Pray for Your Pastors

The image above gives you a pretty good idea of what most pastors feel like on Monday mornings - either weary or discouraged (or both).  So take a moment right now to stop and pray for your pastor(s) on this Monday morning (if you are a pastor, pray this for your friends and colleagues in ministry).  Pray that today:
  1. They would have quality time in the Word and prayer
  2. They would be refreshed and renewed by God 
  3. They would be assured and affirmed in their calling 
  4. They would be reminded of the joys and privileges of pastoral ministry 
  5. They would have the time to read something that will feed their minds and nurture their souls
  6. They would have a conversation that is edifying and encouraging 
  7. They would enjoy the evening with their families 
Now, one more thing: send them an email or a text message (or whatever means of communication you prefer) to encourage them, thank them, and let them know you are praying for them this morning.
