As we enter the month of June, let’s declare it a month dedicated to prayer. For the next four Thursdays, we will focus on different types of prayers to speak over our lives and businesses. By setting aside specific times for prayer, we invite God’s presence, guidance, and blessings into our daily routines.
Here are four types of prayers, along with relevant Bible passages, to help you pray effectively each Thursday this June.
1. Prayer of Thanksgiving (First Thursday, which is TODAY)
Thanksgiving prayers are a powerful way to start our month. By acknowledging God’s goodness and blessings, we shift our focus from our challenges to His faithfulness.
Bible Passage: “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.” – Psalm 107:1
Prayer: “Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude. Thank You for Your endless love, mercy, and grace. Thank You for the blessings You have poured out on my life and my business. I acknowledge Your goodness and provision, and I trust that You will continue to guide me. Help me to remain thankful in all circumstances, recognizing Your hand in every aspect of my journey. Amen.”
2. Prayer of Wisdom (Second Thursday)
Wisdom prayers are essential for making sound decisions in our personal lives and businesses. By seeking God’s wisdom, we align our choices with His will.
Bible Passage: “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” – James 1:5
Prayer: “Lord, I ask for Your wisdom in all my decisions. Grant me clarity and insight as I navigate the challenges and opportunities in my life and business. Help me to discern Your will and to act according to Your guidance. Give me the wisdom to lead with integrity and to make choices that honor You. I trust in Your promise to provide wisdom generously to those who ask. Amen.”
3. Prayer of Protection (Third Thursday)
Protection prayers are crucial for safeguarding our lives, families, and businesses. By praying for God’s protection, we place our trust in His power to keep us safe from harm.
Bible Passage: “The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” – Psalm 121:7-8
Prayer: “Father, I ask for Your protection over my life, my family, and my business. Watch over us and keep us safe from any harm or danger. Surround us with Your angels and guard us from any threats, both seen and unseen. I trust in Your promise to be our refuge and fortress. Help us to walk in Your protection, knowing that You are always with us. Amen.”
4. Prayer of Provision (Fourth Thursday)
Provision prayers are vital for trusting God to meet our needs. By praying for provision, we acknowledge that God is our ultimate source of all resources and blessings.
Bible Passage: “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:19
Prayer: “Lord, I bring my needs before You, trusting in Your provision. You know the financial and material needs of my life and business. I ask that You provide for every need according to Your riches in glory. Help me to rely on Your faithfulness and to seek Your kingdom first, knowing that all these things will be given to me as well. I thank You in advance for Your abundant provision and care. Amen.”
June is a wonderful month to deepen our prayer life and invite God’s blessings into our lives and businesses. By focusing on prayers of thanksgiving, wisdom, protection, and provision each Thursday, we can experience God’s presence and guidance more fully. Let’s commit this month to prayer, trusting that God will move powerfully in response to our faith and dedication.
