Faith-Driven Growth:Build with Purpose, Grow with Grace
Share
This daily prayer is inspired by the heart of Jabez ( 1 Chronicles 4:10 )—a man who dared to ask God for more, not for selfish gain, but to live out his purpose more fully. As an entrepreneur, I pray this to invite God into my business, decisions, habits, and vision. I ask not just for expansion, but for the strength, discipline, and character to steward it well.
1. “Oh, that You would bless me indeed…”
Father in Heaven,
I come to You not as someone entitled to success,
But as Your servant longing to be a faithful steward.
Bless me indeed—not just with opportunity,
But with Your presence, Your wisdom, and Your favor.
May my success never exceed my character.
Let holiness be my greatest pursuit.
Make me rich in integrity, anchored in truth,
And wholly dependent on You for every next step.
2. “…and enlarge my territory…”
Lord, enlarge the influence and impact of the work You’ve entrusted to me.
Expand my reach, my resources, my leadership—and most of all, my responsibility.
But as You do, enlarge also my work ethic, discipline, and stewardship,
So I may carry what You place in my hands with excellence and humility.
Grant me a greater threshold for pain—
For with greater territory often comes greater pressure.
Help me endure the hidden struggles with courage and grace.
Order my sleep, renew my thought cycles,
And align my spending habits with divine purpose.
Let me walk in balance—working diligently, resting righteously, and spending wisely.
May I never chase growth at the cost of my soul.
Instead, teach me to thrive from a place of peace.
3. “…that Your hand would be with me…”
Be with me, Lord, in every meeting, decision, and conversation.
Let Your hand guide my plans,
Your Spirit prompt my words,
And Your peace govern my heart.
Bring the right people into my life—
Partners with shared values, clients with purpose, and mentors with wisdom.
Help me lead with vision and serve with compassion.
Let my business become a tool for transformation—not just transaction.
4. “…and that You would keep me from evil…”
Keep me far from pride, greed, and compromise.
Protect my mind from fear and comparison,
And my heart from envy or offense.
Guard me against shortcuts that may cost me my integrity.
Let no success become a snare,
And no failure become a stronghold.
Deliver me from the lies that say “I am what I do” or “I am what I own.”
I am Yours—and that is enough.
Final Blessing
Use my life and business to build more than profit—
Let it build people, purpose, and praise for You.
May I live each day in the rhythm of Your grace,
Growing, giving, and glorifying You in all things.
In Jesus’ mighty name,
Amen.
May this prayer shape not just what I build, but who I become in the process. And may every opportunity, challenge, and victory reflect the grace and glory of God.
