Kingdom Prayer Focus

Lord God, we have been challenged this week by Pastor Jeremy to look at how we treat our pastors, and whether we encourage them…. or drain the life out of them. Father, we want to be that church body that encourages our pastors!!! So, forgive us when all we do is complain or insist that they change the way things are done. Remind each one of us that Pastor Steve is our shepherd who is called by You to lead us. Show us how to be a congregation that supports, prays for, and lifts up our pastors. As we encounter others who have not met them or graced our doors, may they sense our love and respect for our pastors, through our words and attitude. In the Holy Name of Jesus, amen.
