While opening prayers are used to invite God into a meeting whether in the workplace or in the church, closing prayer is often used to thank God for the meeting, how it went, and to make a stamp of final achievement on the meeting. Yes, there have been discussions, deliberations, and sometimes strategy outlines, a closing prayer comes to stamp it all with thanksgiving.
And for a church service meeting whether a bible study, prayer meeting, Holy Ghost meeting, etc it is not much different but it is mainly to thank God and to stamp the blessings so that it can be permanent for everyone that has been blessed in the meeting. Notice that in the two categories, there is thanksgiving, that is because it is very important. We shall be raising closing prayers in these categories respectively.
Closing Prayer for Discussion
- Thank you, Lord, for the peace that has reigned in this discussion and the result that we have been able to achieve so far. Thank you our Lord and God for having your way in this discussion. Father, we say thank you for this grace in Jesus’ name.
- Father in Jesus’ name, we want to thank you for this meeting and the progress we have made so far. Thank you, God, that it is not a mere gathering and a waste of time. Thank you for everything that you have used to bring us this far in Jesus’ name.
- Father, we appreciate you for the grace you granted us in this meeting. Thank you for the wisdom with which this meeting has been piloted. Without wisdom, we couldn’t have achieved anything, and we know that it is you who granted us wisdom. Thank you Jesus for the grace.
- Father, we pray that as we have highlighted in the discussion held in the meeting, grant us the will and power to follow through with the steps and processes we have agreed on in Jesus’ name. Let it not be just a mere plan without action to bring them forth in Jesus’ name.
Closing Prayer Points for Bible Study

- Father, let there be an expansion of your word beyond the teaching in the study in Jesus’ name. Jesus, by yourself, please expand the word in our hearts and let us feel the word just as a man feels the cloth he wears in Jesus’ name. Beyond the explanation in the study, let the word become real to us in Jesus’ name.

- Father, we pray that you help us to be sensitive as we go home so that the devil will not steal away our blessings in Jesus’ name. Help us to be spiritually sensitive and discerning in Jesus’ name. Whatever the demons may try to make us lose our blessings, let it not prosper in Jesus’ name.
- Father, let there be an encounter even in our homes as we go home, let the workings of the Holy Spirit continue even in our dreams in Jesus’ name. Let the encounter go beyond here in Jesus’ name.

With these prayers, we can close any meeting irrespective of the category it falls into. Just flow with the category. You may as well close a meeting with prayers as you are led based on the emphasis of the Holy Spirit at that point in time.
