Dear reader, thank you for being here to seek prayers for my pastor, you are selfless. The world is changing and becoming more independent and selfish. True pastors are still among the few who selflessly care for others. Yet, they, too, need a bit of care. It is truly an epic feat. Heaven is set to hear your voice and bless you as you do.
The job of a pastor can be very challenging. They may forget themselves when serving the course of God and his church. They find caring for others more fulfilling than caring for themselves, often to the detriment of themselves and their family members.
Pastors get involved with endless meetings and counselling sessions. They coordinate and attend programmes for the blessing and spiritual growth of the church around them. If caution is not taken and measures are put in place, this can adversely affect their families. Pastor’s wives and children feel neglected all the time. Some will even prefer to be church members to be wives and children because of the attention they have to deal with. It is essential to pray for our pastor’s family so that they do not become easy prey to the enemy.
Pastors also forget to care for their physical and mental health. The strength of their finances is usually greatly determined by the church they serve. Some pastors get so busy that their spiritual and personal development suffers in the presence of other church and ministerial duties. They need someone to stand in the gap and pray for them all the time.
Dear spiritual reader, yes you are spiritual! Taking prayers for my pastor shows that you are Christlike. This post contains prayers that concern your pastor’s personal life and family. There is also a section that caters for special occasion prayers for my pastor. The takeaway is scriptures for prayers for my pastor. Enjoy and be blessed.
