My church leaders

Bible references
– 1 Timothy 2:1-2
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.

– Ephesians 6:18
Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,

– Hebrews 13:17
Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.

– James 5:14
Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.

My God,
You are the ultimate leader and authority over all things. I come before You today to lift up my church leaders to You. I pray that You would grant them wisdom, discernment, and humility as they lead and guide our congregation. May they be filled with Your Spirit and have a deep desire to seek Your will in all their decisions. Help them to be faithful stewards of the responsibilities You have given them, and may they always seek to honor and glorify You in all they do.

I ask that You would surround them with a community of support and encouragement, and that they would be strengthened and upheld by Your grace. Protect them from the snares and temptations of the enemy, and help them to stand firm in their faith. Give them boldness and courage to speak truth and love, and may they be instruments of healing, reconciliation, and hope in our church and community.

I also pray for their personal lives and families, that they would be filled with Your peace and joy, and that they would have strength and endurance to fulfill their roles with grace and perseverance. Thank You for the gift of their leadership, and I pray that You would continue to bless and equip them for the work You have called them to do.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
