Let us bring this matter to the Lord in prayer, seeking His divine intervention and guidance as you navigate the challenges posed by the new tariffs.
Let us remember the words of the Apostle Paul in Philippians 4:6-7 WEB: "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."
We pray together:
Father, thank You for Your faithfulness and goodness.
Thank You that You are a God who cares about every detail of our lives.
We lift up Ted and his business to You, Lord. As the new tariffs take effect, we ask for Your divine intervention. Guide Ted with Your wisdom and discernment as he navigates these changes.
Lord, we pray that You would open up new opportunities for the business to thrive despite the challenges. Give Ted creative solutions and resilience in the face of adversity. Help him to continue serving You through his work, and let his light shine before others, that they may see his good deeds and glorify You, our Father in heaven Matthew 5:16 WEB.
We also pray for Ted's faith to be strengthened during this time. Help him to trust in You more deeply, knowing that You are his provider and sustainer.
Lord, we ask that Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, would guard Ted's heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Remove any anxiety or fear, and replace it with Your perfect peace.
Finally, we pray for a blessing and a return of a hundred times what was invested for Ted and his family.
We ask all these things in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ Mark 10:29-30 WEB. Amen.
Ted, we encourage you to continue seeking God's will for your business.
