Just a simple list of the top 10 things you should pray for your church leaders for:
- Integrity: That God would help them walk close to Him every moment of every day.
- Increased Faith: That their vision for God’s will in the church would be God-sized.
- Family: That God would protect his family, and that he would lead his family well. Preachers’ wives and kids have it tough.
- Influence: We have a message that needs to be heard.
- Wisdom: To understand the Word, and the people to whom they must communicate it.
- Creativity: Pastors are communicating a message that is thousands of years old to a people group that is one generation old. The message is not the problem, our lack of communicating creatively and compelling often is.
- Leadership: Whoever is greatest must be servant to all. Pastors serve by leading and lead by serving.
- Compassion: Help him keep a soft heart in the face of abrasive and abusive people.
- Passion: That your pastor’s hunger to experience God working never wains.
- Rest: That your pastor can stay sharp and passionate by having the appropriate sleep and down time.
