A Prayer for Those Preparing to Attend the 2026 Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting in Orlando
Heavenly Father,
As pastors, church leaders, messengers, and guests prepare to travel to Orlando for the Annual Meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention, we come before You with grateful hearts. Thank You for the privilege of partnering together for the sake of the Gospel and for the opportunity to gather with brothers and sisters from across our nation and beyond.
Lord, we pray for safe travel for all who will be attending. Grant protection on the roads, in the air, and throughout every journey. Give strength to those who are weary, wisdom to those making plans, and peace to families who remain at home.
We pray that this meeting would be marked by humility, unity, and a sincere desire to honor Christ above all else. Guard their hearts from pride, division, and distraction. Help every conversation, every report, every vote, and every decision to be guided by Your Word and empowered by Your Spirit.
Father, bless the leaders who will speak, preach, and lead. Give them clarity, courage, and conviction. May the preaching of Your Word stir hearts toward greater faithfulness, deeper holiness, and renewed passion for the Great Commission.
We pray for our missionaries serving through the International Mission Board and the North American Mission Board. May this gathering strengthen our commitment to sending, supporting, and praying for those who carry the Gospel to the nations and to our neighbors.
Lord, renew weary pastors, encourage church leaders, and provide meaningful fellowship among those who labor in Your Kingdom. May new friendships be formed, old friendships be strengthened, and every attendee leave refreshed in spirit and recommitted to Your mission.
As we gather, remind us that Your Kingdom is greater than any convention, committee, or ministry assignment. Fix our eyes on Jesus Christ, the Head of the Church and the hope of the world.
May all that is done bring glory to Your name and advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
In His powerful and precious name we pray,
Amen.
