Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus on behalf of ###, who is seeking your guidance and approval to start a ministry. Lord, we acknowledge that ministry is a calling from you, and we ask for your divine wisdom and discernment in this decision.
Your Word tells us in Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." We pray that you would grant ### the clarity and assurance of your will for their life and ministry. Open doors of opportunity and provide divine connections and resources to fulfill this calling.
Father, we ask that you equip ### with the necessary spiritual gifts, anointing, and knowledge of your Word to effectively minister to others. Help them to be a faithful minister, speaking forth the mysteries of Christ and demonstrating your love to those they serve.
Lord, we also pray for protection from the enemy's schemes and distractions. Keep ### from evil and guard their heart and mind against any form of temptation or discouragement. May they always walk in righteousness and be a shining example of your grace and truth.
Finally, we pray for your presence to be with ### every step of the way. Just as Moses pleaded, "If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence," we ask that you go before them and be their constant companion in this ministry journey.
We thank you, Lord, for hearing our prayer and for your faithfulness to guide and provide. May ###'s ministry be a vessel of your love and transformation, bringing glory to your name. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We will continue to pray for you, ###, as you seek God's will and embark on this ministry endeavor. May God bless and guide you abundantly.
