How to Pray for Your Pastor on Saturday. 🙏🏻
Sunday doesn’t start on Sunday. It starts long before that.
If you want to strengthen your church, start by strengthening your pastor in prayer.
1. Pray for his thoughts.
Before he ever steps into the pulpit, his mind is full…people, problems, pressures, and preparation. Ask God to give him clarity, focus, and peace.
2. Pray for power.
The power is not in the man…it is in the Word he preaches. Pray that he handles it faithfully and that the Spirit empowers it mightily.
3. Pray for his health.
Clear thinking. Strong voice. Physical stamina. Preaching takes more out of a man than most people realize.
4. Pray for his encouragement.
These are not easy days to shepherd any flock. Pray that God strengthens his heart and reminds him that his labor is not in vain.
5. Pray for his message.
He has studied. He has prayed. He has prepared. Ask God to let the Word land where it needs to land — and to produce lasting fruit.
6. Pray for his family.
A distracted home makes a distracted shepherd. Cover his wife. Cover his children. Their strength is tied to his.
Take a few minutes today and pray intentionally.
Churches rise and fall on many things…but they are strengthened by praying people.
I believe in the power of prayer.
It makes a difference.
