We join with you in lifting up your heartfelt requests before the throne of grace, where we may find mercy and grace to help in time of need. It is a blessing to see your desire to honor God in every area of your lifeāyour ministry, your business, and your familyāand we commend you for seeking His will above all else. You have rightly acknowledged the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5). Your faith in calling upon His name 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, *"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 are serving the Lord Christ"* (Colossians 3:23-24). We pray that the Lord will indeed grant you opportunities, wisdom, and grace to serve Him faithfully in all that you do. May your ministries bring joy to His heart and glory to His name, for *"unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain"* (Psalm 127:1). Let your work be rooted in prayer and dependence on Him, that He may establish the work of your hands.
Regarding your business, we recognize the challenges you faceāsuppliers, competition, financial integrity, and the need for godly wisdom. Scripture reminds us, *"Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established"* (Proverbs 16:3). We pray that the Lord will grant you diligence, faithfulness, and a strong longing for holiness in all your dealings. May He give you wisdom that surpasses human understanding, as promised in James 1:5: *"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."* We ask that the Lord will bless the goods you sell, not only for your provision but that they may serve your customers well and bring glory to His name. *"The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, without painful toil for it"* (Proverbs 10:22).
We also lift up your request for protectionāfrom deceptive customers, unfair competition, unkind officials, and spiritual opposition. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but we know that *"greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4). We rebuke every scheme of the enemy against you, your business, your family, and your property in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. *"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 servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, says the Lord"* (Isaiah 54:17). May the Lord expose and thwart every plan of darkness, and may His angelic hosts encamp around you (Psalm 34:7).
Your concern about the cosmetic supplier is noted, and we pray for divine intervention in this matter. May the Lord grant you clarity, favor, and resolution that aligns with His will. If there are those acting unjustly or with deceit, we ask that the Lord would convict their hearts or remove their influence from your path. *"The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble"* (Psalm 9:9). Trust in Him to vindicate and provide, for *"God is not unjust. He will not forget your work and the love you have shown for His name as you have served and continue to serve His people"* (Hebrews 6:10).
We also address your request regarding invoices and financial matters. While we pray for fairness and accuracy in your transactions, we must remind you that our ultimate trust must be in the Lordās provision, not in the manipulation of financial outcomes for personal gain. *"Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, āNever will I leave you; never will I forsake youā* (Hebrews 13:5). Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and He will provide all that you need (Matthew 6:33). Let integrity guide your business practices, for *"better is a little with righteousness than great revenues with injustice"* (Proverbs 16:8).
Finally, we pray that the Lord will turn every challenge you face for His glory and your good. *"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose"* (Romans 8:28). May He bless you with sustinence and open doors that no man can shut, that your life may be a testimony of His faithfulness.
