I instantly cried when Ronda asked me to pray over business leaders for the National Day of Prayer. Easy. I’m already there. Bridging kingdom vision + business to create an impact in our city is the work that excites me the most.
Truly it was the highest honor to get to pray over Billings business leaders.
I know it’s a little funny to post a prayer, but this is real for me. Here are my prayer points over Business in our community.
__________________________
Thank you for these ones that You have strategically positioned for influence and impact. The visionaries, the pioneers, the pillars, the change-makers, the risk-takers, the problem-solvers, the innovators.
Lord, I pray the secular would become sacred. That these ones that are so motivated towards action would build Your Kingdom.
I pray they would be full of the Holy Spirit. That You would open doors and they would carry your Presence with them everywhere they go.
I pray they would walk in righteousness and truth. That they would walk in the authority of your Name and your Word.
That they would be favored. And release your favor on the people and places they are anointed to lead.
Gatekeepers
That they would be gatekeepers in our city. That they would open up gates and usher in the Your Kingdom and Presence. I speak Psalm 24 as a charge over our business leader. “Open up ye gates, that the king of Glory may come in. Open up ye, gates that the king of glory may come in.”
Vision
Vision from You. That they would carry Your heart. That they would see what You see and have the grace to bring it to fruition.
Influence
As they grow in influence and have a platform to speak that Your voice would be in their words. That they would be saying what you’re saying. As people follow them, they would be following You.
Stewardship
That they would be wise stewards. I pray specifically that they would align resources with what You’re doing.
Discernment + Courage
Walk in step with you. I pray specifically for discernment to recognize opportunities and partnerships that are a snare and for the boldness and courage to decline anything that’s not aligned with you. No agreement with darkness.
Let Your kingdom come and Your will be done.
