prayer for business success

The famous prayer by Jabez recorded in 1 Chronicles 4:10:-

prayer of Jabez for success


All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.

Lawrence of Arabia, Thomas Edward Lawrence (1885-1932), writer and British army officer



Prayer for business growth



Father, you are the foundation stone on which I build this business.
You are my God, the wonderful creator of everything that I am and all that I see.
I ask for a blessing on the work of my hands.
May the reign of your kingdom be extended in this company.
I desire for you to be involved in every area of it.
Blow upon this venture and fill it with your mighty presence.
Come direct, shape, mould and take it so that it can be excellent for you.
May it be a source of great blessing and goodness to those whom it serves.

I ask this in the name of my Lord, Jesus Christ.

Amen.
