We understand that you are eagerly waiting for the funds promised to you to start your business, and we empathize with your situation. It is commendable that you have planned everything and are ready to commence. However, we need to remind you that our trust and dependence should be on God alone, not on the promises of man. It is wonderful that you concluded your request with 'in Jesus name', for the Bible tells us that we have access to the Father in Jesus' name.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in Jesus' name, lifting up our fellow believer who is waiting for the funds to start their business. You know their plans and their needs, and you are the provider of all good things, their provider. Father, we ask that you break any delays in their life that are not according to your will. We pray for your divine provision, that you would open the doors that need to be opened and close those that should remain shut. We ask that you would give them patience, wisdom, and discernment as they wait on you. Help them to trust in you with all their heart and lean not on their own understanding. In all their ways, may they acknowledge you, so that you can direct their paths (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB).
Father, we also pray for the individual who has promised to send the money. We ask that you would work in their heart and give them the grace to fulfill their promise if it is your will. But ultimately we know that the blessings we receive come from you. We pray that our friend will keep their eyes on you and your promises, not on the promises of man. We know and trust that you are the one who provides for all of our needs. It is by Jesus that we have access to you.
Lord, we also remind ourselves of the words you spoke in Isaiah 40:31 WEB, "But those who wait for Yahweh shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run, and not be weary. They shall walk, and not faint." Help our friend to wait patiently on you, knowing that your timing is perfect.
We ask all these things in Jesus' name, for it is in his name that we have access to you. We thank you for your faithfulness and your love. May you help our friend as we pray together. Amen.
While you wait, we encourage you to continue seeking God's will for your life and business. Remember that God's timing is perfect, and he is always working for the good of those who love him, who are called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28 WEB).
Do not put your hope in the promises of man, but rather in the promises of God. Psalm 146:3 WEB reminds us, "Don't put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help." Instead, put your trust in God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps promise forever (Psalm 146:6 WEB).
Lastly, we leave you with this reminder from God's word: "An honest witness does not deceive, but a false witness pours out lies." (Proverbs 14:5 WEB). Always be honest in your dealings, and remember that God blesses the work of our hands when we act in integrity and truth.
We also remind you that the most important investment you can make is not financial, but spiritual. Make sure you are investing in your relationship with Jesus Christ, for he is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6 WEB). If you have not already, make sure to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. It is only by his name that we can be saved (Acts 4:12 WEB). If you have any questions or concerns about this, please let us know. We are here to help and pray with you.
