Prayers for November: Thankfulness for God’s Provision
If we trust in God’s will and His sovereignty, we will find that we have all we need for His plan for our lives! Sometimes this will feel like lack, but other times it will be a sweet abundance.
When we feel entitled to a certain acknowledgement or a particular lifestyle, we may be serving our pride more than serving the kingdom of God. Being thankful combats this way of thinking.
Let’s pray through these prayer points on being thankful for God’s provision.
Prayer Points for Thankfulness for God’s Provision
- Be thankful in prayer to God for everything. “Giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father.” Ephesians 5:20

- Pray that you will see how God provides for your joy. “Also delight yourself in the LORD , and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4 WEBBE
- Pray for understanding of God’s dominion. “For every animal of the forest is mine, and the livestock on a thousand hills. I know all the birds of the mountains. The wild animals of the field are mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.” Psalm 50:10-12
Prayer for Thankfulness for God’s Provision

We pray that we would have thankful hearts throughout the year!
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Prayers for November: Guidance for Government Leaders
Where we live can affect our ability to freely worship God and share Him with others. Government leaders can play a big role in these freedoms.
Whether or not a leader is a Christian, we need to be praying for them. What they do affects not only our everyday life, but the direction of our country.
Prayer Points for Government Leaders
- Pray for the leaders to pursue godly lives. “I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men: for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.” 1 Timothy 2:1-2
- Pray for leaders to turn away from sin and turn to God. “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14
- Pray for leaders to pursue God’s will for the country. “Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:10

May they honor You today!
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
Prayers for November: Gratitude for God’s Love and Grace
One of the scriptures that can impress on us the need for God each day is Psalm 3:3 WEBBE. “But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.”
The “one who lifts my head” reminds us of how God sustains us in our own lives, in so many ways. He gives us life each day, and He provides for us. But He also does not let our sins or unholiness crush us.
Through our redemption, and by the power of the Holy Spirit, He empowers us to serve Him with good works! We can be thankful for God’s love and grace in our lives.
Thankful Prayer Points for God’s Love and Grace

We pray, Heavenly Father, that You would help us everyday to be more thankful. Your compassion and grace in our lives is abundant.
Thank You for Your amazing love! May we reflect that in our lives today.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Prayers for November: Thanksgiving for God’s Promises
The Bible is full of God’s truth! In addition to the history and the theology are promises that we can ponder and find much comfort and strength.
We need to be careful that we don’t turn every verse into a promise; look at the context. Some Scriptures that are claimed as promises were meant for the person or people in that situation.
Here are just a few of the promises that we can see in the Bible.
Thanksgiving Prayer Points for God’s Promises
- Thank God for salvation. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.” John 3:16
- Thank God that He will never leave you. “For he has said, ‘I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.’” Hebrews 13:5b
- Thank God for His peace available through prayer. “In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7
- Thank God for the mercy He gives us. “Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16
- Thank God for His provision. “My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19
Prayer of Thanksgiving for God’s Promises
Dear Lord,
We are thankful for all the promises we find in the Holy Bible. What a treasure they are, from our faithful God!
We pray that we would read and understand Your Word, and that we would stand firm in Your promises for us.
Thank You for Your great mercy and compassion on us, that You would make any promises to us! We are blessed by Your promises to us.
In the name of Christ Jesus, Amen.
Prayers for November: Strength to Persevere
Being busy can make challenging times even more difficult! We can struggle to have the patience, strength, or endurance to get through challenges under the best of circumstances, but a busy schedule makes things harder.
As we head into a busy time of year, we need to be praying for strength to persevere. God uses trials in our lives for growth in our relationship with Him, and to accomplish His purposes. We can look to Him for what we need during these times.
Prayer Points for Strength to Persevere
- Pray for endurance during trials. “For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through perseverance and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.” Romans 15:4
- Pray for power during challenges. “Strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy.” Colossians 1:11

- Pray to pursue perseverance. “But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.” 1 Timothy 6:11
- Pray for perseverance during sufferings. “Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope.” Romans 5:3-4
Prayer for Strength to Persevere
Dear Lord,
You know what we are facing, and what lies ahead. We trust You for all of it.
We pray that You would grow endurance, patience, perseverance, and hope in us as we face these challenges.
Remind us of Your power, strength, and love each day!
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
