My Personal Bible Verse + 10 Bible Verses for Small Business Owners

My personal bible verse is 2023. Romans 8:28, “We know that God works together for all who love him.” Even your failures make you better. There are times when things don’t go the way you want them to go, but most of the time God takes care of you. Trust that it will still work to your advantage in the long run. Here are 10 Bible verses every small business owner needs for 2023.

1. Romans 12:2-4

“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind, and do not follow the pattern of this world. Then you can test and prove what God’s will is, that is, His good, pleasing, and perfect will.”

Everyone has an inner voice that speaks to them. Often, that voice is offensive and negative. Be careful with your daily thoughts. You have to teach yourself not to be negative. One of my favorite books is The Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyers. Our thoughts are key to our daily mood and mental health. This Bible verse is about interpreting life through the lens of God’s Word and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, not through your experiences, wounds, injuries, choices, or the opinions of others. Focus on it to calm the noise.

2. Deuteronomy 31:6 NV

“Be strong and take courage. Do not fear or panic because of them, b Lord Your God will go with you; They will not see you, they will not see you.”

We must always remember our source of power; not human. Our power is from the one true living God. Our God commanded us, “Fear not.” Your faith must be stronger than your fear. When the economy gets tight, your business can be very stressful. The cost of everything is going up: supplies, shipping, taxes, and labor. But he has provided everything you need. He is on road work. The secret of confidence is the consciousness of God’s nearness. If God is the true refuge, strength, and help of His people, there is no rational reason to fear even in the greatest crisis.

3. Ephesians 2:10

“For we are God’s handiwork; we were created in Christ Jesus to do the good work that God has prepared in advance for us to do.”

God has prepared a good work for every believer to do. God completes His good work in believers and works in them according to His good purpose.

4. Psalm 128:1-2

“Blessed are those who fear God and walk in obedience to Him. You will eat the fruits of your labor; blessing and prosperity will be yours.”

God promises to bless all who fear him and walk in his ways. This Bible verse is written so that believers can know the joy that only God can give. A person’s physical or financial condition does not determine their happiness, but rather their spiritual relationship with it. It is not about how much money you have but where and how we worship the Lord.

5. James 5:16 NIV

“Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another so that you may be healed. “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and powerful,” he said.

Do you know how to access the power of God? There are a few ways. Call on His name (“Help me, Jesus!”) or train your thoughts on Him, but the best way to ignite God’s power is to pray regularly. Prayer is powerful. It helps you plan your day. Make daily prayer a habit; The chaos of the day rolls off you like water off a duck’s back.

6. Galatians 5:22-23 AD

They said, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things.”

Everyday life can be overwhelming – on us and around us. God is great to change all things by the fruit of the Spirit. Patience is a quality that enables a person to endure suffering and wait for the Lord. When the devil knows he cannot overcome us, he uses small daily challenges. It is a long-term approach. The devil wants to wear us down, to make us doubt that the Lord still sees us. In the bigger picture, the Spirit has a work to do in all of us. To remind us to be humble, kind and patient.

7. Psalm 37:8-9

“Avoid anger and turn away from anger; do not be angry – it only leads to evil. for the wicked shall perish; But those who trust in God will inherit the land.

From childhood, we were taught, “Vengeance is mine, says the Lord.” Wasting time trying to get back at people is never a good idea. Be silent before God, and wait patiently. Don’t be upset when people prosper from their evil schemes. Abstain Out of anger and leave anger do not Frustration – Only he can It will hurt you.

8. Psalm 46:1 NV

“God is our refuge and our strength, and our helper in times of trouble.

This verse is about God’s provision. We all need to pray to God for help in difficult times. God himself is refuge. God is strength to his people; God alone is our refuge and strength. He Is not Allah the One who carries your burdens, but supports you with them? The experience of suffering is not taken from God’s servants; It makes us stronger to withstand the pressure and make the servants more perfect. This is how God supports us in carrying burdens.

9. Proverbs 16:3 NV

“Commit everything you do to God, and your plan will succeed.He said.

In our hearts, we plan our course, but it is Jehovah who determines our steps. When you come up with a business idea, make a plan, and share it with God, He will make sure you accomplish it. There is nothing like inviting God to be a part of your business. When you learn to listen to God’s voice, he often plants a business idea in you. This is how I was led to become a SmallBizLady.

10. 2 Corinthians 31:9 NV

“When we are weak, we rejoice when you are strong. We pray for your restoration.”

In business, people assume we have more money and are doing better than us. Many of us have a hard time keeping around people we can truly trust and believe in. When we are tired It needs strength to pass. God is our strength. We all need to understand others and pray for them to be strong enough to face their own struggles. Prayer is key.

Bonus Bible Verse: Joshua 1:9 NV

“Didn’t I order you? Cheer up, cheer up. don’t be afraid He said to him, “Do not be weary, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Life is full of problems, sorrows and difficult decisions. But in difficult situations, the Lord advises us to be strong and courageous. Understanding this Bible verse will help us face difficult things with faith and courage. God is always with us, so we can be strong knowing that he always has our back.

I pray that these verses will encourage you to stay strong in your business this year. God loves us so much. His blessings are new every day. He wants us to win, but He always wants us to experience adversity because His best work is done in valley seasons. God bless you in the coming year!
