Being a PK (Pastor's Kid) I always think about the leadership. And I had to say a quick prayer for some of the leaders of the churches I was reading about. Then I said a prayer over my own leader asking God to strengthen him as well.
God has provided us leaders to watch over our souls and guide us in the faith. They are human beings just like us, however. They are subject to temptation, they have to deal with sin, and they have inward struggles just like we do.
You know how difficult it can be just keeping yourself in check. Imagine if you had to watch over a whole church! Our leaders are truly a gift from God. We, as their followers, should make sure that we are keeping them covered in prayer and doing what we can to make their job easy.
Too many leaders fall prey to the enticement of the enemy. Pride, fame, greed, and sin snare up too many leaders who could not stand strong. And the enemy loves to exploit their downfall.
There are countless others who are working diligently, day in and day out, doing their job in an excellent manner and staying true to the Word of God.
I pray that you are part of a ministry that is led by one of God's men/women of integrity. If you are, make sure you are consistently covering them in prayer. Pray that they remain strong in their calling. Pray that sin does not enter into their lives. Pray that they keep in constant communication with the Lord. Pray that they are bold enough to do what God is asking of them.
Even Jesus needed the prayers of the disciples when He was about to go to the cross. You don't know what your leader has to face or what is challenging them right now. The Holy Spirit does know. And your prayers can make a difference.
Verse of the Day: And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. Jeremiah 3:15
