CBM MARKETPLACE MINISTRY
Prayer at the Altar
Bring Your Work Before God
Business owners carry more than business plans. They carry decisions, responsibilities, people, financial pressures, opportunities, uncertainty and the daily weight of stewardship.
At Consecrated Business Ministry, we believe none of these realities is outside the lordship of Jesus Christ.
Prayer at the Altar is a place to bring the actual work before God — not a polished version of the business, but the questions, burdens, decisions and responsibilities that accompany it.
We come to seek His wisdom, surrender our own understanding, intercede for those entrusted to us, and align our work with His Word.
We do not come to the altar to escape the work. We come so that we may return to it under the lordship of Christ.
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding: in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
PROVERBS 3:5–6 (NIV)
AT THE ALTAR
What We Bring Before God
We bring the realities of business before God because faithful stewardship requires more than human understanding. At the altar, we seek His wisdom concerning the work entrusted to us, intercede for the people affected by our decisions, surrender what is beyond our control, and receive direction for what must be done.
We do not separate prayer from practical responsibility. We bring both before the Lord.
How We Pray at the Altar
Prayer at the Altar takes different forms according to what is being brought before God. Whether we gather to intercede, pray over a particular business, worship, or seek biblical direction, our purpose remains the same: to honour Christ and bring the work under His lordship.

FROM THE ALTAR
Come as You Are. Bring the Work.
At Consecrated Business Ministry, the altar is not a place where we leave our responsibilities behind. It is where we bring them before God, seek His wisdom, surrender what we cannot control, and receive direction for what has been entrusted to us.
You do not need to have every answer before approaching the altar. Bring your questions, decisions, burdens, hopes and the realities of your work. We believe that through prayer, the Word and faithful stewardship, what is received before God must find expression in how we live, lead and build.
We come before God with the work, and we return to the work with God.
There Is a Place for You at the Altar
Whether you are seeking prayer over a particular business concern, standing in intercession for others, or desiring to grow in biblical wisdom for your work, there is a place for you at the altar.
You may come with a specific burden, join our appointed gatherings, or access Scripture-grounded prayers for your personal devotion. Each invitation is an opportunity to bring your work under the lordship of Jesus Christ.
We do not measure the journey by how long you remain with us, but by how faithfully you are equipped to walk with God in what He has entrusted to you.
