This is a season of reflection, thanksgiving, and preparation for the new year. We acknowledge Your hand upon our lives throughout the year and ask for Your presence to lead us through this month with peace, joy, and favor.
Let us pray:
1. Thanksgiving and Praise
Almighty God, we exalt Your holy name! Thank You for seeing us through the past 11 months of 2024. You have been our refuge, strength, and sustainer. Thank You for the gift of life, for Your unfailing love, and for the countless blessings we have received. Lord, we are grateful for the victories, the lessons in trials, and the opportunities to grow in faith.

“The LORD goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” (Deuteronomy 31:8).
Lord, lead us in paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake. Let Your Holy Spirit illuminate our hearts and grant us discernment to make godly choices in all we do.
3. Prayer for Divine Protection
Lord, we commit December into Your hands, asking for Your divine protection over us, our families, and everything that concerns us. Shield us from every plan of the enemy, and cover us with the precious blood of Jesus.
“The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” (Psalm 18:2).
Let no harm come near our dwelling places. Assign Your angels to guard us in all our ways. Keep us safe in our going out and coming in, and deliver us from every trap set by the enemy.
4. Prayer for Provision and Favor
Jehovah Jireh, our Provider, we trust You to meet every need this month. As we prepare for the festivities of the season, bless us with the resources we need to celebrate with joy and generosity. Open the windows of heaven and pour out blessings upon us that there will not be room enough to receive them.

Grant us favor in our workplaces, businesses, and relationships. Let Your favor surround us like a shield, and may everything we touch prosper in accordance with Your will.
5. Prayer for Healing and Restoration
Lord, we pray for healing—healing in our bodies, our minds, and our spirits. For those who are sick, we ask for Your divine touch to bring complete restoration. For those brokenhearted or weary, we ask for Your comfort and peace.
“But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,” declares the LORD. (Jeremiah 30:17).
Father, restore all that the enemy has stolen this year. Renew our strength, and give us the grace to finish this year strong. Let December be a month of restoration and breakthroughs in every area of our lives.
6. Prayer for Joy and Peace
Lord Jesus, as we prepare to celebrate Your birth, fill our hearts with joy and peace that surpasses all understanding. Help us to focus on the true meaning of the season and to reflect Your love and light to everyone around us.
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” (Romans 15:13).
May this month be filled with laughter, happiness, and harmony in our families and communities. Teach us to rejoice always, to pray continually, and to give thanks in all circumstances.
7. Prayer for a Fresh Start and New Beginnings
Lord, as we approach the end of 2024, prepare our hearts for the new year ahead. Help us to release every burden, forgive those who have hurt us, and leave behind anything that does not glorify You. Give us a fresh vision for the future and inspire us to pursue the purposes You have for our lives.
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!” (Isaiah 43:18-19).
Empower us to walk in faith and boldness, trusting that You have great plans for us in 2025—plans to prosper us and not to harm us, plans to give us hope and a future.
8. Closing Thanksgiving and Declaration
Father, we thank You for hearing our prayers and for the assurance that You will walk with us through December. We declare that this month shall be one of blessings, testimonies, and answered prayers.
