Prayer for Managing Finances – Mine and My Company

Heavenly Father,

Lord you are the light of the world, your holiness radiates through your people as we carry forward your message of freedom.

Lord today I am thinking about the finances in my business and my life. I confess I spend a lot of time thinking about finances but these are crazy times!

Lord anchor me in the truth that you are my provider, that you are the provider for the company and everything including my finances.

Sometimes I tilt into scarcity thinking, that I need more, that I have to protect everything, because there will be no more coming.

More Savings, More Profits. Safety mean – HIDING!

I even find myself considering the manipulation of expenses and moving against others. These ideas I know are not right. Lord remove these temptations from me. I rebuke those thoughts in the name of Jesus.

You know Lord what I need. You know me. Keep me anchored. Keep me dependent on You. You are the source of all. Not my allusion of control. I do not have control. I do not want control. I want You to take control. You have control. Release me from my stinkin’ thinkin’. Help me to rest in You.

You have me, You have my company, You have my family, You have my finances.

Help me to step into Your Yoke that makes everything easy, even finances.

You are the most gracious and loving Jesus.

Thanks for always providing a better way.

In the name of Jesus, I pray.

Prayers for Marketplace Leaders - Strength and Courage

Strength and Courage

Father God I praise Your name this day as I face challenges. Help me to anchor myself in Your presence. You are WITH me, beside me, over me and within me. You are everywhere and stand as holy, righteous and my defender and encourager. Giving me strength and courage through Your Holy Spirit.

You love me and guide me through the valley as I work through the challenges of this day. There are people challenges that seem overwhelming – how do I find people - how do I lead those that I give responsibility and opportunity.

I am tired. I need replenishment. I need You. Come Jesus Come.

Help me to “Be Still and know that you are God!”

Lord, you are Holy above all others, and You are the strength that I need.

The strength to “Be strong and courageous.”

I am not asking, Lord, that you take this trial away. Instead, I simply ask that Your will be done in my life. Whatever that means, that is what I want.

You say: “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am Your God, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10

I know that I can come to you, Jesus, and that you will hear my prayer. I know that it is not your intent to bring me to this point just to leave me in the wilderness alone. Often, I feel like business is the wilderness. It feels dangerous and exciting. Lord, give me the strength that I need to face today. Turn the feelings of danger into adventure. You are WITH me. I don’t have to worry about today or tomorrow.

Give me the strength and courage that I need today.

Thank you for hearing my prayer.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
