Morning Prayer for a Business Meeting

Meetings are crucial for businesses, whether big or small. There are many reasons businesses hold meetings. It may be that they are keeping track of the progress of a particular project, checking if they have achieved their goals and objectives, reviewing if their course of action is indeed practical, and many more. In other words, business meetings are there so owners or executives can watch over and keep the business in check. That is also why businesses also have daily or regular morning meetings to huddle together or discuss what they need to consider for the upcoming day, week, and even month.

Just as we pray for essential matters or occasions like taking an exam, traveling to a new country, etc., we also pray for morning business meetings because, as mentioned above, it is an essential task for a business. Here is an example of the morning prayer for a business meeting that you can pray:

Father in heaven, I thank You for this beautiful morning for our business meeting. I pray for Your grace that we will have a productive business meeting. Remind us, Father, that everything we do ought to be glorifying You. We commit every concern, plan, and endeavor we will discuss in the business meeting to You, LORD. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

How do you pray before a business meeting?

When we pray for a morning business meeting, as the meeting begins is not the only time we can pray. Let’s say the morning business meeting is at 9 AM. You can say a morning prayer for your upcoming business meeting any time before that. You can pray that everyone shall be on time, that you will have a productive meeting, etc.

Here is an example of the morning prayer for a business meeting that you can pray before the meeting even starts:

Heavenly Father, thank You for this beautiful morning and giving us another day to live. I pray for our upcoming business meeting this morning that we shall have a productive and fruitful meeting and can decide on what specific venture we should get into. I pray that the investors shall also agree with our direction. I pray that there shall be no power interruptions during the meeting, that no one shall be late, and that You will also give the presenter the grace to make the presentation excellently. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

You have observed in the sample prayer given above that you might pray not only regarding the matters of the business meeting but also the meeting itself, such as that there will be no power interruptions, no one will be late, or the presenter will do an excellent job presenting. There are no strict rules regarding what you pray for during and before a morning business meeting. Always remember that, at the end of the day, it is a conversation with God that you are having.

How do you pray a short prayer in a meeting?

Praying a morning prayer for a business meeting does not have to be very long. A short prayer that is prayed from the heart out of the desire to commune with God and depend on Him is better than a long prayer that is prayed only for its own sake. In the end, prayer is us depending on God. That is why we do everything not by our might but by the Spirit. The matters discussed in a morning business meeting vary from one meeting to another. The critical thing here is to pray what your concerns are to God regarding your morning business meeting. Of course, we pray for a productive meeting, but we can also pray for the specific matters of our morning business meetings.

Here is an example of the morning prayer for a business meeting that you can pray for the matters or concerns that you will tackle in the meeting:

Father in heaven, thank You because all wisdom comes from You alone. I pray that You will give us the wisdom and understanding that we need so that we may be able to decide which specific contractor we are going to award the job to and which will benefit not only us but also the project itself. I pray that my colleagues will award the contract not to the most likable contractor but to the most practical and excellent one. May we have a fruitful meeting ahead. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

What is a good scripture to read before a meeting?

There are several good scriptures that you can read before a meeting. You can also pray for your upcoming business meeting in your morning prayers. Here are several of them: 

[Colossians 3:23]

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men

[1 Corinthians 10:31]

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

Colossians 3:23 and 1 Corinthians 10:31 remind us that when we work or conduct our business, we are doing it not for men nor ourselves but for God. That is why we ought to glorify God in the way we do business.

[Proverbs 11:1]

A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight.

[Proverbs 16:8]

Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.

Because we want to glorify God in how we do business, we ought to be honest and righteous in all dealings. We fairly compensate those who work for us, give them their wages on time, don’t do things under the table, and don’t do that which is evil just to make more significant revenues—this is what we can learn from Proverbs 11:1 and Proverbs 16:8.

[Proverbs 10:4]

He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

[Proverbs 21:5]

The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.

In Proverbs 10:4 and Proverbs 21:5, the Bible teaches and reminds us that we ought to be diligent if we want to be successful in our business. Yes, God gives us the grace and wisdom we need, but we must do something for ourselves. We have to be diligent and do the work.

[Proverbs 16:3]

Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.

Last, as mentioned before, we work heartily for the LORD in everything we do. Proverbs 16:3 tells us that we are to commit our work to the LORD, and we should remind ourselves of this every day. As a Christian businessman, employee, or executive, your primary goal is not to become rich but to expand God’s kingdom.

Here is an example of how you can pray these scriptures in the morning for your business meeting:

Heavenly Father, I thank You for giving me another wonderful day. As we are about to have our business meeting later, I pray for the grace that we shall all stay on the righteous path and that we won’t think of unfair means to make a profit. May we always be diligent in our endeavors and righteous in our dealings. I commit every work that we have to You, LORD. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

A morning prayer for a business meeting does not necessarily mean praying at a morning business meeting. Even if a business meeting is in the afternoon or evening, you can still pray for it in the morning. Aside from praying for the business meeting itself, you can also pray for other matters regarding the business.
