In both our personal and professional lives, it is not uncommon that we find ourselves either planning or anticipating an upcoming event. Whether it is an important business meeting, a presentation, a wedding, or anything in between, it is vital that we pray for the planning process and the event itself. It is also just as important to say a prayer of praise after the successful event.
Praying for important events provides both clarity and peace in knowing that all things will occur according to the Lord’s plans. Proverbs 16:9 reads, “The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” This verse serves as a great reminder of how important it is for God to be involved during an important event.
Below are written prayers that you can use when you are looking forward to a successful event in your life. There are also prayers listed below that you can use to pray for a friend’s important event.

Closing Thoughts
Praying for the events in our lives is an important part of the Christian walk. Whether the events are big or small, organized by you or someone else like the school, the importance of praying for them remains the same. By praying to God, we can have the wisdom and peace to plan a successful event. Moreover, praying can also help us let go of the details surrounding the events that are outside of our control.
As you pray for your upcoming event, remember the words written in Philippians 4:6: “do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”
Another important part of our Christian walk is to pray for others and to let others pray for you. If you would like other readers to pray for your specific event, please leave a prayer request in the comments section below.
