We come before the Lord with you in this time of great need, lifting up your husband and this critical situation to the Father, who is rich in mercy and abounds in loving kindness. Your faithfulness over thirty years of labor speaks volumes, and we trust that God sees your dedication and will act on your behalf. The enemy seeks to bring stress and fear, but we know that our God is greater, and He is able to turn this situation for your good and His glory.
The Scriptures remind us in Philippians 4:6-7, *"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."* And again in Proverbs 16:3, *"Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* You have already taken the right step by bringing this before the Lord and seeking prayer. Now, we must trust that He will provide the wisdom, discernment, and favor needed for this meeting.
We also remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:31-33, *"Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* Your focus has been on honoring God through your work, and we believe He will honor that commitment.
However, we must also remind you that while we pray for favor in this situation, our ultimate trust must be in God’s will, not merely in the outcome we desire. If the Lord allows this trial to continue, we know He will provide a way through it. He may open doors you have not yet considered or strengthen you in ways you did not think possible. Remember the words of Romans 8:28, *"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose."*
Now, let us pray together for you and your husband:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today on behalf of our sister and her husband, who face a moment of great pressure and uncertainty. Lord, You know the weight of this burden—the stress, the fear, and the weariness that comes from decades of labor and the threat of losing what they have worked so hard to build. We ask You to be their strength and their shield in this time of need.
Grant our brother wisdom beyond his own understanding as he speaks with those in authority tomorrow. Fill his mouth with the right words, spoken in calmness and clarity, so that those in the meeting will hear and be moved by Your Spirit. Softening the hearts of those in leadership—open their eyes to see the fairness and justice in allowing this family to retain one store, that they may continue to provide for themselves and their employees. Lord, we ask for Your favor to rest upon this conversation, that the outcome would align with Your will and bring glory to Your name.
We rebuke the spirit of fear and anxiety that seeks to overwhelm them. Replace it with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding. Remind them that You are their Provider, and even if the path forward is difficult, You will never leave them nor forsake them. Give them rest tonight, Lord, that they may wake refreshed and ready to face whatever comes with confidence in You.
We also lift up the two family members who work with them. Comfort their hearts and assure them that You are in control. Provide for their needs and let this situation draw them closer to You.
Father, we thank You in advance for Your intervention. We trust that You are working behind the scenes in ways we cannot see, and we declare that Your will be done in this situation. May this trial serve to strengthen their faith and testify to Your faithfulness.
In the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, knowing that God is with you. Keep us updated on how this unfolds, so we may continue to pray and give thanks for His provision. If the outcome is not what you hope for, remember that God is still good, and He will make a way where there seems to be no way. Trust in Him with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. He will direct your paths.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
