When you feel like you’re in a rut, and prayers seem to go unanswered, it’s hard to keep your faith. But don’t give up! God is always willing to help us. We have only to ask. With a little faith and God’s help, you can break through any obstacle in your life.
There are many examples of prayers for breakthroughs, but none of them are as powerful as the one directly from your heart. Wherever you feel stuck in a rut, that could be God speaking to you, giving you a subtle nudge to make new changes in that area. Here are some great guiding prayers for breakthroughs you can use in your personal time with God.
Prayers for Breakthrough
Short Prayer for Breakthrough
If you feel like you’re “stuck” in life, or need to get out of a rut, asking God for a breakthrough can have a positive impact. Ask him to give you clarity and see yourself in a new light. This prayer is a great example.
Father God,
I am calling upon your holy name to grant me a breakthrough in my life.
Help me to see the world around me with clarity and peace.
Open my heart and give me to resolve to make changes in my life,
And do what I need to do in order to be your humble servant.
Amen.

Prayer for Emotional Breakthrough
You might find yourself at odds with your past trauma and feel it’s holding you back. Or, you may feel like a loved one just won’t realize what they need to progress your relationship with them. In either of these times, we can turn to God for help.
Dear Jesus,
I’ve invited you to live in my heart before, Lord, but I am inviting you again.
Give me the strength and courage to realize what I need to do.
Help me to live up to my full potential as your child.
Live in those around me and embolden their hearts, Lord.
Help us all to realize your will and what is holding us back.
Amen.

Prayer for Spiritual Breakthrough
Sometimes, it can feel like your worldly and spiritual life is heading in two different directions. If you feel guilt pressing on your heart, this could be the Lord gently nudging you to get back on the right path. This prayer is a great way to reconnect with God and break through spiritually.
Lord Jesus,
I have strayed from the path and walked away from the light.
Please help remind me of your goodness and grace.
Help me to surround myself with people that love you and know your name.
Keep me on the right path to do great things in your name.
Help me to have a spiritual breakthrough so that I may be a better servant of the highest God.
Amen.
Micah 2:13
He who opens the breach goes up before them; they break through and pass the gate, going out by it. Their king passes on before them, the Lord at their head.
Prayer for Financial Breakthrough
Living paycheck to paycheck is a difficult reality many face, and these times of stress can deeply weigh on the heart. God listens to our needs and promises to take care of us. Praying for a financial breakthrough can help you put your trust in God and manifest a better reality for yourself and your family.
Father God, Gentle Shepherd,
I know your plans for me, Lord: plans to prosper and not harm me.
I know you are the shepherd that leads me to still waters.
I know that you have not forgotten or forsaken me. You remember my needs and protect me with your gentle hand.
I pray for a financial breakthrough to bless our home and lead us to stability and peace.
I know anything is possible in your name, Lord.
Allow me to be your servant and do wonderful things in your name.
I surrender myself to your will so that others may know the good news you bring.
Amen.

Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.
Prayer for Breakthrough at Home
Disagreements at home can quickly disrupt a family’s bond and unity. A family that prays together doesn’t necessarily have to be perfect. It’s normal to enter a period of dissonance at home, even if your family regularly attends church. Turning to God and acknowledging the situation alone will help facilitate a breakthrough in your home.
Dear Jesus,
Thank you for the wonderful gift of this beautiful family.
Thank you for the souls you have brought together, the souls you knit together in your image.
Help us to see through each other’s eyes and put ourselves in each other’s shoes.
Guard our tongues and hearts, and let us only speak of your love.
Help us to come together and have a spiritual and emotional breakthrough.
Through you, God, all things are possible.
Amen.
Ephesians 6:12
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
Prayer for Breakthrough at Work
Challenges at work can be disheartening to the spirit. They often follow us home and create an environment of negativity that dwells within. Prayers for a breakthrough at work can help facilitate the changes needed to reach new heights. Perhaps you’re looking to move forward in your career with a new promotion or looking for your next opportunity. Whatever you need, God sees that need and promises to reward us.
Father,
Walk with me every step of the way, from home to work and back again.
Help me to be a shining lantern of your light no matter the circumstance.
Please help me reach new heights in my career to better serve you.
Let me have a breakthrough that will transform my work.
Help me to be a better friend, colleague, and partner to all those who cross my path,
So that they may see what it means to be loved by you.
Amen.
Isaiah 43:19
Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
4. A Prayer for Peace of Mind
Psalm 100:3
Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Sometimes, the breakthroughs we need can be opportunities, opening new doors, or gaining the power to close them. God hears the desires of our hearts and can manifest great changes if we turn to Him.
These prayers for a breakthrough are great guides to help make this change. Remember to turn and listen because the changes we need to make may not be what we expect.
Daniel 12:10
Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined, but the wicked shall act wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but those who are wise shall understand.
