Morning Prayer for a Business Zoom Meeting

A few decades ago, people had to travel to their meeting location so they could meet face-to-face and discuss what they needed to discuss. Some would even have to book a flight to attend an important meeting. However, with today’s technology, having a business meeting is made much easier with the availability of smartphones, laptops, and other gadgets at one’s fingertips. No matter where the business meeting participants are – even if thousands of miles separate them – they can still have a productive business meeting. One popular software that people use for meetings is Zoom.

In everything we do, even when conducting a business zoom meeting, we should commit our ways to God. It is written in Psalm 37:5 that we are to commit our ways to God and trust in Him. Praying before starting your business Zoom meeting does not have to be too long or complicated. A short prayer dedicating to God the work or meeting that you are about to have will suffice. 

Here is an example of a short prayer you can pray in the morning before you start your business Zoom meeting:

Heavenly Father, thank You for this time to have our business Zoom meeting so we can discuss matters regarding the business. We dedicate the work we are about to do for You, and we pray we shall have a productive meeting. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Though the way of holding business meetings may have changed, Christian businesspeople, executives, and employees shouldn’t change how they begin their business – in the morning or before Zoom meetings – praying to God. Though a business meeting through Zoom isn’t face-to-face, praying before you start your business Zoom meeting is still very doable. 

How do you pray a short prayer in a meeting?

Above, we discussed dedicating the work or the business Zoom meeting you are about to have to God. More than dedicating the business Zoom meeting to God, you are committing the work you do or are about to do to the LORD. That is why when you pray a short prayer before your business Zoom meeting, you are committing your work, plans, and everything to the LORD, as written in Proverbs 16:3.

Another thing that you can include when praying a short prayer for a business Zoom meeting in the morning is relying on God for grace, mercy, and wisdom. Ultimately, you can come up with the best strategies, plans, or courses of action for your business or the issues that you have because God gave you wisdom. In other words, God is the source of all abilities. That is why praying to God and asking Him for strength, wisdom, grace, and mercy, as you depend on Him, is an excellent prayer to pray in the morning as you start your business Zoom meeting.

In Daniel 2:18, Daniel told his friends to seek God for mercy because from God comes all knowledge. Also, in Proverbs 2:6, it is written that it is the LORD who gives wisdom. That is why it is through God and His mercy that we should seek knowledge, wisdom, and understanding.

In line with the things we mentioned above, here is another example of a short prayer that you can pray in the morning as you have your business Zoom meeting:

Father in heaven, thank You because You are the source of everything. You are the source of our strength, wisdom, and everything we need to run the business excellently. Remind us always to be dependent on You and not on ourselves. We commit to You the plans and works that we have in our business, and may You always be glorified in everything we do. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

In 1 Corinthians 10:31, it is written that in everything we do, we ought to do it for the glory of God. That is why as you pray a short prayer when starting your business day, it is only fitting you pray that you glorify God in everything you do in your business, even in the business Zoom meeting that you are about to have in the morning.

How do you pray in the Zoom meeting?

Praying in a Zoom meeting is no different than praying in a face-to-face meeting. As you pray in a face-to-face meeting, other people in the meeting get to hear your prayer. The same thing happens when praying in the business Zoom meeting. The only difference is that everything is done through video calls instead of face-to-face interaction. There is no need to think of how you should pray if it is in a Zoom meeting. Just pray the same as always, and you will be fine.

But since you are using a gadget or laptop and are reliant on an internet connection when praying in a business Zoom meeting, it is good to check your microphone, webcam, and internet connection before your business Zoom meeting in the morning. This is so that when you pray in the meeting, other people will get to hear you clearly, and your voice isn’t choppy or inaudible.

How do you pray before a business meeting?

Praying for a business meeting is not only limited to being done before the Zoom meeting. Whether you are the owner, executive, or employee, you can pray for your upcoming business Zoom meeting in the morning beforehand. How to pray for this is to first consider your concerns for your upcoming business meeting. You can write them down if you want to. If you already have them at hand, then you already have a list of prayer requests for your meeting. 

For example, you can pray that people won’t be late, that you will have a productive meeting ahead, that everyone’s internet connection will be okay, and many more issues relating to the business Zoom meeting you are about to have. You can also include the other prayer points that we have mentioned above.

Here is a prayer that you can pray before your business Zoom meeting starts:

Heavenly Father, I thank You for another day that You have given me. I pray for our business Zoom meeting this morning that we will have a productive meeting and be able to finish what we need to do. I pray that everyone will be there on time and that their internet connections will work well. I commit everything we do to You, and may You cause our work to be fruitful. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Even if you are not the owner or an executive, as an employee you can still take the initiative to pray before your business Zoom meeting in the morning. You can ask for permission from your superior if you can begin the meeting with a prayer. But, as mentioned above, you can pray for the business Zoom meeting in the morning, even before the meeting starts. If you are the owner or an executive, all the more you have the authority and influence to begin your morning business Zoom meeting with a prayer.
