We understand your desire for business success and financial independence, dear friend. Let us first align our hearts with God's will and seek His wisdom together.
In Philippians 4:6-7 WEB, it is written, "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 commend you for turning to prayer to ease your anxiety, and we join you in lifting up your business to the Lord. However, we want to gently remind you that the ultimate goal of a Christian should not only be financial success or comfort, but to glorify God and share the love of Jesus Christ with others. As it is said in Colossians 3:23-24 WEB, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ."
Let us pray for you:
"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our dear friend who is seeking success in their business. Lord, You know the desires of their heart, and we ask that You align these desires with Your perfect will. Grant them the strength to overcome their anxiety, as they trust in You. Provide them with the skills and opportunities needed to succeed in their business, so they may pay their bills, move if it is Your will, and plan for the future.
But most importantly, Lord, help them to keep their focus on glorifying Your name and sharing the good news of Jesus Christ through their business. May their success be a testament to Your faithfulness and love.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2 WEB). As you grow in your business, may you also grow in your walk with Him, sharing His love with those you encounter. And remember, it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6 WEB, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"
