Proverbs 22:29 (KJV)Please pray with me:
Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
Heavenly Father,
You are the Creator of the earth and all that is here. We praise You for You are worthy to be praised. Only through You can we truly be all that You intended us to be. Thank You!
The United States is at a crossroads. Truly, perhaps we are past it. Yet, it cannot be too late to turn to You.
Businesses and business practices have changed. There was a time when businesses closed on Sunday to honor You. It was part of being "One Nation Under God." It was the law of the land. It has changed. Yes some businesses still close on Sunday and they do it to honor You. Please bless these businesses and pour out Your financial security on them.
Yes, it used to be the law that businesses would close. You look at the heart of a person.
1 Samuel 16:7 (KJV)Look into the heart of business owners across this nation and pour into us a spirit of creativity. We need Your creativity. We need Your direction, Your words, Your strength.
7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.
Many businesses are being targeted by focus groups that defy You, oppose You and hate all that You have put in place for our protection! Father, You see that business people are asked to celebrate that which You have forbidden. Truly, we are in the midst of voracious wolves. They hate You. They are organized and wield weapons that threaten our livelihoods. They desire our destruction.
We need Your words, Your heart, Your wisdom. You beckon us to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
Matthew 10:16 (KJV)How can we do this? Only by Your hand. Only through Your Holy Spirit. Come to us. Fill us with effective ways to approach these people. Fill us with forgiveness when we are targeted. Make us advocates for them before Your throne of grace. Help us to sacrifice all that we are to You—in exchange for these lost souls...as Jesus did for us!
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
Help us to organize. Help us to organize our thoughts and align our hearts and our will with Yours. Create an army of prayer warriors to come before Your throne of grace on behalf of those who persecute us. Grant us prayers that move Your heart for them.
Father, we need creativity in our companies to flourish. In spite of the "business climate," help us to flourish financially. Pour out creative ways for us to do this. Show us how to manage our businesses to reflect Your creativity. Grant us ideas! WOW!
YOU see the picture from above. YOU are not constrained by time so YOU see the future! Hallelujah! From Your comprehensive knowledge of our immediate future, give us ideas and open our minds to find innovation in our businesses! Innovations in our internal processes, our products, our marketing, and our customer service! Show us how to craft our businesses to serve those who come for services! Yes, make us true servants of the Most High God! Hallelujah!
Teach us to love others through our businesses. This would include everyone who walks through the door, and everyone who works within. Teach business owners to love our employees and serve them. Teach us to love our vendors, our consultants, our colleagues, and our competition. Teach us to love our customers in inordinate ways that is astonishing!
Help us to be Your presence in their lives. And Father, may we flourish because we live by Your Word:
Matthew 6:33 (KJV)Help us, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
In Jesus’ Name.
