Pray for our leaders and each other. Be bold as we pray the word.

Let’s pray for all of our Pastors and all those who love the Lord. 

Precious Heavenly Father,

Thank you for your sweet sleep and your never ending love that is continually given to us in so many ways. Reach into our hearts so we can bless you Father in ways of obedience, drawing closer to you, studying more about your character, desires and have our hearts to be pleasing to your will. We thank you for continually feeding us your counsel, your purpose and your guidance every morning. Thank you for our continual transformation. Thank you Father.

This morning we offer up our Pastors heart to you. We give you thanks for his heart of patience and deep love for you and the flock. We thank you for his humble transparency and love for your word. We thank you for using him to win many souls through the bold faith and knowledge that you have given to him. We thank you for giving him a deep understanding even through his trials as he watches your Holy Spirit move in his life. He sees your hand upon his family’s life.  We thank you for the discernment you have given to him and the keen determination to follow through on the assignments and visions that lay upon the table of his heart. 

O Holy Spirit we depend upon you in every way. We choose to fear you  because you have taught us that this is life and not in man. We refuse to be held captive in anyway and break all lies that would try to hinder us or hold us down. We breathe in your word this morning because your word says, “where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”  We boldly choose freedom in Christ. We choose His strength over ours and we are filled with the Joy of your Holy Spirit because, Your word declares The Kingdom of God is not a matter of eating or drinking but one of righteousness, peace and joy in your Holy Spirit. We rejoice over this! 

We declare from our hearts that we have the righteousness of Christ by his shed blood and we’ve set free. We declare we have been given a peace the world can never understand, because your Spirit has told us to come to Jesus when we are weary and we receive counsel and rest. You pick us up, time and again and we are assured; all of our battles are yours, Father. We can declare we are filled up and overflowing with joy in the Holy Spirit.  We can walk, leap up and praise You because of the great love and faith you have given to us. Truly You O Father have given us a new heart. One that is tender and able to receive your love. You have given us favor with times of bliss upon your earth. Our will has become your will, and we are one with our Father.  Thank you for teaching us, for keeping your hand and eyes upon us because of your mercy and such great love.  Thank you for keeping our minds sound and sharp and with boldness to declare you are Lord! Hallelujah!  In Jesus we request, confess and declare. Amen.
