One Prayer From Each State For Our Nation For Fifty Days: Day 17
 
 
Steve Pearson,  Pastor of Church of the Savior in Nicholasville, Kentucky:
 
 
 
“Hello, I’m Steve Pearson from Lexington, Kentucky, and today we’re going to pray for pastors in our country. So let’s pray.
 
Heavenly Father, we know on Jesus’ last night on Earth, that He quoted Zechariah 13:7, which says, if you strike the shepherd, the sheep will scatter. Lord, we know You love Your pastors and Your shepherds, and the enemy hates them.
 
We know as a pastor goes, a church goes; and as a church goes, a city goes; and as a city goes, a nation goes. So, Lord, we pray for pastors today. Help them. We ask that You’d give them favor. We ask that You would help them to grow in leadership skill. Protect their health, their marriages, their grandchildren. And Lord, we pray that You would give them a spirit of wisdom.
 
Father, keep their hearts pure. Give them margin and rest. Keep them from pride and being offended, Lord. And I pray that their sermons and their messages would come only from Scripture. Anoint them. Bless their study time and use the pulpit to bring revival.
 
Lord, I pray for vision for pastors in our country. And we pray, Lord, that pastors would come together in every state and every city for the cause of Christ and for Biblical unity.
 
And, Lord, I last pray that there would be a whole new generation of pastors and shepherds that You would raise up to tend Your flock in the precious Name of Jesus. Amen.”
