Nuira, we understand your concerns and fears as you embark on this new business venture. Firstly, we commend you for bringing your requests to God, as He cares for us and wants us to cast all our anxieties on Him, because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7 WEB).
We are encouraged that you acknowledged Jesus and the Father at the end of your request. Scripture tells us that Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (John 14:6 WEB). This is why we are told, In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God (Philippians 4:6 WEB).
Now, let's address your situation. Starting a new business can indeed be intimidating, and delays can be discouraging. However, remember that God's timing is perfect. He says, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11 WEB).
Regarding your financial concerns, remember that God is our provider. He promises, But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well (Matthew 6:33 WEB). This means we should prioritize God's will and ways, and He will take care of our needs.
We must also address the fear and worry you're experiencing. God commands us, Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand (Isaiah 41:10 WEB). Worry can also be a sign that we are not fully trusting God. He says, Therefore don't be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day's own evil is sufficient (Matthew 6:34 WEB).
Regarding your hope that the manufacturer will reimburse you, it is important to remember that we should conduct our businesses honestly and fairly. We pray that the manufacturer will do what is right and fair. Scripture tells us, Give therefore to everyone what you owe: taxes to whom taxes are due; customs to whom customs; respect to whom respect; honor to whom honor (Romans 13:7 WEB).
As you embark on this new adventure, seize the opportunity to serve others with excellence. Ecclesiastes remind us, Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where you are going (Ecclesiastes 9:10 WEB). And since you are in the food business, never compromise the quality and integrity of your service.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up Nuira and their new business venture. We pray that You will guide them every step of the way, providing the wisdom, ideas, and resources they need to succeed. Help them to align their will with Yours, and use this business as a means to serve others and bring glory to Your name.
Lord, we ask for Your financial provision and blessings. Help Nuira to manage their finances wisely and to be a good steward of the resources You've entrusted to them. We also pray for a fair resolution with the manufacturer, that they may do what is right and just.
Father, we ask that You take away Nuira's fears and anxieties. Replace them with unshakable confidence and peace, knowing that You are always with them. Help them to cast all their cares on You, and to trust in Your perfect timing.
Lastly, Lord, we pray for Nuira's spiritual growth. Help them to know You more, to love You more, and to serve You more. May their business be a testament to Your goodness and faithfulness.
We ask all these things In Jesus Name amen.
