Today is Sunday and your Pastor needs prayer. The Enemy does not want him filled with the Spirit and preaching God’s Word. He will face battles today as he gets ready to feed us. The best way to honor your Pastor is to pray for him and encourage him with kind words. Pray for power in his message, for souls to be saved and backslidden Christians to get right with God.
Also, a tip from a dear Pastor’s wife, please do not catch him before church with problems, troubles or criticism. He needs to be free from conflicting thoughts so the Holy Spirit can work through him.
Jeremiah 3:15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding
Your Pastor needs your prayers. Pray he is trusting God for all he says and does. That God fills him with the power of the Holy Spirit. That he has the wisdom and knowledge to communicate God’s Word to the congregation.
Pray that we will hear his message. Pray for lost souls in the church. Many people go to church but do not know Jesus as their Savior.
1 Timothy 5:17 – Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine
Pastors are under attack today in every denomination. They are attacked from within their own church by disgruntled attendees and from without by those who don’t even attend or aren’t members of the church.
Some things you may not know about Pastors. Every Pastor has some of these problems.

70% of pastors battle depression.
7,000 churches close each year.
1,500 pastors quit each month.
10% will retire a pastor.
80% of pastors feel discouraged.
94% of pastors families feel the pressure of ministry.
78% of pastors have no close friends.
90% of pastors report working 55-75 hours per week.
Pray for your Pastor and do something to show your appreciation for him. Write a note, email or text him if you are fortunate enough to have his personal number.
Pastors have burdens that are far above the average Christian. They need to be renewed by the Spirit everyday. Family, church congratulation, administration and many things that are heavy on their hearts, especially at this difficult time in the world.
Your Pastor has to make hard decisions about when to open doors of the church to everyone, should we sing, should we have class, what about the children. I need to protect my family.
Please lift your Pastor in prayer. And really bless him by asking what you can do to help. A kind word or a note might make the difference in his life today.
The coronavirus has caused many problems for Pastors. Each Pastor has many decisions to make that involve not only his family but the people in his congregation.
As the churches begin to open again, it is the Pastors responsibility to keep people safe, give everyone encouragement and most importantly preach the gospel.
Pray for your Pastor today. Tell him or send him a note to be an encouragement to him.
1 Timothy 5:17 – Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
Romans 15:30 – Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in [your] prayers to God for me;
