“Anointed to Lead, Called to Empower”

“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.” – Proverbs 31:25 (NIV)

“Lord, today I stand at the edge of a great calling — one that feels bigger than myself, yet rooted in the very identity You’ve given me. You are Creator — not just of the universe, but of purpose, vision, and destiny. And because I am made in Your image, You have planted within me the capacity to lead, build, and inspire.

As I prepare to step into the sphere of public service and global influence, I acknowledge that this is not merely a career path — it is a Kingdom assignment. I am not pursuing a position; I am walking into a mission. One that seeks to lift up, equip, and release women entrepreneurs into their God-given destinies. This isn’t about my name being known — it’s about Your name being glorified through every empowered woman who dares to dream, build, and rise.

God, I need Your wisdom. Leading women globally means navigating cultures, economies, and barriers — but none of those are greater than Your power. You are the God who breaks chains and opens doors. You are the God who multiplies what we surrender. You are the God who makes a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

Remind me that my influence flows from intimacy with You. That my leadership will bear fruit when it is first rooted in obedience. That strategy is important — but surrender is essential.

Help me to carry the mantle of leadership with humility, boldness, and love. Let me be a reflection of Christ — not just in speech, but in service. Let my life be a testimony that faith and business are not at odds, but allies in the hands of a visionary God.

And as I build, teach me to celebrate the process — to see Your fingerprints in the unseen hours, the quiet prayers, the small beginnings. Remind me that before there is fruit, there must be faithfulness.

Today, I commit my hands, heart, and mind to You. Use me to open doors for others, especially the women who have been overlooked, underestimated, or under-resourced. Let my leadership ignite a movement — not just of entrepreneurship, but of Kingdom transformation across nations.

Prayer:

God, today, as I prepare to work and do what You’ve called me to do, I want to first acknowledge You as Creator. I’m reminding myself that because I am made in Your image, You have also created me to create. I ask that You would lead and guide me to honor You through my words, actions and work. Remind me that You delight in the process just as much as in the final product. Show me more of who You are. Reveal to me how I can help, bless or equip someone else with what I’m working on. Thank You for this gift, and I pray it brings You so much glory.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
