How to Make Your Own Prayers for Work Problems
You can always make your own prayers for work problems. After all, prayer is talking to God just as you would with a friend. A good starting point when making your own prayer is to use the Scripture. Here’s a short guide on how to do that.
Step 1 – Reflect on the following Bible Verses:
John 16:33
I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.
Hebrews 12:14
Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
Isaiah 54:17
No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment.
Isaiah 41:10
Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
Step 2 – Praise God:
Because he is a father who hears the cries of his children and responds to our prayers. For he is a father who knows everything, and it is he who hears us when we call to him for help. Nothing we do evade his notice, and he watches us all.
Step 3 – Offer Him Thanks:
That he watches over your life and that he is able to protect you from all harm and difficulty that arises in your life.
Step 4 – Ask God:
To give you the peace that surpasses all understanding.
To help you live in peace with everyone.
To totally obliterate and destroy all the weapons made against you.
To help you settle any disputes between you and your opponents.
To condemn any tongue that rises against you.
To condemn any evil-doers who slander you.
To strengthen you and give you courage to fight, and to overcome.
