How Can You Pray for Pastors?

As we begin 2024, maybe you want to commit to praying for your pastor and other pastors you know. How can you pray for your pastor during the week and before he preaches? While there are many ways to pray for your pastor, let me suggest three ways to pray for your pastor during the week.

Pray for God to guard his heart. The heart of the person is the seat of emotions. Proverbs 4:23 shows us why it is important to guard your heart, “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flows the springs of life. Pray for the purity of your pastor. Pray that he guards his heart from sin and temptation.

Pray for God to guide his mind. Pray for God to help your pastor make the right decisions during the week in his ministry and personal life. Pray for God to give his wisdom in ministry plans to help make Jesus more disciples.

Pray for God to govern his words. Pastors have many conversations with people during the week. Pray for God to give the words your pastor needs to build up, encourage, strengthen, and teach others in the faith.

As a pastor, thank you for praying for pastors!
