PRAYERS FOR MARKETPLACE LEADERS - 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.
