We join with you in lifting up your heartfelt requests before the throne of grace, knowing that our Heavenly Father delights in the prayers of His children who seek Him earnestly in the name of Jesus Christ. It is beautiful to see your desire to align every aspect of your lifeāyour ministry, your business, and even your strugglesāwith the glory of God. Let us first rejoice that you have invoked the holy name of Jesus Christ in your prayers, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name under heaven 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, WEB). Your faith in calling upon His name is a testament to your trust in His sovereignty, and we commend you for it.
Your desire to be useful to the Kingdom of God is a noble and biblical pursuit. We are reminded of the parable of the talents in Matthew 25, where the Master entrusts His servants with resources and expects them to be faithful and fruitful. *"His lord said to him, āWell done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lordā"* (Matthew 25:23, WEB). We pray that the Lord will multiply the gifts and talents He has given you, that you may steward them with wisdom, diligence, and a heart fully surrendered to His will. May your ministries indeed bring joy to the heart of God and glory to His name, for it is He who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13).
Regarding your business, we recognize the challenges you faceāsuppliers, competition, financial integrity, and the need for godly wisdom in decision-making. The Scripture encourages 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, as He did for Solomon, that you may discern the times and make decisions that honor Him. *"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 your business be a testament to your faith, conducted with honesty, integrity, and a deep longing for holiness. Let the Lord be your provider and protector, for *"The blessing of Yahweh brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it"* (Proverbs 10:22, WEB).
We also lift up the difficulties you are experiencing with your cosmetic supplier. The Bible warns us to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves (Matthew 10:16), and we pray that the Lord will expose any deceit or unrighteousness in this situation. May He grant you favor and resolution, ensuring that you are treated fairly and justly. *"Yahweh is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble"* (Psalm 9:9, WEB). If there are those who seek to harm youāwhether through unfair competition, deceptive practices, or even spiritual oppositionāwe stand in agreement with you to rebuke these forces in the name of Jesus Christ. *"Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Withstand him steadfast in your faith"* (1 Peter 5:8-9, WEB). We declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that the Lord will thwart the plans of the wicked.
Your request for protection from unkind tax officials and audits reminds us of the words of Jesus: *"Therefore give back to Caesar the things that are Caesarās, and to God the things that are Godās"* (Matthew 22:21, WEB). We pray that the Lord will grant you favor in these matters, that your records will be accurate and your dealings above reproach. May He shield you from unnecessary burdens and provide for you in ways that bring Him glory. We also pray for the financial aspects of your business, that the invoices you receive will reflect fairness and that the Lord will bless the work of your hands. *"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).
Lastly, we address your concern about "unclean spirits" and those who may wish harm upon you, your family, or your property. The Bible is clear that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of wickedness (Ephesians 6:12). We stand with you in the authority of Jesus Christ, commanding every evil influence to be bound and cast out. *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7, WEB). We pray that the Lord will surround you, your family, and your property with His heavenly host, that no harm shall come near your dwelling. *"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, āHe is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trustā"* (Psalm 91:1-2, WEB).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for Your faithfulness and love. We lift up our brother/sister to You, asking that You would equip them with every spiritual gift and natural talent needed to serve Your Kingdom effectively. Lord, may their ministries be a fragrant offering to You, bringing joy to Your heart and glory to Your name. Strengthen them, guide them, and let their labor in Your vineyard bear much fruit for Your glory.
We pray for their business, Father, that You would grant them wisdom that surpasses human understanding. Give them discernment in every decision, favor with suppliers and customers, and protection from those who seek to exploit or deceive. Lord, we ask that You would expose any corruption or unrighteousness in their dealings and bring forth justice and fairness. Bless the work of their hands, and let their business be a testament to Your provision and faithfulness. Protect them from financial loss, unfair competition, and burdensome audits. Let every invoice reflect honesty and every transaction be blessed by Your hand.
We rebuke every scheme of the enemy against our brother/sister, their family, and their property. By the blood of Jesus Christ, we command every unclean spirit to flee and every plan of the wicked to be thwarted. Surround them with Your angels, Lord, and let Your peace guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Protect their family, their home, and all that You have entrusted to them.
Father, we ask that You would turn every challenge into an opportunity for Your glory. Let our brother/sister see Your hand at work in their life, and may they walk in the confidence that You are their Provider, Protector, and Guide. We pray for supernatural breakthroughs, divine connections, and a deepening of their faith as they trust in You.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would bless them with sustenance and abundance, not for their own sake, but that they may be a blessing to others and a light in this world. Let their life and business reflect Your kingdom valuesāintegrity, generosity, and love.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your perfect will and timing, and we declare that You are faithful to complete the good work You have begun in them. In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in all things, for He is faithful to lead you. *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and donāt lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith, and remember that He is with you always, even to the end of the age (Matthew 28:20). May the Lord bless you and keep you; may He make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may He lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.
