Claim Gods revealed promises in the Holy Bible. God is the God of more than enouph with plenty left over.
Two Pastors who write about successful living.

http://www.riveroflifefellowship.org . A message a short time ago was about how we ask God. And you can look for this message at Pastor Jacks web site. God doesn't answer all requests. There is a right way to pray.
Then there is the book on a 'The Purpose Driven Life'. By Rick Warren.

Prayer is talking to God. Would you want to hear some canned statements over and over again? Just be honest. God already knows what you need but loves to hear from you anyway. He hears everything and knows your attitudes and thoughts. If he refuses your request it is for your best. What if your business fails? Will you still trust God with your life?

There are two things.
1.WORK
2.PRAY
in that order
Tell you a story.In Hindu mythology there is a sage called naradh who roams the cosmos saying the name of GOD.
One day he asked the GOD who is the most ardent devotee of all thinking GOD will say his name.But GOD showed a poor farmer and said he is number one.Naradh was angry and said the farmer just thinks of you only once or twice a day but i always preach about you .Then GOD took a container full of oil and placed it on Naradh's head and said toprove that he was the best thecontainer should be carried on his head and he should be careful that not a single drop of oil spills out.Naradh put all his concentration and carried the container of oil on his head and went round the world and did not spill any oil .Being proud of his work asked the GOD now i am the best devotee am i not?.GOD asked him "say Naradh how many time did you think of me while carrying the oil on your head"Naradh had to admit not even onceand then GOD said even though you say my words all the time, the farmer inspite of all his hardships think of me without any favour.
So my dear friend go on doing your job with the name of GOD on your lips ,then you will be happy.
Best Regards on your venture.

Pray like this:
Dear Lord, I wish to be born again, but this time as a Rich Kid!

and Jesus said: when you pray, pray like this: and don't pray like this:
If you do your homework, you'll see that we are to pray alone, in our closet, humbly, having forgiven our trespassers, asking for the will of the Father . . . and asking for what we want (you have not because you ask not) . . . straight forward without a lot of useless words and phrases . . .
really . . . it is a huge question . . . and you are expected to do the leg work . . . search it out . . . study to show yourself approved . . . come to a place that you are operating in faith . . . 'whatever is done without faith is sin'

This is the answer. Matthew 6:33--But seek ye first the kingdom of God , and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
God be with you

O Lord please make me successful in my business venture if You so desire. Whatever financial success I will get from this venture will be due to Your blessings but please make me a dust at Your Lotus feet so that I can serve you with everything You give me eternally

If God doesn't have the time to worry about starving children in Africa, he obviously doesn't have the time to worry about your business problems.
