Women’s Ministry can be such a blessing. So much thought and care goes into creating a welcoming experience for women to grow closer to the Lord. It’s crucial that prayer is also a part of planning for and taking care of women’s ministry.
Prayer is the foundation of meaningful and genuine ministry. But sometimes, it’s hard to know where to start. These women’s ministry prayer points and other resources are here to help.
This collection of prayer points focuses on building godly friendships, nurturing spiritual growth through Bible study, making a Gospel impact, trusting God in every season, and faithfully walking with Him.
Find practical suggestions and heartfelt prayers to strengthen your ministry, plus printable and customizable prayer calendars to support you on your journey. Don’t miss the free examples of printable prayer calendars at the end of this post.
Women’s Ministry Prayer Points and Sample Prayers
There are so many things to pray about for women’s ministry, but it can be difficult to focus on a variety of topics and areas to pray for.
We’ve selected 5 different areas of women’s ministry, including friendships, spiritual growth, reaching others, prayer for everyday life outside of the study, and the Christian walk. Each area has 7 prayer points.
This is more than enough for one prayer request each day of the month. You can pray through it on your own, or you can text it out to a friend or the women’s ministry prayer team.
We’ve also included an example prayer for each section. This can help you as inspiration if you are asked to pray during a meeting or before a Bible study. Or, it can be a resource for you during your own prayer time.
We pray that these will be helpful to you as you lift up the women’s ministry of your church in prayer!
Building Godly Friendships and Mentorships
The relationships formed in women’s ministry can be such an important part of encouraging women in Christ. Women find friends as well as mentors in many women’s ministry groups.
Pray through these prayer requests for the relationships in women’s ministry.
- Support from one another
- Inclusion of others, not a “club”
- Mature Christians helping younger Christians
- Ways to connect with each other
- Resolve conflict in healthy ways
- Seeing others with grace
- God-honoring friendships
Dear Lord,
Thank You for the gift of friendship and the support that comes from walking alongside other women in the faith.
Help us to encourage one another with grace and love, including others rather than forming closed circles. Let mature believers guide and uplift younger ones, and may our ministry be full of meaningful connections.
Give us wisdom to handle conflict in ways that reflect You. Let our friendships honor You and reveal Your kindness to those around us.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Growing in Faith Through Bible Study

Raise up faithful leaders, and use every study to reach both new and seasoned believers. Let our planning be covered in prayer, and may every gathering glorify You.
In the precious name of Jesus, Amen.
Making a Gospel Impact Through Women’s Ministry
Many churches make a point of inviting other women to their women’s ministry events outside of the regular church attenders. Pray for the reach of the women’s ministry in your church.
- All ages of women to feel welcome

May we carry a Gospel mindset—loving without condition and serving with humility. Show us how to reach beyond the church walls and reflect Your grace in our communities.
Let our gatherings be a witness of Your love and hope, and may Your message shine clearly through all we do.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
Trusting God for Every Area of Life

Teach us to live with gratitude, even in difficult seasons.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Walking Faithfully with God
While women’s ministry events and studies can be an important part of a woman’s spiritual life, her walk with God extends well beyond a weekly or monthly event. Pray for her day to day Christian walk with these prayer points.

Grow our love for You and for others, and help us stand strong in truth. Guard our hearts from deception and fill us with discernment.
Place godly friends in our lives who encourage our faith, and teach us to trust You in every season. Let our growth be a reflection of Your goodness.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
