good, as He did for Joseph, who declared to his brothers, *"You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good"* (Genesis 50:20, WEB).
We stand in agreement with you against any spiritual opposition or unclean spirits that may be at work against you, your business, your family, or your property. The Lord has given us authority in the name of Jesus to tread upon the enemy, and we declare 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 Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is of me, says Yahweh"* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). We rebuke any schemes of the enemy and ask that the Lord would thwart the plans of those who seek to harm you. May His protection be a shield around you, your family, and all that belongs to you.
We also pray for protection from unfair competition, unkind tax officials, and audits that could bring unnecessary hardship. *"The Lord is your keeper. The Lord is your shade on your right hand. The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more"* (Psalm 121:5-8, WEB). May the Lord go before you and make your paths straight, granting you favor even in the sight of those who may not have your best interests at heart.
Finally, we encourage you to remain steadfast in your faith, knowing that God is faithful to complete the work He has begun in you. *"Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we don’t give up"* (Galatians 6:9, WEB). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith, and trust that He is working all things together for your good and His glory.
