DAILY PRAYERS FOR GUYS

To Bless Congregational Leaders

Almighty Lord,
In your grace, you not only provide congregations with pastors to shepherd your sheep, but also faithful congregational leaders to direct and carry out ministry. Since the vast majority of congregations rely on volunteer members to serve in various capacities rather than paid staff, these gifts to your church are willingly giving their time and talents as sacrificial offerings. Make their work a joy, surround them with support and prayers on their behalf, and let their acts of service inspire others to use their gifts in service to you, too. Bless the relationship leaders have with their pastors and teachers, so they are eager to help and build one another up. Grant them the joy of having a front row seat in seeing firsthand the fruit you bear through their work together with the gospel. Provide for all of your churches in need of leaders, and continue to raise up faithful, dedicated, gospel-fueled believers to lead for generations to come.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Bless My Workplace

Dear Lord,
Look with favor on my workplace. Thank you for the employment opportunity for my coworkers and me. Through it, you provide us with an income that allows us to care for ourselves and our families. Equip us to carry out our work well, resulting in quality products and services. Uphold my employer’s reputation so that our name is respected in our industry or field. Give the owners and managers strong leadership abilities and valuable interpersonal skills, which foster a healthy work environment and drive employees to be eager and dedicated as a team to carry out their work together. Fill us with a sense of satisfaction and pride in what we produce or build, and let what we do remain necessary and important work by which we serve and provide for others. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. 

DAILY PRAYERS FOR GUYS

For the President

Sovereign Lord,
Surround the President of the United States with guidance, wisdom, and maturity through councils, committees, and confidants who genuinely have the best interests of the American people at heart. Grant him the humility to seek and accept direction from others and the confidence to make difficult decisions for the greater good. Move him to lead with integrity and honesty, not seeking to shift blame when wrong, but being quick to take responsibility for poor judgment or mistakes. Help him to learn from his errors so that he is always growing and developing his leadership skills. Bestow on him the ability to demonstrate a gentle and compassionate spirit when necessary, and the willingness to be firm whenever appropriate. Lead him to prioritize prudence over popularity and to exercise discernment to avoid division whenever possible. When the gravity of his responsibilities weighs on him, or his heart is troubled, give him peace of mind. You alone, Lord, know what is in his heart, and you alone can change and transform his heart to suit your perfect purposes. Do so as you see fit, to bless both his leadership and those he leads. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
