Praying for Your Pastor
Hello everyone,
I am selfish in my note to you today. I am going to ask you to pray specifically for your pastor. I am encouraged and blessed by all the wonderful things that the church family has done for me and is planning to do for me for Pastor’s Appreciation month. The excitement of what God is doing is amazing! I believe we could see revival in each one of our families and our church if we will let God do it.
The Prophet Habakkuk says “I will climb into my watchtower” He is saying that he was going to get alone with God. I am so thankful for my prayer teams that pray throughout the week. On Friday, being able to pray specifically for the needs of many of you. We all need that watchtower, a place (anyplace) that you can get alone with God. You need a place that is quiet, a place where you will habitually go every time you meet with God. Make it special and make your prayers specific. The Bible says “Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.”
There is nothing more important to me than hearing from God about what He has for my life, my family, and the church that He has allowed me to pastor. If I am to lead this body of believers, I need to hear from God daily. Please keep me in your prayers daily as we seek God’s guidance for the church. Please find that quiet place to ask God what He has for each one of you, and while you are there, please lift up your pastor and the leaders that we might hear from Him and that He would guide us daily. God desires to meet with us, He wants to guide us and use for His honor and His glory. The focus must shift from us to God, and we will see Him do some amazing things! Wow! Would that be a 21st century Pentecost Church! Grant and hear our prayers. Amen.
“I will climb up into my watchtower…” Habakkuk 2:1 (NLT)
When I have my dialogues with The Lord (prayer) I lift you, Becky, and my former Pastors up to the Lord that, daily, he provides the strength, wisdom, perseverance, and knowledge to not only perform, but to develop the message He feels needs to be imparted to us for our growth as congregations, but also to be leading forces within the communities in bringing outsiders into The Kingdom.

Thank You Josh!
I feel the prayers of God’s people and I feel loved by the people of God. It makes my day fulfilling and encouraging during those tough and challenging times.

We’re called to pray for each other regularly, but certainly we should lift up our leadership daily!
I’ll be praying for you, Pastor. The rest of us can’t even begin to understand exactly what kinds of situations that you face each week; but we can lift you to the One who, not only understands each situation, but who has the power to deliver you from them victoriously!
