Prayer Topic #4:
A Declaration of Faith for Business Leaders in Our Communities
Scripture Reading:
Reflections of the Heart:
Faith is defined as belief that is not based upon proof. As Christians, we should have immovable faith in God and His Word. Decide today that absolutely nothing will shake your faith in the promises of our Heavenly Father!
Scriptural Prayer:
Eternal Father, we thank You for being in relationship with us. Thank You for drawing us into Your holy family through the meritorious works of Jesus Christ. Thank You for creating us to be kings of The King and lords of The Lord. Thank You for sending us the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us on this faith walk. Thank You for the businesses, economics and industries in our communities. Father, Your way is perfect. All of Your promises prove true. You are a shield to those who look to You for protection. There is no God except You Lord; You are a solid rock. Lord, we bless You, the One who guides us. We know that You are always with us.
Righteous Father, some of the businesses, economics and industries are managed by righteous people who live by faith. We declare that they will trust in You with all of their hearts and not depend on their own understanding. They will seek Your will in all that they do and, in every situation, they will trust that You will show them which path to take as it relates to the businesses, economics and industries in our communities. They will strip off every weight that slows them down, especially the sin that so easily trips them up. These righteous men and women will run with endurance the race that You have set before them; keeping their eyes on Jesus, the Champion, who initiates and perfects their faith. They will seek Your Kingdom above all else, and live righteously, and trust that You will give them everything that they need. Father God, they will stand on Your Word and put all of their faith and confidence in You because they know that You are not a man that You should lie, nor the son of man that You should repent. As Kingdom citizens and righteous people of businesses, economics and industries, they will trust You with their finances, families, businesses, relationships and every other area of their lives. Their works will reflect the faith that they have in You, our Father.
Make a list of small businesses in your community and begin to support them.
Holy Spirit, please help each righteous man and woman of businesses, economics and industries in our communities to relinquish control to You to lead their lives. Help each of them to transform the way they think by meditating on the Word, so that they will embrace and walk in their Kingdom authority and rights. Help these righteous men and women to model Kingdom faith to persons they interact with each day. Holy Spirit, please show them all those areas in their lives where their faith is faltering and reveal the tools that they need to increase their faith in those areas. Lord, there are some who have had so many disappointments in life that they have a hard time walking by faith. Please help them to get the help they need to process those disappointments and heal those internal wounds, so that they can begin to walk in their Kingdom authority.
Compassionate Father, please forgive the righteous men and women of businesses, economics and industries throughout the world for not having complete faith in You at all times. Forgive them for having more faith in themselves, their jobs, their finances, their gifts and talents and other people than they do in You. Forgive them for harboring dead faith. Lord, forgive me for (list any sins that you have committed). Holy Spirit, remind us all of those we need to forgive and help us to be quick to forgive. As for me, Holy Spirit, bring to my remembrance those I need to forgive. (Take a moment and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal names or faces of people that you may need to forgive. As He reveals them, say, “I forgive name of person(s).” Now, trust the Lord to heal any wounds in your soul caused by unforgiveness.)
Holy Spirit, please help the men and women of businesses, economics and industries not yield to temptation but deliver them from the evil one.
Triumphant Lord, all glory belongs to You, who alone are God. All glory, majesty, power and authority are Yours before all time and in the present and beyond all time! In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
