You made it. All that hard work has finally paid off. Now you can relax and enjoy your days until it is time to enter God’s magnificent kingdom. I’m sure it will be an interesting transition, and I’m sure God will be there to help you along. Here are a few prayers to start off your retirement.
Retirement Prayer
Lord, I confide in you because you understand the situation I am going through. It is going to be a change going from giving so much time to my job to having all of that time to myself. Forgive me if I have hurt any of those I’ve worked with over the years. Absolve me of my transgressions against my brothers and sisters, and for the other times I have fallen short of your glory.
Thank you for giving me this job so I was able to support myself and my family. Bless and watch over all of those I will leave behind at the workplace. I am grateful for all of the individuals I have met over the years. They have taught me quite a few lessons.
Lord Jesus, as I proceed to retirement my heart is filled with gratitude because I know it was you that helped me get to this point. I move into retirement with caution, but I know you will be there watching me.
Give me the will and understanding to continue your message now that I have more time. I need to use this time to help others. Let my actions be the living testimony of your work. Bless me with good health, inner peace, and happiness.
Amen.

Prayer for Retirement
Heavenly Father,
As I approach the end of my working days, I come to you in prayer, seeking your financial guidance and blessing for my retirement. You have been with me throughout my career, and I am grateful for your provision and care.
Remain with me as I navigate this new part of my life. It’s time for a different set of experiences with friends and family. May I use this time to serve and bless others in new and meaningful ways while growing closer to you.
Help watch over me so I can have the peace and security needed in my retirement years. May I be a wise steward of the resources you have given me, and use them to bring joy and blessings to others.
I need to continue to have purpose so please provide me with opportunities to do good. I have a deep sense of joy accompanied with satisfaction knowing that I have lived a life that honors you.
Thank you for your love and care, Lord. I trust in your promise to be with me always, and to provide with the means to care for my needs.
Amen.
