Father, I lift up to You, the body of Christ, and the various churches we attend & all the pastors of these churches, asking that You keep them in your truth, guide them & inspire them; protect them from all false teaching and give them boldness to always speak your truth in love. I ask that You would fill them with the knowledge of Your will through all spiritual wisdom & understanding in order that they may live a life worthy of You & may please You in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, & being strengthened with all power according to Your glorious might.
Please defend all of them from all error, sin & evil, & Keep them from all false teaching,
Lord, I also ask that You would be a shield around each of them, & each of their families, preventing Satan, his demons, and his children from interfering in their lives and ministries, & from causing strife and division in their churches & lives. Please also protect them all from the evil plans & desires of others & from unhealthy or dangerous situations. Help them each continue to grow in Christ and to grow the members of their congregations up in Christ. Thank You Father!
I pray that You would enable them to preach with clarity making it easy for their congregations to understand your Word, and with passion, causing their congregants hearts to be set on fire in love for You. I pray that many would come to Christ and enter His Kingdom because of each of them and that through their teaching, many would be prepared for the coming of our Lord to catch us up into the air with Him.
Please strengthen them, encourage them, and refresh them. Cause them to preach and teach only Your Truth & to never waver from it.
Please also be their provision so they can give to others in Your Name. Multiply all that they have so they never run out and they're able to provide freely and with great joy, for the needs and wants of all who come to them.
For the body of Christ I would ask that you would grant each of us a heart of love and passion for You and Your Word, and a great, overwhelming longing within each of us to always desire an ever closer, more personal relationship with You, and a greater understanding of Your Word so that we can all live lives worthy of Your calling.
I ask all of this that my Lord Jesus would receive the praise, honor and glory due His Awesome Name. It's in His Name I pray. Amen
Colossians 1:9–12
