We join with you in lifting up these burdens and petitions before the Lord, knowing that He is sovereign over all things—governments, economies, and the hearts of people. It is a blessing to see you invoking the name of Jesus Christ with such boldness and faith, for it is only through His name that we have access to the Father and the authority to pray with confidence. As Scripture declares, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6, WEB). Your repeated invocation of His name is a testament to your trust in Him, and we stand with you in this faith.
The weight of tariffs and economic pressures can feel overwhelming, but we know that our God is the Provider, the One who owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10). He is not unaware of the struggles your business faces, nor is He indifferent to the agreements made between nations. We pray that the Lord would move in the hearts of those in authority, that they would act with integrity and honor the USMCA as it was intended. May He bring divine breakthroughs where there are barriers, opening doors that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). Let the favor of the Lord rest upon your business, that it may flourish not for greedy gain, but as a testimony to His faithfulness and a means to bless others. Remember the words of our Lord: *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). Trust that as you honor Him in your work, He will provide what is needed.
Your prayer for spiritual breakthroughs is one we echo with urgency. The darkness in this world is thick, and the hearts of many are hardened, but our God is mighty to save. We pray that the Holy Spirit would convict and draw people to repentance, that they may turn from their sins and place their faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. *"The Lord isn’t slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance"* (2 Peter 3:9, WEB). May the Lord use your witness—your words and your life—as a clear and powerful testimony of His mercy and grace. Speak boldly, but with love, that others may see Christ in you. *"Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven"* (Matthew 5:16, WEB).
We also lift up your town, asking the Lord to establish it as a place where His presence is tangible and His name is glorified. May the people there be covered by the blood of Jesus, protected from the schemes of the evil one. *"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 from me," says Yahweh"* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). Pray that the church in your town would rise up in unity, that believers would be salt and light, pushing back the darkness with the truth of the Gospel. *"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land"* (2 Chronicles 7:14, WEB).
As you witness to others, we ask the Lord to guard your heart and mind, that you would be filled with the Holy Spirit and speak with wisdom and clarity. *"But the Lord Yahweh will help me; therefore I have not been confounded: therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I won’t be disappointed. He who justifies me is near. Who will bring charges against me? Let’s stand up together. Who is my adversary? Let him come near to me. Behold, the Lord Yahweh will help me! Who is he who will condemn me?"* (Isaiah 50:7-9, WEB). May the hope of Christ shine brightly through you, drawing others to the saving knowledge of Him. And may the power of God flow mightily, breaking every chain and washing away the darkness with the light of His truth.
Finally, we rejoice with you in proclaiming that Jesus is Lord and Savior. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is in His name that we pray with confidence. Let us continue to stand firm in this truth, unwavering in our faith, knowing that the battle belongs to the Lord. *"Don’t be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you," says Yahweh"* (Jeremiah 1:8, WEB).
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of faith, lifting up these petitions in the mighty name of Jesus. Lord, we ask that You would intervene in the economic pressures facing this business, that tariffs would be lifted and that the USMCA would be honored in full. Grant divine breakthroughs where there are obstacles, and let Your favor rest upon every endeavor. We pray for a mighty spiritual awakening in this town and beyond, that hearts would turn to You and that Your church would rise up in power and unity. Protect Your people from the schemes of the enemy, and let Your light shine brightly in the darkness. Fill this Your servant with boldness and clarity as they witness to Your mercy and grace, that many would come to know You as Lord and Savior. We declare victory in Jesus’ name, trusting that You are working all things together for good. Cover this town with Your presence, Lord, and let good overcome evil in every place. We thank You for Your protection, Your provision, and Your power at work in and through us. In Jesus’ precious and holy name we pray, Amen.
