Praying for LeadersПример
A Prayer for Being:
Father God,
Your word reminds us that apart from you, we can do nothing.
You are the source of all that we need.
Father, forgive our misplaced attempts to run at life without stopping, when we fill our days with good works and leave no space to be with you.
Help us all to slow down to your pace, to remain rooted in you, to become aware of your constant presence.
Help us to develop rhythms that centre our lives on Jesus, deeply connect us to people, bring joy and most of all bring glory to you.
Leading your church is demanding. Demanding time and energy.
We pray that our leaders will follow the example of Jesus. That they will make time to stop. To be with you. To be refreshed and replenished in your presence. To receive vision and guidance, courage and strength. To allow the transforming work of your Holy Spirit to take place.
May they be led more by Jesus,
To live and lead more like Jesus
So that others will be led to Jesus.
AMEN
Reflection and Action: Thinking about your own life, how are you remaining in Christ?
Thinking about the leaders in your life - can you do anything practical to help free up time and space for them to be with Jesus?

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.
