We join you in lifting up your heart’s desires before the Lord, and we are grateful you have sought His will in all things through the holy name of Jesus Christ. Your prayer is deeply rooted in a desire to glorify God in your ministry, business, and every aspect of your life, and we commend you for this. The Scriptures remind us in **Colossians 3:17**, *"Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him."* And again in **1 Corinthians 10:31**, *"Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."* Your heart aligns with these truths, and we pray the Lord will honor your commitment to His glory.
We also take note of your diligence in invoking the name of Jesus Christ in every petition. This is right and good, for **Acts 4:12** declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved."* And **John 14:13-14** assures us, *"Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."* You have done well to approach the throne of grace through Jesus, our only Mediator.
Now, let us pray together for the matters you have brought before us.
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the faithfulness of this Your servant, who seeks first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness in all things. Lord, You have called us to be stewards of the gifts, talents, and resources You have entrusted to us, and we ask that You would grant this brother abundant wisdom, discernment, and favor as he labors for Your glory. Your Word tells us in **James 1:5**, *"But 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."* Father, pour out Your wisdom upon him, that he may walk in Your will and make decisions that align with Your perfect plan.
We lift up his ministries before You, Lord, and ask that You would anoint his efforts for Your Kingdom. May every word spoken, every act of service, and every seed sown bring joy to Your heart and glory to Your name. As **1 Corinthians 3:6-7** reminds us, *"I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase."* Father, let this brother be a faithful planter and waterer, trusting You for the increase. Use him mightily to advance Your Kingdom, and may his labor bear fruit that remains for eternity.
We also bring his business before You, Lord. You are the God who provides, and we ask that You would bless the work of his hands. **Deuteronomy 28:8** says, *"Yahweh will command the blessing on you in your barns, and in all that you put your hand to; and he will bless you in the land which Yahweh your God gives you."* Father, we pray for Your blessing upon his business—upon the goods he sells, the decisions he makes, and the relationships he builds with customers and suppliers. Grant him favor with those he encounters, and protect him from dishonest or deceptive individuals. Your Word warns us in **Proverbs 11:1**, *"A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, but accurate weights are his delight."* May integrity and honesty mark every transaction, and may his business be a testimony of Your goodness.
Lord, we specifically lift up the challenges he faces with his cosmetic supplier. Father, You are the God who makes a way where there seems to be no way. We ask that You would provide clear guidance, wisdom, and a resolution that honors You. If there are those who seek to take advantage of him or act unjustly, we pray that You would expose their motives and thwart their plans. **Proverbs 22:12** tells us, *"Yahweh’s eyes watch over knowledge; but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful."* Father, let Your justice prevail, and grant him favor in this situation. We also pray for protection over his finances, that every invoice would be accurate and reflect the true value of what has been purchased. You are a God of order and fairness, and we trust You to intervene on his behalf.
Father, we ask that You would surround him, his family, and his property with Your divine protection. **Psalm 91:9-10** assures us, *"Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling."* Lord, we declare Your protection over every area of his life. Rebuke any unclean spirits or individuals who seek to harm him, his family, or his business. Let no weapon formed against him prosper, and let every tongue that rises against him in judgment be condemned (**Isaiah 54:17**). We pray that You would place a hedge of protection around him, his family, and all that belongs to him, in the mighty name of Jesus.
Father, we also ask that You would grant him godly business acumen. **Proverbs 3:5-6** instructs us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* Lord, may he lean not on his own understanding but trust wholly in You. Give him insight, creativity, and strategies that align with Your will. Let his business thrive not for his own gain, but for Your glory and the advancement of Your Kingdom.
We pray against any form of unfair competition, unkind tax officials, or audits that seek to hinder Your blessings upon him. **Proverbs 16:7** says, *"When a man’s ways please Yahweh, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him."* Father, let his ways please You, and turn the hearts of those who might oppose him. Grant him favor in the eyes of those in authority, and let every interaction be marked by Your peace and justice.
Lord, we ask that You would turn everything around for his good. **Romans 8:28** promises, *"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."* Father, we trust that You are working all things together for his good and Your glory. Let him see Your hand at work in every circumstance, and may his testimony be one of Your faithfulness and provision.
Finally, Father, we pray that You would bless him with sustenance and provision for his every need. **Philippians 4:19** reminds us, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* Lord, we thank You that You are his Provider, and we trust You to meet his needs abundantly. May he never lack any good thing, and may his heart overflow with gratitude for Your goodness.
We pray all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. May Your will be done in his life, and may You receive all the glory, honor, and praise. Amen.
Brother, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in all things. Your desire to honor Him in your ministry and business is commendable, and we trust that He will guide your steps. Remember that **Proverbs 16:3** tells us, *"Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* Keep committing your ways to Him, and trust that He is faithful to lead you.
We also remind you to remain steadfast in prayer and in the Word. **1 Thessalonians 5:17** urges us to *"pray without ceasing,"* and **Psalm 1:2-3** blesses those who delight in the law of the Lord, promising that *"whatever he does shall prosper."* Stay rooted in Scripture, and let it be a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (**Psalm 119:105**).
Lastly, we encourage you to guard your heart against anxiety or fear. **Philippians 4:6-7** tells us, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."* Trust in the Lord’s provision and timing, and rest in His peace.
May the Lord bless you abundantly as you seek to honor Him in all things. We are standing with you in prayer, believing that God will move mightily on your behalf. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (**Hebrews 12:2**), and walk in the confidence that He who began a good work in you will complete it (**Philippians 1:6**).
