Praying for Leaders

DAY 14 OF 14

A Prayer for Servant Leadership:

Lord,

We thank you because you have raised up, anointed and appointed people to serve and lead your church.

What an honour and privilege it is to be entrusted with this responsibility.

Reassured by the knowledge of your abiding presence, may our leaders continue to have the courage to reach out and support one another, to stand firm in what is true, to decrease when others should increase, and to lead with vision and compassion.

Lord, we thank you for your enduring presence and perfect wisdom that illuminates the thoughts, decisions and actions of our leaders, and for your endless patience, compassion and love.

Help our leaders to remain focused on you, to live and lead as humble, grateful, assured, and generous servants.

To live and lead as an example.

To live and lead as faithful followers of Jesus.

As we pray for our leaders, we also pray this prayer for ourselves.

In our relationships with one another, help us to have the same mindset as Jesus who, despite being in very nature God, humbled himself to full humanness. To serve others. Not for personal gain but so that others would know you.

By your grace, may our example, our words, our actions and our reactions point people to you too.

Help us Lord, we pray!

AMEN

Reflection: Are you currently embracing or hesitating in your role as one of God's ambassadors, serving others, and pointing people to Jesus?

Day 13

About this Plan

Praying for Leaders

From Scripture, it is clear that we are to honour, show respect and love for our leaders, and never stop praying. In these days where significant global challenges are impacting the Church, our leaders need our focused, intentional prayer as they lead. For fourteen days, we look to Scripture and pray intentionally for those who lead in our church, each day focusing on a different aspect of leadership.
