Father God, we pray for those whom You have called to lead the church. We thank you for them. We thank you for calling them to this task, to be shepherds of the flock. Thank you for their obedience and faith to accept Your calling.
We pray that you will guide them and equip them. As they wait on you, may you speak to them through Your Word, guided by the Holy Spirit.
Help our leaders to be godly men and women whose lives reflect the character and teachings of Christ himself.
Give them wisdom to understand the times we live in and the direction we should go.
Give them the burning desire to go deep into Your Holy Word.
Give them the required gifts to lead us in a godly manner.
Give them the passion to constantly seek Your face in prayer and worship.
Give them the commitment to seek to live holy lives before You.
Give them the courage to make difficult decisions as directed by You.
Deepen their trust in you. Daily breathe Your life into them in a fresh way.
Renew us, too, Lord! Give us the spiritual discernment and humility to pray that our lives will reflect the very same things we ask of our leaders.
In Jesus’ name, we pray.
Amen.
