PRAYER FOR OUR PASTOR

Lord, bless our precious Pastor as he does Your work today,
And keep him pure and righteous as he walks the narrow way.

Increase his understanding of the truths You’d have him speak,
And make him strong and fearless in the places he is weak.

Lord, give him time to study, and to read your Word, and pray,
Without the small distractions that can eat away the day.

Help him to sow with confidence, and nourish every seed,
As lovingly the Spirit speaks to hearts that have a need.

Please give him boldness to proclaim the message of Your grace.
While firmly centered in Your will, each doubt and fear erase.

And may he honor his dear wife with sweet and loving care,
To keep alive and vibrant all the tender love they share.

Dear Lord, continue using him, and bless his ministry,
With trophies of Your love that last throughout eternity.
