Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today with hearts full of trust and hope, lifting up our brother Ray and the business that he and his family are working so hard to sustain. Father, You are our Provider and Sustainer, and Your Word assures us that You care deeply for Your children. As it says in Philippians 4:19, "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." We hold fast to this promise, Lord, and ask that You would open the windows of heaven and pour out Your blessings upon Ray's business.
Lord, we know that You are able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us (Ephesians 3:20). We ask that You would bring an increase in customers and opportunities for Ray's business, so that every bill can be paid and every need met. Give Ray and his family the strength and endurance to continue their hard work, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Father, we also pray for wisdom and discernment for Ray as he navigates these challenging times. As it is written in James 1:5, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given to him." Grant Ray the insight and guidance needed to make wise decisions that will benefit his business and glorify Your name.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer and for Your faithfulness. We trust that You are working all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28). May Ray and his family experience Your abundant provision and continue to be a testament to Your goodness and grace.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
