Psalms 23 and The Lord’s Prayer for Business Owners

Psalms 23 and The Lord’s Prayer for Business Owners

May 21, 20245 min read

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." - Psalm 23:4, KJV

Challenges Loom Large:

In the journey of entrepreneurship, where challenges loom large and the path often seems shrouded in darkness, let us find solace and strength in the timeless words of Psalm 23 and The Lord’s Prayer. These sacred texts, rich in wisdom and comfort, serve as beacons of hope for those walking through the valleys of uncertainty and striving towards the realization of their dreams.

Doom Scrolling on Phone

Is your mindset in the Valley of the Shadow of Death? With all of the "doom scrolling" it's easy for all of us to fall to our own fears. Some of us even fear that our businesses will not make it through the shadow of the election in 2024.

Here are 4 reasons why I am asking you to join me in praying Psalm 23 & The Lord's Prayer! 🙏🏽🤲🏽

1. Moments of Doubt and Fear Are Inevitable

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me" (Psalm 23:4, KJV). In the entrepreneurial journey, moments of doubt and fear are inevitable. Yet, this verse reminds us that we are not alone. The presence of the Divine Shepherd is a constant source of comfort and guidance, even in the most daunting challenges. The "valley of the shadow of death" can symbolize our deepest fears and greatest challenges. It is in these moments that we must remember the assurance of divine companionship and support, empowering us to face our fears with courage.

2. Blueprint for Trust and Reliance on Divine Provisions

Furthermore, The Lord’s Prayer offers a profound blueprint for trust and reliance on divine provision. "Give us this day our daily bread" (Matthew 6:11, KJV) is a humble petition that teaches us the importance of focusing on present needs and trusting in the provision for today, without being overwhelmed by the worries of tomorrow. This prayer encourages us to seek sustenance and guidance, day by day, acknowledging our dependence on a higher power for the resources and wisdom we need to navigate the entrepreneurial path.

3. Align Your Ambitions and Efforts with a Greater Purpose

Lastly, "Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10, KJV) reminds us to align our ambitions and efforts with a greater purpose. It is a call to surrender our plans, knowing that the ultimate outcome rests in hands far wiser than our own. This surrender is not a sign of weakness, but a declaration of faith, believing that our steps are guided towards a greater good, beyond our immediate understanding.

4. You Don't Have To Do This Alone

As entrepreneurs, let these passages inspire resilience, trust, and a deeper sense of purpose in your journey. May you find strength in the assurance that you are never alone, courage in the face of uncertainty, and peace in the unfolding of a plan greater than any you could devise on your own. In every challenge, may you see an opportunity for growth and a reminder of the steadfast love and provision that surrounds you.
