Though we can’t predict the future, we can know for certain Who will be with us in every new season. We have a loving Father who promises to go before and behind, hedging us in with His protection and peace.
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” Ecclesiastes 3:1
It’s been a new season for my family as my husband retired after 30 long years of shift work, our youngest son moved across the country, and I received my coaching certification for biblical mentorship. Along with more personal things, this season has challenged us in ways we didn’t expect. We’ve laughed, cried, worried, and hoped, but through it all, God has faithfully covered us with mercy and favor.
Though we can’t predict the future, we can know for certain Who will be with us in every new season. We have a loving Father who promises to go before and behind, hedging us in with His protection and peace.
Whatever you’re facing in this new season, here are 5 prayers to take with you:
1. A Prayer for Health and Wellbeing
Heavenly Father, You are the Creator who fashioned me in Your likeness. You know the inner workings of my body and any areas that are prone to sickness and disease. Please, Lord, bring healing and wholeness to my frame, strengthening me to do Your will. I pray against any and all limitations hindering me from living life to the fullest. I commit every part of my mind, body, and spirit to You, trusting You as my Great Physician. Thank you for trusted doctors and medical professionals who have my best in mind. Please give me the wisdom to know when to seek treatment and what course to take. As you restore my body to full health, I purpose to walk in the gifts and talents you’ve given me as a testament to Your faithfulness. In Jesus’ holy name, amen.

Help me discern between good and evil, always choosing Your path of righteousness for Your name’s sake. Remove thoughts of doubt that cloud my vision, and strengthen my resolve to remain faithful to Your word always. In Jesus’ precious name, amen.

“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1
3. A Prayer for Your Loved Ones
Lord God, I come before You today on behalf of my loved ones. You know them by name and are aware of everything they’re going through. Lord, please watch over them, sending many angels to fight against the principalities of darkness that surrounds them. Please speak Your truth to them, drawing them near unto salvation and keeping them in Your steadfast love. I pray for everyone in my sphere of influence from youngest to oldest, that You would use me to be a faithful witness to them—a witness of your light and joy. Please guard them, guide them, and bless them, in Jesus’ mighty name, amen.

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:8
4. A Prayer for Your Finances
Father, I lay my finances at Your feet and ask for Your divine favor. Please forgive me for the areas in which I’ve been a poor steward of the resources You’ve given. Help me set financial goals that will honor You and store up treasures in heaven. Show me how to balance my budget by bringing my first fruits into Your storehouse as a tithe and offering. Give me the self-discipline to save a portion of my income, pay my bills on time, and give freely to those in need. I commit my finances to You, thanking You for the many undeserved blessings I’ve already received. In Jesus’ holy name, amen.
Scriptures for Your Finances:

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21
“Then he said to them, ‘Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.’” Luke 12:15
5. A Prayer for a Blessed Season
Gracious Heavenly Father, You have been with me through every season of life. Even when I struggled to sense Your presence, You were there. As I enter a new season, I pray for Your loving hand to guide me. I pray for abundant blessings of peace and joy as I journey into an unknown future. Thank You for never leaving or forsaking me. Draw me into Your presence daily through prayer and worship, speaking words of truth into every area. When I’m afraid, assure me of Your hand of protection. When I’m sad, be my Comforter and Friend. And when I’m uncertain of what to do next, be the still, small voice of Isaiah 30:21, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” I trust You for a bright, beautiful season in the joy of Your presence. In Jesus’ name, amen.

“Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.

“Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.” James 1:12
