A Prayer of Peace and Protection for Business Professionals
Scripture Reading
Psalm 29, Daniel 3:22-27
Praise and Worship
Wonderful Father, we thank You for Your peace and protection. Thank You for Your provision that enables business professionals to lead companies effectively, employ people, and offer quality products and services to their communities. We thank You, Lord, for having plans for good, not disaster, for them, to give them a future and a hope. Thank You for blessing them with Your perfect peace, as they keep their thoughts fixed on You. They will come before You, clapping their hands and shouting with joy unto You. Lord Most High, You are awesome! You subdue nations before business professionals and put their enemies under their feet! Father, we thank You for choosing this promised land for an inheritance for them and their families. They will sing praises to You, Lord, and declare that You are the King over all of the earth!
Praying God’s Will
Almighty Father, You are the light and salvation in the lives of business professionals, so they will not be afraid. You are their fortress, protecting them from danger so they will not tremble. We declare that they will live peacefully and safely in their workplaces and homes and that their homes will be places of rest. We decree that business professionals are vibrant and prosperous through the use of their gifts and talents. They will depart from evil and do good; they will search for peace and work to maintain it. Lord, we expect that You will always put a wall of protection around them, their homes, and their properties, and that You will allow them to prosper in everything they do. In the authority given to them by Jesus Christ, business professionals will cancel the assignments of the spirits of fear, intimidation, theft, vandalism, murder, destruction, discord, and perversion from their homes and workplaces.
Praying the Request
Righteous Father, remind business professionals that the greatest resource of peace and protection is the Lord God Almighty. Incline their hearts to seek Him first and search His Word for wisdom, comfort, refuge, and direction. Give them the strength and courage to stand when operations, profits, customers, workplace safety requirements, employees, or family members do not meet their expectations. Keep them from all temptations, including the urge to love money more than You, mistreat their co-workers, cut corners, or dishonor their families. Holy Spirit, impress upon business professionals the importance of finding the right balance between their work and personal lives. Provide them with opportunities to relax and have fun in safe, loving environments.
Praying for Forgiveness
Holy Spirit, forgive business professionals for all acts of sinfulness. Forgive those who choose not to trust in You for all things in all ways. Forgive business professionals who say they are Christians but do not share Your Gospel nor act in a way that would inspire others to ask them what mighty God they serve. Holy Spirit, remind business professionals of those they need to forgive and help them to be quick to forgive. As for me, Holy Spirit, bring to my remembrance those I need to forgive.
Praying for Protection
Holy Spirit, help business professionals not to yield to temptation but deliver them from the evil one.
Praise and Worship
Eternal Lord, You are the blessed and Sovereign One; the King of kings, and the Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man can see. Yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever and ever. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
