How to Have a Business Meeting With God
If you're a Christian entrepreneur, you know how important it is to include God in your business. But have you ever thought about having a business meeting with God? Just like you plan meetings with clients or team members, you can also set time aside to meet with God about your business.
Having a business meeting with God is about inviting Him into your daily decisions and treating your faith as a foundation—not a side note. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you do just that.
1. Set a Time and Place
The first step is to be intentional. Just like any important meeting, you need to schedule it. Pick a time when you’re least likely to be distracted—early morning before the day starts, during a lunch break, or at the end of the workday.
Find a quiet space where you can focus. This could be your office, a cozy corner in your home, or even your car. What matters is that you show up consistently and with purpose.
Think of this as your appointment with God—your most important business partner.
2. Bring Your Business Agenda
God cares about the details of your business. He cares about your team, your clients, your marketing, your finances, and your dreams. So come to the meeting prepared, just like you would for any business strategy session.
Write down what you want to talk about. Are you trying to grow your business? Launch something new? Make a hard decision? Include both practical concerns and heart matters—your fears, your motivations, your desire to honor God in your work.
An agenda helps you stay focused and shows God that you’re serious about inviting Him into the process.
3. Pray and Listen
Now that you’re ready, start your meeting with prayer. Speak to God from your heart. You don’t need fancy words—just honesty.
Ask Him to guide your thoughts, give you clarity, and help you see your business the way He sees it. You can pray something simple like, “Lord, please lead this meeting. Show me what You want for this business.”
After you pray, take time to listen. Sit in silence. Let your thoughts settle. You might feel a sense of peace about a decision or be reminded of a scripture. Sometimes God speaks through stillness, sometimes through a gentle nudge, and other times through an idea that suddenly clicks.
Have a notebook or journal ready to capture anything you sense.
4. Read the Bible for Business Wisdom
God’s Word is full of truth that applies to business—integrity, patience, leadership, stewardship, excellence, and more. During your meeting, read a short passage from the Bible and ask how it connects to your current situation.
The book of Proverbs is filled with wisdom that applies to life and leadership. You might also find encouragement in Psalms, James, or Colossians. You don't need to read a full chapter—just a few verses can shift your mindset and give you direction.
As you read, ask:
What is God saying to me through this?
How can I apply this to my business today?
Let His Word shape your strategies.
5. Take Notes and Take Action
This is where your meeting turns into movement. Whatever you felt God was saying—write it down. Make a list of the ideas, insights, or next steps that came to you during your time together.
Treat your notes like action points. If you sensed a need to pause a project, reach out to a certain person, or change a habit—take that seriously. Don’t let your meeting end without committing to act on what you received.
You can create a “God and Business” journal where you track meetings, prayers, outcomes, and testimonies of how God is working in your business. Over time, this journal will remind you of His faithfulness and your growth as a faith-led leader.
Having a business meeting with God is not just a spiritual exercise—it’s a practical way to lead your business with purpose and peace. When you take time to slow down and seek God first, you’re not wasting time—you’re building on the strongest foundation possible.
So this week, schedule your first business meeting with God. Show up with your questions, your goals, and your heart. He’s already waiting for you—with wisdom, love, and guidance for the path ahead.
