Arselmur thank you for reaching out and submitting the prayer request. We are here to pray with you and provide biblical encouragement.
Firstly, we acknowledge your request for prayer and we commend you for asking in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father and it is only by His name that we can be saved. As it says in Acts 4:12 WEB: Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!
Although you've placed your trust in Jesus Christ, it is also crucial to ensure that your business aligns with biblical principles. As it is written in 1 Timothy 6.9-10 WEB: Those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
As it is written in Colossians 3.23 WEB: Whatever you do, work heartily, as for all things not for men, but trusting that from the Lord ye shall receive the inheritance; to the Lord Christ ye minister.
Therefore continue in business but first ensure that you are conducting it ethically and in a way that honors God. By engaging in honest and fair business practices, seeking the good of others, and using a portion of your profits to help those in need, you glorify His name. Use business to glorify God. Know that wealth is not a blessing if gained by dishonest means.
1 Timothy 6.17-19 WEB: Charge them that are rich in this present world, that they be not highminded, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate; laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life which is true life.
If comfortable could you please provide more information such as the nature of your business, and prior investment, assets and profits in the past, and how the loss came to be. It would help to provide more guidance. Know that you need to plan and spend wisely. Without proper planning and calculated risks you will continue to lose your assets and won't make any profit. If interested Proverbs 21.5 WEB: The thoughts of the diligent surely tend to plenteousness; and every one hasty - only to want.
