Hope for small business owners
There is a way and it looks like Jesus.
Greetings Prosperous Souls,
We all know running a business is hard. Studies show that only 50% of small businesses survive their fifth year. That number falls to 30% by the tenth year.
Knowing this, how do business owners find the strength to go on?
It all comes down to faith.
When times get tough, our connection with God can transform obstacles into breakthroughs.
How do I know this? Because it’s all throughout Scripture. What did Jesus tell His disciples time and again in the New Testament? “Don’t be afraid.” — Mark 5:36
Even the angels reminded panicked humans in times of uncertainty: “Don’t fear.” — Daniel 10:12
What was the outcome of these proclamations? Breakthrough.
Fear leads to death and misery. Trusting in God leads to hope, joy, and new life.
If you’re a business owner, I want to pray for you. Let’s come together and ask God for breakthrough:
Father, I come before You now and ask You to bless the work of our hands. Give us the grace to serve Your vision for our businesses. Where there is lack, bring abundance. Where there is stress, bring peace. Align our thinking with Your perfect wisdom. Holy Spirit, teach us how to prosper so we can build a legacy that bears fruit in our organizations and imparts lasting hope to our children’s children.
God bless your Prosperous Soul,
