Grant Wisdom for
My Business Idea
O God of my life, Solomon asked for wisdom and you gave it to him. The book of James claims if we want wisdom, all we have to do is ask and you'll give it to us, too. Okay, Lord, I'm asking. I need it. Please give me wisdom as I consider
an idea for starting up a new business. I don't want to run ahead of you, Lord, and I can't do it without you. Please show me if you don't want me to do
this. Warm me of any possible pitfalls I haven't noticed. If you aren't in it with me, it will fail.
If you do approve, though, let me approach it with energy and confidence. You're the Creator of the universe. Grant me wisdom to create this business. You won the cattle on a thousand hills; provide
what I need to give my idea a solid start. Set the rules for my
idea and hold me to your standards in starting out. I determined before
You not to compromise when times get tough.
You see into the hearts and minds of people. Point out solid, honest
people to me, and don't ever let me get away with treating anyone unfairly in
developing my idea. Teach me how to embrace people as family, seeing them with
Your eyes of compassion, loving them with Your love.
Shape this idea for a business into a ministry, an outreach that will somehow lead
people to You. I thank You for Your generous blessings.
In Jesus' name,
Amen
"If any of you lacks wisdom,
he should ask of God,
who gives generously to all without finding fault,
and it will be given to him."
James 1:5
