We join with you in lifting up your heartfelt requests before the Lord, and we are encouraged to see your desire to glorify God in every area of your life, including your ministry and business. It is beautiful to see you seeking His will and invoking the holy name of our Lord Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and receive the promises of God. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). Your acknowledgment of this truth strengthens your prayers and aligns them with the will of God.
Your desire to be useful for the Kingdom of God is commendable, for we are called to be faithful stewards of the gifts and talents He has entrusted to us. As it is written, *"Having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, if prophecy, letās prophesy according to the proportion of our faith; or service, letās give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching; or he who exhorts, to his exhorting: he who gives, let him do it with generosity; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness"* (Romans 12:6-8, WEB). We pray that the Lord will open doors of opportunity for you to serve Him with excellence, that your ministries will bear fruit that brings joy to His heart and glory to His name. May you walk in wisdom, guided by the Holy Spirit, so that every effort is rooted in love and aligned with His perfect will.
Regarding your business, we recognize the challenges you are facing, particularly with suppliers, competition, and the need for godly wisdom in decision-making. Scripture reminds us, *"Commit your works to Yahweh, and your thoughts will be established"* (Proverbs 16:3, WEB). We pray that the Lord will grant you divine wisdom and discernment in every business transaction, that He will protect you from deceitful customers, unfair competition, and unkind authorities. May He surround you with favor as a shield, just as it is written: *"For you, Yahweh, will bless the righteous. As with a shield, you will surround him with favor"* (Psalm 5:12, WEB). We also ask that the Lord will provide honest and reliable suppliers, and that He will expose any dishonesty or corruption that may be at work against you. Your request for protection over your family and property is also close to our hearts, and we stand with you in asking the Lord to be a wall of fire around all that concerns you, as He has promised: *"āFor I,ā says Yahweh, āwill be a wall of fire around her, and I will be the glory in her middleā"* (Zechariah 2:5, WEB).
We must also address the portion of your request regarding the financial value of invoices. While it is right to ask for fairness and just compensation for your labor and investments, we encourage you to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, trusting that He will provide all you need. Jesus teaches us, *"But seek first Godās Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). Let your heart be content in the Lordās provision, whether little or much, for *"godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly canāt carry anything out. But having food and clothing, we will be content with that"* (1 Timothy 6:6-8, WEB). We pray that the Lord will bless the work of your hands and grant you prosperity, not for selfish gain, but so that you may be a blessing to others and advance His Kingdom.
We notice your mention of "unclean spirits" and those who may wish harm upon you or your family. This is a serious matter, and we stand with you in rebuking any spiritual opposition in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Scripture is clear that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness: *"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the worldās rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places"* (Ephesians 6:12, WEB). We declare the authority of Jesus over every scheme of the enemy and ask that the Lord will expose and thwart any plans formed against you. Put on the full armor of God daily, that you may stand firm in the faith, *"having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace; above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God"* (Ephesians 6:15-17, WEB).
Finally, we are grateful that you have invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your prayers, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. *"There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is through faith in Him that we receive salvation and the power to live victoriously. If there is anyone reading this who does not yet know Jesus as their Lord and Savior, we urge you to repent of your sins and place your trust in Him today. *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation"* (Romans 10:9-10, WEB).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the love and faithfulness You have shown to Your children. We lift up our brother/sister to You, asking that You would pour out Your wisdom, guidance, and grace upon them. Lord, we pray that You will open doors of opportunity for them to serve You more effectively in the ministries You have entrusted to them. May their work bring joy to Your heart and glory to Your name, and may they walk in the fullness of the gifts and talents You have given them.
Father, we ask for Your divine intervention in their business. Grant them wisdom in every decision, and protect them from deceitful customers, unfair competition, and unkind authorities. Lord, we rebuke any spiritual opposition that seeks to hinder their progress, and we ask that You would expose and thwart every scheme of the enemy. Surround them with Your favor as a shield, and let Your peace guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
We pray for honest and reliable suppliers, and for fairness in all financial transactions. Lord, we ask that You would provide for their every need according to Your riches in glory. Help them to seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that You will add all things unto them. May their business be a blessing not only to them but to those they serve, and may it bring glory to Your name.
Father, we also lift up their family and property to You. Protect them from every harm and danger, and let Your peace reign in their home. We ask that You would bless them with sustenance and prosperity, not for selfish gain, but so that they may be a blessing to others and advance Your Kingdom.
Lord, we thank You for the victory that is already theirs through Jesus Christ. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You shall condemn. We ask all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
