You might also be encouraged by reading about prayers to get closer to God, or prayers for positive thinking. As you continue in your prayer journey, I encourage you to also incorporate the truths of scripture into your time of prayer, like this one from the Apostle John:
“And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him” ( 1 John 5.14-15, ESV).
Here are some helpful insights to remember as you pray for positive outcomes like being specific about what you are asking for, as it allows you to focus your thoughts. Remember to be patient. God’s timing is rarely like ours, or when we may want something to happen. Trust that God is working in your life, even if you can’t see something happening at the moment. Thank God for His blessings, even amid difficult times.

I pray that your will will be done in this situation. I know that your will is always good, and I trust that it is what is best for me. Thank you for your love and your mercy. I know that you are always with me, and I trust that you will see me through this. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Prayer For Positive Results At Work
Father God, I am in a good situation at work and I am praying to you for direction to keep this good momentum going. I am asking for continued positive results in my workplace. I’m not asking to be perfect or anything but to remain focused and produce excellent work.
I need some good things to keep happening in my life and my work is a central focus for me right now. Grant me calmness in tense situations so I can think clearly. I ask for wisdom to see what needs to be done strategically that will give the best result for everyone.
I feel like I’m being selfish in asking for these things, but I also know that I can come to you in prayer about anything, at any time. So, I lift this prayer to you in trust that you will direct my path with your grace and mercy, as I don’t see everything that could happen. I know I just want positive results to keep coming my way, Lord.
In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, I pray this prayer of hope, Amen.
Prayer For A Positive Outcome In A Conflict
Lord God, I have a big negative thing in front of me, and I need Your help because I can’t see a way through this. I am in the midst of a conflict with another person in this community about an issue that has suddenly blown up into this huge deal.
I mistakenly thought I could handle it quietly and simply, but that is not the case. I think it would be best for both of us if this conflict could be resolved with a positive outcome for each party. I just don’t see a way for that to happen because I’m too close to it all.
I pray for clarity of thought and vision to see what I need to do. I can’t control the other person or what they will say or how they will react, but I pray you will have a good influence on their heart and mind. There’s got to be a way for this not to turn out negative for either of us. Help us see the way through to the other side of this conflict. In the name of Jesus, I pray, Amen.
Prayer For Positive Results From A New Project
Dear God, I am beginning a new endeavor in my life and I want so very much for it to go well, in the long term. I am praying specifically for this new project to have positive results, in my life and in the lives of everyone it touches.
I confess that I have high expectations and I don’t want them to get crushed, so please help me to see this whole thing with realistic vision. I don’t want to cause my destruction due to my arrogance and naivete. Grant me wisdom I don’t have for the sake of your love.
I have been thinking and working toward this moment for a long time, Lord, and I would love to see this come to fruition, as it is intended to do. May the outcome of all of this be positive and inspiring, for the glory of your name. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Consider This
As Christians, we believe that prayer is a powerful tool that can be used to connect with God and ask for His help. We also believe that God wants to bless us and give us good things because God is the giver of all good things. So, it is perfectly okay to pray for positive outcomes in our lives.
First, it is a way of trusting God and believing that He has good things in store for us. When we pray for positive outcomes, we are essentially saying to God, “I believe that You are good and that You want the best for me. I trust that You will work things out for my good, even if I don’t understand how right now.”
Second, praying for positive outcomes can help us to focus on the good things in our lives. When we are facing challenges or difficulties, it can be easy to get caught up in the negative. But praying for positive outcomes can help us to shift our focus to the things that we are grateful for and to believe that things will eventually work out.
Third, praying for positive outcomes can help us to be more patient. When we are waiting for a good outcome, it can be easy to get frustrated or impatient. But praying for positive outcomes can help us to trust that God is working in our lives and that He will answer our prayers in His perfect timing.
Of course, there is no guarantee that God will always answer our prayers in the way that we want Him to. But that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t pray for positive outcomes. Even if God doesn’t answer our prayers according to our wishes, He will still answer them in a way that is best for us, and in line with His will and purpose.
“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” ( Romans 12.12, NIV).
These hopeful words from the Apostle Paul serve as a reminder to us that, in the face of everything that comes toward us, we turn our hearts to God in prayer.
When you are praying for positive outcomes, it is important to be specific about what you are asking for. For example, if you are facing a job interview, you could pray for God to give you the confidence and the right words to say. If you are going through a difficult time in your relationship, you could pray for God to restore your love and bring you closer together.
It is also important to be patient when you are praying for positive outcomes. God may not answer your prayers immediately, but He will answer them in His perfect timing. So, don’t be afraid to pray for positive outcomes in your life. God is willing to hear your prayers and He wants to bless you. Trust that God is working in your life.
