When closing a meeting, thanking God for his continued protection and inspiration is just one way to end a bible study or meeting. Here is a look at some great opening and closing prayers for meetings that will help encourage your continued commitment and dedication to the Lord. Prayers #1 Lord, as we gather today at this meeting we ask that You will be in our midst. Help us to make decisions that will be pleasing to You. Help us to be able to discuss the matters at hand in a reasonable way, and to be willing to give up having our own way. God let this meeting be productive and, as should be the case in all areas of our lives, help us to keep You at the forefront of our minds as we do the work set before us.

• Opening Prayer For Children's Ministry Workers

Aug 18, 2011 - Children learn to pray by praying. During my first year teaching kindergarten in the church, I opened each session with prayer. Opening a meeting such as a seminar or church service in prayer is like laying a blanket of grace upon the ground. The love of Christ settles in the hearts and minds of all those present.

Amen Prayers #2 Jesus as we gather together to learn about You, may You meet us here. Help all of the teachers to be able to answer the questions posed, and help all of the children listen and retain what they hear. Help the students to be attentive, and the teachers to be patient.

May the lessons that are taught help to instill righteousness in these children, and may the seeds planted here continue to guide them throughout their lives. Amen Prayers #3 You, O God, are my strength, my patience, my light and my counsel. It is you who make responsive to me the students confided to my care. Abandon me not to myself for one moment. For my own conduct and for that of my students, grant me the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of knowledge and piety, the spirit of holy fear of you, and an ardent zeal to procure your glory. I unite my efforts to those of Jesus Christ, the master teacher, and I beg all saints in Heaven to assist me in the exercise of my teaching ministry. Amen Prayers #4 O God of truth, prepare our minds To hear and heed your holy word; Fill every heart that longs for you With your mysterious presence, Lord.

Almighty Father, with your Son And blessed Spirit, hear our prayer: Teach us to love eternal truth And seek its freedom everywhere. Amen Prayers #5 As we close this meeting, Lord, we want to give honor to You. Thank You, God, for the time we had today to discuss issues and make decisions. May You bless each person who took the time to gather here today and let Your hand of protection be on them throughout the rest of the week. Let the work done here tonight come to fruition, and let it all be for Your glory. Help us each to do our parts to bring the plans discussed to life.

Amen Prayers #6 God we thank You for meeting us here tonight, and for delivering Your Word through the speaker. May each soul in this place have been touched through the songs and the preaching, and may each take to heart the Word that came forth. We pray that those seeking an answer received it, and that those who needed a special touch were granted that touch.

Bless each of us and keep us safe until we are able to gather together again. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen Prayers #7 Go forth in peace, for you have followed the good road. Go forth without fear, for God who created You has made you holy, has always protected you, and loves you as a mother. Amen Prayers #8 Every prayer we have prayed Every song we have sung All the things we have learned All the laughter and fun Thank you for all the joy you bring And our wonderful times together May we walk with you as each new day begins This day and forever Amen.

Prayers #9 Father, thank you for all the marvelous things you have done today. Thank you for your love that you have revealed to us, And for the love that we share together as your body. We pray for all the words you have sown into people’s hearts today. Watch over them, protect them. May they take root and produce wonderful things, Things of beauty and great blessings to many. And as we leave this place now, thank you that you walk with us.
