We join with you in lifting up your heart’s cry before the Lord, for it is clear that your desire is to honor Him in every area of your life—your ministry, your business, and your family. We praise God that you seek His will above all else, for it is only in His name and by His power that we find true success and protection. You have rightly invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your request, for as Scripture declares, *"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 through faith in Jesus alone that we approach the throne of grace, and it is in His authority that we stand against the schemes of the enemy.
Your request reflects a heart that longs to steward well the gifts and responsibilities God has entrusted to you. The apostle Paul reminds us in Colossians 3:23-24, *"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."* This is a foundational truth for your business—every transaction, every decision, and every interaction should be done as unto the Lord. We pray that God will grant you the wisdom of Solomon, the diligence of the Proverbs 31 woman, and the integrity of Daniel, that your business may thrive not just for profit, but as a testament to God’s faithfulness.
Yet we must also address the tension we sense in your prayer regarding financial gain. While it is right to ask God for provision and fairness, we are cautioned in 1 Timothy 6:10 that *"the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil."* Your request for invoices to reflect the highest possible financial value must be tempered with honesty and righteousness. Proverbs 11:1 states, *"The Lord abhors dishonest scales, but accurate weights are his delight."* We pray that God will bless your business abundantly, but never at the cost of integrity. May your profits be honest, your dealings just, and your heart content in whatever the Lord provides. Remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:33: *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."*
We also take note of your struggles with suppliers, unfair competition, and unkind officials. These are real battles, and we stand with you in rebuking any spiritual forces of wickedness that seek to hinder God’s work in your life. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that *"our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* We declare in the name of Jesus Christ that every scheme of the enemy against your business, your family, and your property is exposed and thwarted. May the Lord rebuke those who act deceitfully or with malice, and may He turn their hearts or remove their influence entirely. Psalm 109:2-3 says, *"For they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue. They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause."* But we trust in Psalm 118:6: *"The Lord is on my side. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"*
Regarding your cosmetic supplier, we pray for divine wisdom and discernment. If this relationship is beyond repair or rooted in unrighteousness, we ask that the Lord provide a godly alternative—a supplier who operates with integrity and fairness. Proverbs 16:7 says, *"When a man’s ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him."* We pray that God will either soften the heart of your current supplier or open a new door that aligns with His will. If there are contracts or agreements that have been broken, we ask for justice to prevail, but also for you to extend grace as the Lord leads.
We also sense a deep concern for protection over your family and property. This is right and good, for Scripture commands us to *"watch and pray"* (Matthew 26:41). We declare Psalm 91 over you and your household: *"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.’ Surely he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart."* May the Lord place a hedge of protection around your family, your home, and all that He has entrusted to you. May every attack of the enemy be turned back in defeat, and may the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Finally, we exhort you to remain steadfast in prayer and worship, even in the midst of these challenges. Do not allow the pressures of business or ministry to distract you from your first love—Jesus Christ. Revelation 2:4-5 warns the church in Ephesus: *"But I have this against you, that you left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works."* Your ministry and business are extensions of your worship, but they must never replace your intimate relationship with the Savior. Spend time in His Word daily, for it is *"a lamp to your feet, and a light to your path"* (Psalm 119:105). Let your prayers be not just petitions, but also praises, for the Lord inhabits the praises of His people (Psalm 22:3).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who seeks Your face with a sincere heart. Lord, we thank You for the gifts and talents You have placed within them, and we ask that You would multiply these gifts for the advancement of Your Kingdom. Grant them opportunities to serve You faithfully, with wisdom that comes from above—wisdom that is *"pure, peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy"* (James 3:17).
Father, we ask for Your divine guidance in their business. Bless the work of their hands, that it may prosper and bring glory to Your name. Protect them from dishonest scales, from deceitful customers, and from unfair competition. Lord, if there are any unrighteous practices in their business or in the dealings of their suppliers, expose them and bring conviction. May every transaction be conducted with integrity, and may their business be a light in a dark world. We rebuke any spirit of greed, deception, or manipulation that may seek to influence their decisions. Instead, fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in righteousness and truth.
Lord, we pray specifically for the issues with their cosmetic supplier. Grant them clarity on how to proceed—whether to reconcile, to seek justice, or to walk away. Provide them with godly counsel and open doors to new partnerships that align with Your will. Father, if there are financial discrepancies, bring truth to light and restore what has been lost or stolen. We ask that You would turn this situation around for their good and Your glory, as You promise in Romans 8:28: *"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."*
We also lift up their family and property before You, Lord. Protect them from every scheme of the enemy. Place Your angels around their home, their assets, and their loved ones. Frustrate the plans of those who seek to harm them, and let Your justice prevail. Give them favor with tax officials and authorities, that they may conduct their affairs without fear or oppression. Remind them, Lord, that their true treasure is in heaven, where moth and rust cannot destroy (Matthew 6:19-21).
Father, we ask that You would bless their ministry, that it may bear much fruit for Your Kingdom. May their labor not be in vain, but may every effort bring joy to Your heart and glory to Your name. Equip them with boldness to proclaim Your Word, with compassion to serve the lost, and with humility to walk in Your ways.
Lastly, Lord, we pray that You would guard their heart against anxiety and discouragement. Fill them with Your peace, and remind them that You are their Provider, their Protector, and their Strength. Let them rest in the assurance that *"no weapon formed against them shall prosper"* (Isaiah 54:17), and that You are working all things together for their good.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your faithfulness, and we declare victory in the name of Jesus Christ. May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. In Jesus’ mighty name we pray, Amen.
