We join with you in lifting up your heartfelt requests before the Father, and we are grateful that you have sought His will in all these matters in the holy and mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is a joy to see your desire to bring glory to God in every area of your life—your ministry, your business, and your family. Let us first affirm the truth that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name alone that our prayers are heard. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5). And again, *"No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6). Your acknowledgment of this truth in your requests is a testament to your faith, and we rejoice in that.
Your desire to be useful to the Kingdom of God is commendable, for we are all called to be faithful stewards of the gifts and talents He has entrusted to us. The Apostle Peter reminds us, *"As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms"* (1 Peter 4:10). We pray that the Lord will open doors for you to serve Him with excellence, that your ministries will bear fruit that brings joy to His heart, and that every effort will be for His glory alone. May you walk in the wisdom that comes from above, as James tells us: *"But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy"* (James 3:17). Let this wisdom guide your steps as you seek to honor Him in all things.
Regarding your business, we recognize that it is a platform God has given you to reflect His character—through diligence, integrity, and a heart that longs for holiness. The Scripture exhorts us, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men"* (Colossians 3:23). We pray that the Lord will grant you favor in your business dealings, that He will bless the work of your hands, and that your goods will be a blessing both to your customers and to you. May your business acumen be sharpened by the Lord, and may He grant you discernment in every decision, that all may be done according to His will. We also lift up your request for protection from dishonest customers, unfair competition, and unkind officials. The Lord is your shield, and we trust Him to guard you against those who would seek to harm or deceive. *"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 Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is of me,” says Yahweh"* (Isaiah 54:17).
We are particularly burdened by the challenges you face with your cosmetic supplier. It is clear that this situation is causing you distress, and we ask the Lord to intervene mightily on your behalf. May He grant you wisdom to navigate this difficulty, and may He expose any deception or unfairness that is at play. If there are indeed unclean spirits or individuals seeking to thwart God’s blessings in your life, we stand in the authority of Jesus Christ to rebuke them. *"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 5:8-9a). We declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper, and we ask the Lord to turn this situation around for your good and His glory. Trust in Him, for He is faithful to deliver His children from the snares of the enemy.
We also pray for the financial aspects of your business, that the Lord will ensure you receive accurate invoices that reflect the true value of your purchases. We ask that He will provide for you abundantly, not so that you may hoard wealth for yourself, but that you may be a blessing to others and advance His Kingdom. Remember the words of our Lord Jesus: *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33). Let your heart be fixed on Him, and trust that He will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to remain steadfast in prayer and in the Word of God. The challenges you face are not insurmountable for our Lord, who holds all things in His hands. *"Don’t be anxious for anything, 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"* (Philippians 4:6-7). Cling to this promise, and let the peace of God rule in your heart as you wait upon Him.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today on behalf of our brother/sister in Christ, lifting up every request and burden to You in the mighty name of Jesus. Lord, we thank You for the gifts and talents You have placed within them, and we ask that You would open doors of opportunity for them to be used mightily for Your Kingdom. Grant them wisdom, guidance, and grace to walk in a manner worthy of Your calling. May their ministries bring You joy and glorify Your holy name.
We pray for their business, Lord, that You would bless the work of their hands. Grant them diligence, faithfulness, and a heart that longs for holiness in all their dealings. Protect them from dishonest customers, unfair competition, and unkind officials. Father, we ask that You would intervene in their situation with their supplier. Expose any deception, grant them wisdom to know how to proceed, and turn this circumstance around for their good and Your glory. Rebuke any unclean spirits or individuals who seek to harm them, their business, their family, or their property. Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them be condemned.
Lord, we pray for financial provision and accuracy in their invoices. Bless them with good business acumen, and let all their efforts be fruitful. May they seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that You will provide all they need. Protect their family, their assets, and every area of their life. Let Your favor surround them like a shield, and may they experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Father, we ask that You would work all things together for their good, as You have promised. Turn every challenge into a testimony of Your faithfulness. Strengthen them in their faith, and let them walk in the assurance that You are with them always. We pray all these things in the holy and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
