Let Us Pray for Church Leaders
Dear Lord, your word says many things about faithfulness. We pray now for our church leaders that they will continue to be faithful to you and to your church. Help them to always seek your direction in their lives and the life of your church. We pray that they are faithful in all that they do, faithful to their commitments, faithful to their families, faithful to their staff, but most of all we pray that they are always faithful to you. Lord, help them to be faithful to proclaim your name in all the earth. We praise you for the upcoming event that we have to honor them on our campus. May you bless this special day and these whom you have called into your service. Amen.
