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. If you scroll to the bottom of this page, you can even leave a comment to ask for prayers from other readers or support others who have requested prayers.

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.

Thank you for these specific prayers. My husband and i recently moved to Georgia. I was able to re open my baking business. God has been so good in allowing g my name to get out there by instructing me to give away many goodies. I have been told of 4 different events i will be participating in. An elementary schools silent auction and a medical rehab center where i am donating my goodies in both cases. Another street dance and finally a VERY large event in Tennessee. I am excited and nervous for all. These prayers are exactly what i was looking for. I would love for others to pray for me and my hubby with these upcoming events. I would also love to pray for others who have their own special upcoming events. Thank you again. God bless
I’m so glad to hear that, Lisa! I’ll be praying for you and your upcoming events- especially the big one in Tennessee! I’m sure others here will be as well! God bless!

Ann,
There are several ladies in our church that went to an IF Gathering, a women’s conference in Dallas, TX last March. We decided that we could host a Live Stream IF Gathering at our small church. We were hoping for 200 women in our surrounding communities to share this special time of discipleship. We are 10 days away from the conference weekend and only 58 ladies have registered. We have been fasting, and praying over the pews, and planning our hearts out. My prayers is that it’s a successful event in God’s eyes. I would appreciate your prayers also. Thank you!
Praying for you and for your event!
