Prayer Starter - Friday, September 12, 2025 - Pray for Farmers and Ranchers
Hello:
Last week my friend and minister asked for us to pray for those in the agricultural field. It took me no time, to reflect and say, "Amen!" to that. Love our farmers and ranchers.
The Bible says, "The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops." 2Timothy 2:6
The Psalmist wrote, "You cause the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food from the earth." Psalm 104:14
Farming and ranching are more than just jobs—they are callings. They require grit, patience, and faith. Each seed planted and each calf born is an act of trust, because farmers and ranchers depend on God to provide rain, sun, and growth.
In many ways, the work of the farmer mirrors God’s work in our lives. Just as they prepare the soil, God prepares our hearts. Just as they patiently wait for harvest, God patiently waits for us to grow in faith. And just as farmers care for their animals, the Lord is our Good Shepherd, guiding and protecting us.
On the hard days—when the rains don’t come, or when drought, storms, or rising costs make life difficult—remember that God sees their labor. Their work feeds communities and sustains lives. Their faithfulness is part of God’s bigger story of provision.
Take time today to thank God for those working the land or tending livestock, and ask Him to bless their efforts, their families, and the generations to come.
Heavenly Father,
We thank You for farmers and ranchers—the caretakers of Your creation. You have given them strength to work the land and tend the animals, wisdom to plant and harvest, and courage to face uncertain seasons.
Lord, we ask for Your blessing on their crops, their herds, their equipment, and their hands. Send rain when it is needed, sunshine when it is good, and peace when worry threatens to overwhelm them.
Guard their families, their homes, and their health. Renew their spirits when they are weary and remind them that their work matters to You. May they find joy in the work they do and see the fruit of their labor in due time.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
