One of the most important things the people of God can do for their pastor is to pray for him. We live in a day where the need is for the men of God to stand up and step out for the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
These are desperate times. Our world needs to hear a clear and distinct sound. We need for the message of the Gospel to be sounded loud, clear, and unapolegetically.
As a pastor for almost 30 years I was always aware and appreciative of the prayers of my people. Now as a state missionary and encourager/mentor to pastors I see the need from a different perspective.
Your pastor is not perfect and neither are you. He needs your prayers. When you say, "I am prayer for you," make sure you are faithful to do it. Your overlooking to pray for him is no different than him overlooking a responsibility you think he has.
How can I pray for my pastor? Good question. Below you will find a link that I believe will be helpful in getting you started. You can add to it our make your own, but most importantly PRAY FOR HIM!
