God's Help is a book of prayers on specific topics that I worked on a year ago and that was published by Howard Books (Simon & Schuster) in 2012. The 101 prayers are organized into six categories:
Home and Family
Attitudes and Emotions
Work and Finances
Spiritual Growth
My World and Nation
Mission and Service
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” - Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT)
Heavenly Father,
When so many people are out of work I am grateful that
You have blessed me with the means to a livelihood. I know that with a roof
over my head and food on the table I already live better than many in the
world.
So it is with a sense of gratitude for all I already have
and have been given that I come to You with the request for promotion. I truly
believe You have planted in my heart the desire to grow in my skills, to assume
greater responsibilities, to exercise leadership to a greater degree in ways
that helps others to grow.
I pray first of all that You would help me to walk worthy
of a promotion. Reveal in my heart and spirit ways that I need to grow and
personally improve to be ready for promotion. I pray that You will bless my
work and influence and that all I do will positively contribute to the growth
of my company and the workers around me.
I pray that You will bring me and my work to the attention of those in
positions to offer promotion.
But I affirm that promotion ultimately comes from You and
I will not forget to thank and praise You for Your work on my behalf.
That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. - Abraham Lincoln
