Developing workers is continuously pouring into pastors and church leaders so that they might run the races to earn the prize. We are loving on them, praying for them, and challenging them to truly live a life worthy of the gospel. Prayer is an essential piece to continually build a hedge of protection around our pastors. Lifting them up and doing spiritual warfare with them and for them. Would you consider taking time to pray this prayer for them?
“I thank my God always when I remember you in my prayers, because I hear of your love and of the faith that you have toward the Lord Jesus and for all the saints, and I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective for the full knowledge of every good thing that is in us for the sake of Christ. For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you.”
— Philemon 1:4-7
This beautiful passage from Philemon reminds us of the profound impact our pastors have on our lives and the lives of others in our community. Their unwavering faith, boundless love, and dedication to sharing the word of God are sources of inspiration and comfort to us all.
