Praying for Clients

Stepping Out in Boldness and Faith

As a Christian entrepreneur, you’re not just building a business—you’re building a kingdom. Whether you're a coach, consultant, or service provider, your work has the potential to impact lives in a way that goes beyond profits and bottom lines. You’re serving people, walking alongside them in their challenges, and helping them grow, all while maintaining your faith and values.

But have you ever thought about how your faith can directly intersect with your work? Specifically, have you ever considered praying for your clients—before, during, and after your work together? It’s a practice that may feel bold, a bit out of your comfort zone, or even vulnerable. But when you step out in faith and prayer, you invite God's power into your business and your relationships with your clients in ways that can transform lives! Because let’s face it, the only thing we can bring with us to Heaven is souls.

Here’s how you can boldly pray for your clients, trust God in the process, and watch Him work through your business.

1. Start With a Heart of Service and Love

Before you begin praying for your clients, remember the heart behind it all: service. The greatest leaders in the kingdom are servants (Matthew 23:11), and when you serve your clients, you're reflecting the heart of Jesus.

Praying for your clients is an extension of the love you already show them through your work. You are committed to their growth, success, and goals and prayer is an intimate way to show that commitment. It's not just about solving their problems or meeting their needs—it’s about caring for their whole being: heart, mind, and soul.

Start with this simple prayer (before your day starts):

"Lord, help me to love my clients with the same heart You have for them. Let my work and my prayers reflect Your love for them. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

2. Pray for Wisdom and Insight for Their Needs

As a service-based entrepreneur, whether you're a coach, consultant, hair stylist, real estate agent, loan officer, or therapist, you’re often asked to offer wisdom, insight, or guidance. But in those moments when you feel unsure or need deeper understanding, they’re opportunities to invite God’s wisdom into your process.

Pray for clarity and insight as you serve them. Ask God to guide your decisions, give you discernment about what they truly need, and lead the conversation or solution in a direction that aligns with His will.

A prayer you can pray before a session or a project might look like this:

"Father, I ask for Your wisdom as I work with [client’s name]. Help me to see beyond their words and into their hearts. Grant me the discernment to speak truth, offer the right solutions, and honor You in every interaction."

3. Pray for Healing and Transformation

As a Christian entrepreneur, your role might go beyond business advice—it could be about offering hope, healing, or even a new perspective on life. Whether you're working with clients in a coaching capacity or helping them navigate personal growth or business financials, God can use you as an instrument of His healing, direction and guidance..

When you pray for your clients, pray for transformation. Not just in their business, but in their hearts and minds. Pray for emotional healing, breakthroughs in thinking, and restoration in areas where they feel stuck or lost.

For example, you could pray:

"Lord, I lift [client’s name] up to You today. I pray for emotional healing and breakthroughs in every area where they need restoration. May Your Holy Spirit bring clarity, peace, and the courage to make the changes You desire in their life."

4. Be Bold in Offering to Pray for Them

Here’s where faith really comes into play. You may be feeling nervous about praying for your clients out loud or offering prayer as part of your services. But don’t let fear hold you back. Many of your clients may already expect that you’re someone who prays, and even those who don’t may appreciate the offer, especially in times of struggle or uncertainty.

If the opportunity arises, offer to pray with them. It can be as simple as asking:

“Before we finish today, I’d love to pray for you. Is there anything specific you’d like prayer for?”

If they’re open to it, pray in a way that aligns with the context of your work together. You don’t have to preach or be overly formal—just let the Holy Spirit guide you in what to say.

Even if you don’t pray out loud, you can still pray silently and regularly for your clients. As you feel led, write their names down in a prayer journal and ask God to intervene in their lives in ways only He can.

5. Trust That God is Working Behind the Scenes

You may never know the full impact of your prayers or the way God moves in your client’s life as a result. But trust that He is working in ways you can’t see. Just as God works in our lives even when we don’t feel His presence, He is doing the same for your clients.

Praying for your clients isn’t about you fixing their problems; it’s about inviting God to work on their behalf. You’re a conduit for His power and His love, and He will use your prayers to touch hearts, heal wounds, and guide them toward His best plan for their lives.

Take comfort in the fact that God hears your prayers and answers them in His perfect timing and in His perfect way.

You could pray:

"Lord, I trust that You are working in [client's name]'s life, even if I can't see it. Thank You for the privilege of walking with them in this journey. I trust that You will bring about the transformation and breakthroughs they need."

6. Incorporate Prayer Into Your Business Practices

Prayer doesn’t have to be a one-time thing; it can be woven into your entire business. Consider creating a practice of praying before meetings, before working on projects, or even praying over your workspace and the work you do.

Incorporating prayer into your business practices keeps your focus on God and reminds you that He is the ultimate provider and guide. It allows you to align your business with His purposes, and it invites His blessings into everything you do.

Start by praying over your daily schedule, clients, and upcoming projects, asking God for His presence and guidance in all things. This practice can transform the way you approach your work, infusing it with purpose and divine direction.

7. Keep Your Own Heart Open to God’s Leading

Praying for your clients is powerful, but don’t forget to also pray for yourself. Ask God to keep your heart humble, your mind open, and your spirit receptive to His voice as you navigate the entrepreneurial journey.

God may lead you to unexpected conversations, challenges, or opportunities. Stay attuned to His voice, and trust that He is guiding both you and your clients toward His greater plan.

Conclusion

Being a Christian entrepreneur isn’t just a spiritual practice—it’s an act of boldness and faith. It demonstrates your trust in God, your love for others, and your desire to align your work with His will. As you step out in faith and invite God into your business, you’ll not only see transformation in the lives of your clients but also experience a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment in your work.

Remember, the God who called you to this business is faithful. He will guide you, strengthen you, and answer your prayers in ways that go beyond what you can imagine. So pray boldly, serve with love, and trust that He is working in and through you for His glory.

With great love,
