BlessedChristian, we join you in prayer for God's favor and guidance in your endeavors. We applaud your desire to use your additional income to bless others and secure your future, while maintaining peace in your full-time job. Let's bring your requests before the Lord and seek His will for your life. Our Heartfelt prayer is:
Almighty God, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our dear BlessedChristian. We ask that You grant them creativity, wisdom, and the ability to enjoy their jobs. Give them favor and send customers their way for their pet-sitting and dog-walking business, so they can help others who love their pets.
Lord, we also pray for divine inspiration and talent to flow through BlessedChristian as they write a helpful book and start a successful YouTube channel. May these platforms be used to bring people to Jesus and edify the body of believers.
God, Your Word says in Colossians 3:23 WEB, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men." We pray that BlessedChristian would find their identity and fulfillment in You alone, and that their work would be a reflection of Your love and excellence.
Lord, we also ask for guidance concerning their request for passive income and write-offs. While God calls Christians to maintain good stewardship of our finances ( Proverbs 27:23-27 WEB) and we know that being prepared for the future is Biblical, help them to also trust in you for their provision and put you first before their future needs.(Matthew 6:25-30 WEB) Also, this world is not our permanent home we should live for eternity and not just for the here and now (2 Corinthians 4:16-18, Hebrews 13:14 WEB) . Help them to be successfully generous now for your Kingdom now and also to invest wisely for the future. Lord, if these beliefs concerning their finances should not be held or are impeding your plans and goals for them then show them and correct them as Christians are instructed to pay their taxes (Mark 12:17 and Romans 13:7 WEB) even though the tax code may allow them tax write offs.
It would also be profitable to share with them the requirements and warnings about wealth in 1 Timothy 6:17-19 WEB.
A charge to people who are rich in this present world: not to be high-minded,
nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, Jesus wants people to trust in him and not in material things and to be willingly generous and sharing in investing in eternity (Matthew 6:19-21 WEB), but in the living God, who gives 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, to be ready to communicate freely to others,
May the Lord bless BlessedChristian and guide them in all their pursuits, keeping Jesus at the forefront. We pray for their full-time job, that they would find peace and be a light to their coworkers. We bed for their success (Joshua 1:8 WEB) but also trusting that all things work together for good, for those who are the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28 WEB).
In Jesus' name, we all pray . Amen
BlessedChristian, continue to keep Jesus at the center of your life and plans. He has called us Christians to be salt and light in the world , and has equipped Christians to be salt and light in the world (Matthew 5:13-16 WEB). As you pursue these ventures, always remember that your ultimate purpose is to glorify God and lead others to Him.
