PRAYING FOR PASTORS

 

Jean Oathout shares with us:
 There are two lists of prayers that I [Jean] use daily in praying for my pastors. 

One is from Revive Our Hearts ministry, entitled 31 Days of Praying for Your Pastor. 


I use their pamphlet from years ago, but the listing of prayers can be obtained through their web sight www.ReviveOurHeartrs.com  


The one for Day 4 is the one I’m sharing today:



      “Pray that your pastor will counsel and teach with discernment through the wise use of Scripture and faith in God’s power to work. Pray that he will be protected from the effects of sinful or negative attitudes that he encounters as he counselsMal. 2:7; James 1:5-6; John 17:15

     The other one that I’ve used for years, is SCRIPTURE-BASED PRAYERS to pray for your pastor” by Terry Teykl, and was published in the Pray! Magazine (issue #2), and can be found at www.praymag.com .

 I have chosen Day 7 to share today:


      “I pray that the eyes of my pastor may be enlightened to know the hope to which we are called and know the riches of our glorious inheritance in the saints. Let my pastor know the incomparable great power which is in us who believe Eph. 1:18,19.



Let _________ see the full revelation of Jesus Christ (Gal. 1:12). Place in him/her a desire to know Christ and the power of His resurrection (Phil.3:10).”


      Saying these prayers in first person, makes them our prayers. 

May God bless you, as you are involved with the move of the Holy Spirit in your church, through daily praying for your pastor and leaders.

OUR DAILY BREAD

"For answered prayer we thank You, Lord,
We know You're always there
To hear us when we call on You;
We're grateful for Your care. -Branon

You'll never get a busy signal on the prayer line to heaven."

"We give the help that pastors need
For burdens they must bear
When we entrust them to the Lord
And hold them up in prayer. -D. De Haan

Leaders are their best when people get behind them."
