Prayer for Success

It has been said that one of the worst things that can happen to you is that you are successful before you are ready to be successful. The music business is littered with individuals whose lives have been wrecked (or, worse still, ended prematurely) because they found success through remarkable talent, but their character was unable to cope with the effects of the stardom. So as we pray that we would be successful, we ask that our character, and the talents that God has instilled in us, both mature and grow together so that we are able to fully enjoy success when it arrives, and not be crushed by it. Success as the bible defines it is not necessarily fame or riches. Rather, it is when we are fully alive, when we are reaching and acheiving the potential that God has created us for. Lower down this page you find a general prayer for success, as well as prayers for success in exams and business, and some bible verses from the old and new testaments on success.

prayer for success

Lord, I earnestly seek after You

I seek Your kingdom, Your will

That heaven may come to earth

And Your presence would be known by all

I lay my plans before You

Please rearrange them as You see fit

See if there is any corrupt way within me

And lead me in the everlasting way

I give you the desires of my heart

My ambitions and my schemes

I surrender them wholly to You

Please anoint them for Your purposes and glory

I give You my whole being

My giftings and my character

Come sharpen my skills and transform my heart

This day and every day

~Amen~

prayer for success in exams

Lord, you know the anxiety that I'm feeling right now

Please calm my spirit

Come and still my nerves

For the questions I am about to be given

Help me to read them slowly and correctly

Come and flood my heart with Your peace

For the words I am about to write

Help me to recall everything fully

Come and inspire my mind as I gather my thoughts

For the examiners who read my work

Help them to mark with justice and fairness

Come and refresh them, please bless their lives

I give all these prayers to You

And ask that this day you would give me the success that my heart desires

For Your kingdom and glory

~Amen~

bible verses about success

Here are three famous scriptures from the Old Testament on the topic of success:-

“For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. ".

Jeremiah 29:11-12 (NIV)

"Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of your habitations; don't spare: lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes. For you shall spread out on the right hand and on the left; and your seed shall possess the nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited".

Isaiah 54:2-3 (WEB)

"...But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and whose mind is on his law day and night. He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, which gives its fruit at the right time, whose leaves will ever be green; and he will do well in all his undertakings".

Psalm 1:2-3 (BBE)

And some scriptures from the new testament that provide God's framework for success:-

"Make no store of wealth for yourselves on earth, where it may be turned to dust by worms and weather, and where thieves may come in by force and take it away. But make a store for yourselves in heaven, where it will not be turned to dust and where thieves do not come in to take it away: For where your wealth is, there will your heart be".
Matt 6: 19-21 (BBE)

"If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you".
John 15:7 (ASV)

"Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be given to you. For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you".
Luke 6:38 (WEB)

"Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need".
Matt 6:33 (NLT)
