Loving heavenly Father, We come to you this hour asking for your blessing and help as we are

gathered together. We pray for guidance in the matters at hand and ask that you would clearly
show us how to conduct our work with a spirit of joy and enthusiasm. Give us the desire to find
ways to excel in our work.

A Prayer to Open an Event

Father, Praise You for this event, and Your purpose for it. We know that when we
gather together, You always have a divine agenda. We love You for that, Father. That
even when we have done what You have asked, the results are so much greater than
we ever could have imagined. Even in failed attempts, You blow us away with Your
faithfulness to provide what we need.

Our prayer today is that Your will be done through this event. Take what we have prepared and
multiply our efforts as only You can. Steer our intentions to align with Your righteous will.
Remind us of Your faithful provision when our efforts fail us or fall short. May all glory go up to
You when we reach the finish line and climb over benchmarks. Blanket us with Your peace
today, Father. Keep us physically safe and guard our hearts and minds from pride and
selfishness. Keep love at the forefront of our minds today, and the guiding light for all we set out
to accomplish and celebrate. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Prayer Before Meeting

Almighty God, our Father, we praise and thank you for this day. You have given us
another opportunity to appreciate life and to fulfill our mission as Your instruments
of peace and progress. Please pardon us for our shortcomings. Help us to amend our
impieties, may we learn to pattern our lives through Your Sons example.
Father, bless all our endeavors, especially todays meeting. Guide us in our
discussions. Enlighten our minds in every decision that we make. Give us Your grace
that we may effectively do our parts as public servants. Bless our plans, programs
and projects, so that we may achieve our objectives, for Your greater glory.
All these we ask in Jesus name. Amen.
