Is Prayer Coverage Right for My Business?

Here is a joyful overview of the kinds of businesses and organizations and individuals who partner with us.

• While most of our clients are business owners, we have a few employees who want the kingdom of God to come through them into their place of work, and a few ministries or families who want prayer coverage, too.

• We have several solopreneurs. One client started with us even one step before that, when she went back to school, not sure of the next step in life, but ready to hear from God. On the opposite end of the spectrum, we have a founder of a 5,500-person organization, and a client who worked as an executive at one of the Big Four, before he was poached for his genius and his skills.

• While most pay for their own businesses, we also have a few who sponsor other organizations that are dear to them.

• Many are strong Christians who have walked with God for decades. At least one came to us after a life of being angry with God, but curious to see if that anger could dissipate a bit. And one client, for a season, sponsored a business whose owner didn’t show much interest in following Jesus. (Yes, God blessed him, too.)

• We have some clients who come to us absolutely desperate for a shift. Some feel more constricted, with a nagging sense that their bigger dreams have been delayed too long. And for some, things are good overall, but they want a greater impact or legacy. And God acts!

• We have some who are launching a start-up and want prayer coverage from the beginning. On the other end, we have a third-generation business that started back in the early 1970s.

• We have some clients who are on their first business venture, and also serial entrepreneurs who start and sell businesses as a matter of course.

• While most clients ask us to pray for their main work, we also have clients who work a day job and want us to pray for their side hustle. (How awesome is that!)

• We have young clients, middle-aged clients, and clients who are close to retirement and looking at transitions between current management and future management.

• And, in preparing this message, I was stunned to realize that we have at least one representative from each of the Seven Spheres of Influence: 1) Education, 2) Religion, 3) Family, 4) Business, 5) Government/Military, 6) Arts/Entertainment, and 7) Media. So thrilled!

So really, there’s a place for everyone with Workplace Prayer.

Thank you, Jesus, that you put each of us in a place that needs your love. May we serve faithfully and well. Amen.

When it comes to mercy, God is rich!

Does God actually care about our work?

Yes! Far more than most of us were ever taught! Get a short, free reflection on why work—the place we spend the most waking hours most weeks—matters to him.

(And if you're already longing to be prayed for, by name, you can begin a week of prayer coverage, our treat, at prayercoverage.co.)
