Various Scripture - Praying for Pastors

I woke up early praying for our church family and the Lord directed my prayers to pastors who will be going into the pulpit today.  He gave me some specific situations to pray for…


  • The pastor who is very discouraged with his life.  The Lord told me this one needs to get his own life in order before his church will thrive.
  • The pastor who is weary with doing everything.  The Lord told me he needs to remember Galatians 6:9.  And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
  • The pastor whose congregation will be open to the Holy Spirit and the church will be on fire for the Lord.  The Lord told me this pastor needs to be ready for what is to come.
  • The pastor who will walk into their church and be hit by fiery darts from the enemy.  The Lord said this pastor needs to have on the full armor of God found in Ephesians 6.
  • The pastor who needs to have a positive spirit.  The Lord said this pastor needs to remember James 1:2-3.  Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
The Lord also told me to pray for the pastors who have forgotten the call on their life.  Many are seeing their call more as a job instead of their ministry.  

Dear Jesus,
Thank You for this time of prayer for pastors this morning.  I pray as each pastor goes into the pulpit they will feel the anointing of the Holy Spirit upon them.  I pray for each situation you brought to me today.  Lord, remind each pastor of their call.  Put someone before them today that will remind them of why they do what they are doing.  Encourage their hearts.  Give words of encouragement from their people.  Thank You Father for the privilege to pray for my pastor friends and their families.  Thank You Lord for being My Pastor.  Amen.




Praying For Your Pastor is very important. They are serving God and the attacks of the enemy are non ceasing. They must be covered in prayer on a daily basis.
This prayer can be personalized by saying his name instead of the word pastor. If you have areverend or father as they do in the Catholic church, then you can use those words instead ofpastor. Or you can prayer for all pastors.
