May the Businesses in Our City Give Glory to Your Name

COMMUNITY: Businesses

Verse of the Day: Give me an eagerness for your laws rather than a love for money! - Proverbs 119:36 (NLT)

Heavenly Father, We give thanks to you Lord; you are worthy of our prayers and our praise! In all things we recognize your goodness, love and gift of grace. As we look upon the neighborhoods in this city, today we lift up all the businesses that surround us. We recognize for many that the love of money is a powerful trap; forgive us where we fall within it. 

For those who own or work in businesses, in stores or offices or homes, we pray blessing upon them and ask you to help them work in a way that brings glory to your name. Bless them with an eye for honesty, humility and justice. Show us the part we play in this, Lord, and help us be conscious of our habits and desires. As we work and partake in businesses, might we do so in ways that honors and furthers your kingdom. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
