Running a business entails a lot, from sourcing from suppliers, paying workers, guaranteeing client satisfaction, paying bills, and so much more. As Christians, we need the Lord’s help for our businesses to be successful because it is not easy.
We need God to bless our businesses. Though hard work and smart strategies can sustain a business, they are only effective for so long. Only God can make your business last.
Below are seven prayers for business success to help you pray for yours. Let us pray.
1) Short Prayer for Success in Business
“Lord God,
I come before you today to present my business. I am grateful for this far You have enabled me to run my business.
However, Lord, I recognize that only You can bless and make my business last amid storms and the difficulties of a harsh economy. Please make my business successful. And give me the wisdom to run it effectively.
In Jesus’ name, I pray,

Amen.”
Owning a business requires a lot of capital, risks, time and sacrifices. It is not for the light-hearted. When you invest so much into your business, seeing its success must be at the top of your list.
While some people turn to forces of darkness for success in their businesses, you should turn your hope to the Lord. The Word of the Lord in Deuteronomy 8:18, commands us to remember God because He is the one who gives us the knowledge to make wealth.
We are also warned in verse 19 of the same chapter that if we forget the ways of the Lord and pursue other gods, He will destroy us. Therefore it is not a suggestion but an order to commit our businesses to God for success.

2) Catholic Prayer for a Successful Business
“Most Holy Virgin Mary,
Please pray for me that my business might be successful. I make a lot of effort to see my business run well, but I know all my hard work is in vain without the Lord’s help.
I pray that you may bless the work of my hands, blessed Mother Mary, and intercede with the Lord on my behalf so that my business will not fail but succeed in Jesus’ name.
Thank you for hearing my prayer,

Amen.”
It is crucial to God for wisdom to run your business. Entrepreneurs need a lot of wisdom to predict the possible outcome of their decisions. That is why business is not for the faint. However, wisdom doesn’t just come unless you ask God for it.
The book of James 1:5 tells us that those who lack wisdom should ask our Father, who gives without measure to all without discrimination.
We will always require God’s wisdom for our businesses to be successful. Therefore it is always best to ask.
3) Strong Prayer for Business Growth
“My Redeemer,
I come before You with a special request for the growth of my business. I started this business because it is my passion, and I have big dreams for it.
Heavenly Father, please sustain my business and help it to grow tremendously. Let all systems and strategies be beneficial to increase my profit.
I ask in the name of the Father,

Amen.”
While starting a business can be easy, seeing its growth and success can be challenging. Don’t just assume that because you are a child of God, He will automatically grant Your business growth. You have to ask for what you need.
In His ministry here on earth, Jesus would often ask the needy what they wanted Him to do for them.
For instance, in Luke 18:35-43, a blind man heard that Jesus was passing through Jericho, and he cried out for the Lord to have mercy on him. Jesus then asked the man, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man replied, “Lord, I want to see.”
This is a lesson to you and all believers with businesses that you should ask God for exactly what you desire for your business, and He will grant your wish.

4) Prayer for Small Businesses
“Loving Father,
I pray for my small business, asking for Your favour that it may prosper and succeed. My business might be small right now, but I have big dreams and plans that it will expand to a large corporation.
All things are possible with You, my Father. You stated in Your Word in Matthew 13:31-32 a mustard seed, though the smallest of all seeds, can grow to the largest tree that offers shelter to the birds.
I say with faith that my business, however small it is right now, will grow to become a giant enterprise in Jesus’ mighty name.
Amen.”

All businesses start from somewhere. Even Jeff Bezos, the founder of the world’s largest online bookstore Amazon began his journey in his garage in 1994. He definitely had big dreams that his small business at the time, would grow to be a billion-dollar enterprise.
There is hope for your small business as well. With the right strategies, a concrete long-term plan and lots of prayers, your business will prosper.
Simply commit your small milestones to the Lord. Before embarking on any business decision, however small, commit your thoughts to God and let Him lead you to prosperity.
Additionally, don’t forget to celebrate your small victories. As you aspire to grow into a giant business one day, it’s always good to recognize even the tiniest achievement. This gives you and your employees the motivation to work harder with greater ambition.
I believe you will love the St. Joseph prayers for employment.
5) Powerful Prayer for Business Breakthrough
“Heavenly Father,
I am grateful for giving me the power and ability to make wealth, hence forming my business. I surrender this business to You, that You may oversee its breakthrough.
The last thing I want is for my business to crumble but to overcome every obstacle and trap the evil one may have laid out to guarantee my downfall.
Please answer my prayer and grant my request for a business breakthrough in Jesus’ name,

Amen.”
You might wonder why numerous promising businesses close down, perhaps due to poor planning, embezzlement of resources, harsh economic times or simply lack of surrendering to the Lord.
The Scripture says in Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed because of lack of knowledge, because they have rejected knowledge.”
Who is the giver of knowledge? Isn’t it God? So ask Him for knowledge on how to run your business for a breakthrough. This invites God’s blessings and helps your business overcome any hurdles.
It is also your role as a responsible entrepreneur to keep up to date with the trends and upcoming strategies for improving your business.
We live in a dynamic world, and what was applicable a decade ago may not work now. It’s always wise to update your business systems to avoid going out of business.
6) Strong Prayer for Business Owners
“Dear Lord,
I acknowledge that this far my business has come is not only due to my own effort or hard work but also because of Your grace. Owning a business isn’t easy, but Your favor has sustained me.
Help me to follow Your will in doing business, oh God. Equip me with the essential skills to continue running my business successfully. Please continue to prosper my business and grant great plans for a future and hope.
In Jesus’ name, I pray,
Original StAgnes.net prayer. Copying prohibited, except with source.
Amen.”
As a business owner, you already know that running a business comes with its unique share of uncertainties and challenges. Prayer can offer a source of guidance, solace and strength amid the daunting entrepreneurial journey.
This prayer for business owners surpasses seeking financial breakthroughs. It involves seeking God’s wisdom in decision making, nurturing creativity and innovation, ethical practices, maintaining work-life balance, and fostering the right relationships.
Such a prayer allows you to connect with a higher power, seek wisdom and find comfort in knowing that you are not alone in the entrepreneurial journey.
7) Prayer for My Business to Prosper
“Divine Father,
I put my business’ success entirely in Your caring hands. Please help me run it effectively and with the wisdom to identify and adapt to the unavoidable changes in business. I ask for knowledge to tackle the things I don’t know and help me to address my clients and employees with unconditional love like yours.
Help me to shine your radiant light on everyone I interact with in the business world. And let me stand firm in my faith and Christian values in all circumstances and situations.
Amen.”
