As we enter the Thanksgiving holiday, a simple way to lead with your faith is by being willing to pray. The prayers below will help you address a variety of needs you may encounter over the holidays and beyond.
A Prayer to invite God into your holiday festivities:
Heavenly Father, my desire is to boldly serve You. I invite You into the midst of my holiday activities. May everyone I interact with, in every place I go, be aware of Your abiding presence. May Jesus’ name be honored, and may His authority be visible through my life. In Jesus’ name, amen.
A prayer to invite God’s intervention:
Heavenly Father, nothing is impossible for You. We ask for Your intervention. Let Your power and grace be made evident. In Jesus’ name, amen.
A prayer to invite God’s healing:
Almighty God, thank You for doctors and healthcare available to us. You are our Healer, and we ask for Your intervention. Bring health, life, and freedom from pain. Open a path toward health and wholeness. In Jesus’ name, amen.
A prayer to invite God’s provision:
Heavenly Father, You are the provider of all things. We ask now for Your provision in our lives. We put our trust in You, and we lay aside worry and anxiety. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Never underestimate the power of short, simple prayers. They invite God’s presence and power into a situation, asking Him to move and intervene as only He can. If we fail to pray, we leave people at the mercy of the world’s systems—which isn’t merciful at all. So, let’s be faithful to pray through this holiday season—then let’s see how God responds.
