Pastor Appreciation

 

God has given the church leaders to prepare His people for service (Eph. 4: 11- 13). I appreciate my church pastors because they are not wishy-washy about Biblical truth. Each one boldly and lovingly speaks God's truth, even when the message is unpopular.

 

October is "Pastor Appreciation Month". Throughout the month, be mindful to pray for, encourage, and show gratitude to your church leaders. Please join me as we intercede for pastors:

 

LORD God, thank You for those You assigned to lead our congregations. Forgive us LORD when we neglect to pray for these men and women.  Fill them with Your Spirit and wisdom. Bless them and their families with good health and strength. Give them courage preach the good news of Jesus Christ. May the fruit of the Spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control- be evident in their lives. When weary, please renew them. Protect them and their loved ones from evil. Remind us to show gratitude and honor to Your servants. In the Name of Jesus, amen!

What do you appreciate about your spiritual leaders?
