God, Please make me head and not tail.

 Amen. This is a powerful prayer rooted in the promises God gave to His people. It is a plea for divine positioning, favor, and influence according to His will.

The language comes from Deuteronomy, where God outlines the blessings of obedience:

"The Lord will make you the head, and not the tail; you shall be only at the top, and not at the bottom, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God..."

— Deuteronomy 28:13

This is not merely a request for personal success, but for the fulfillment of God's purpose for your life—to be in a position of positive influence, leadership, and blessing, so that you may be a greater blessing to others and a testament to His faithfulness.

A Prayer to Be the Head and Not the Tail

Heavenly Father,

You are the Sovereign God who raises one up and sets another down. Your Word contains a promise for Your children: that we can be the head and not the tail, above and not beneath.

I come before You today, Lord, and I ask for the fulfillment of this promise in my life, according to Your perfect will.

· Position me for Your purpose. Place me in roles, relationships, and situations where I can exert godly influence and lead others toward Your light.

· Grant me divine wisdom and discernment so that my leadership and decisions are guided by Your Spirit and aligned with Your Word.

· Bless the work of my hands with excellence and fruitfulness, so that my success is a testimony of Your goodness.

· Guard my heart from pride. Remind me constantly that any position I hold is a stewardship from You, and it is for Your glory, not my own.

· Make me a blessing. As You elevate me, let me use that platform to lift others up, to provide for the needy, and to advance Your Kingdom on earth.

I declare that I will walk in obedience to Your voice and cling to Your commandments. I submit my ambitions to Your lordship.

In the mighty name of Jesus, the ultimate Head of all things, I pray. Amen.

Key Principles for This Prayer

1. It's About Stewardship, Not Just Status: Being the "head" is about responsibility and influence for God's kingdom, not just personal privilege.

2. Obedience is the Pathway: This blessing is coupled with a heart that seeks to obey God (Deuteronomy 28:1-2). It flows from a relationship with Him.

3. God's Definition of Success: God's idea of being the "head" may look different from the world's. It is rooted in servanthood (Mark 10:43-44) and eternal impact.

4. Trust His Timing and Method: God may elevate you in ways you don't expect. Trust that His plan to position you is perfect.

A Declaration of Faith

· I am blessed in the city and blessed in the field. (Deuteronomy 28:3)

· God is opening His good treasury to me. (Deuteronomy 28:12)
