Prayer for Your Pastor

Prayer for Your Pastor

Father, in the name of the Lord Jesus, I pray and confess that the Spirit of the Lord is upon my pastor, Brother (your pastor’s name here).  The spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge, and the fear of the Lord rest upon him according to Isaiah 11:1-2.
I pray Lord that you give my pastor courage to preach the truth without fear of man.  I pray that he will never be afraid of me and be able to look in my face and tell me the truth whether I like it or not according to II Timothy 4:1-4.
I pray that you will continue to anoint him and qualify him to preach the good news to the meek, poor, wealthy, and afflicted.  Send him Lord to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the physically and spiritually captive, to open the eyes of those who are blinded, and to carry out the ministry of the Lord Jesus according to Isaiah 61:1-2.
I pray and agree with my pastor that no weapon formed against him shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against him in judgement shall be shown to be wrong according to Isaiah 4:17.
I ask you Lord to give pastor (your pastor=s name here) encouragement and strength, to help him stay at the heights of integrity and faithfulness, and to keep preaching the uncompromised Word of God.  Help him Lord to hold fast the form of sound words and be able to commit the leadership principles and truths to other faithful men.
I ask you Lord to bless my pastor and his family with rest, peace, and prosperity.  Guard them Lord with safety in all they do.
I choose life for my pastor, and so I pray for him Lord and I undergird him with a good conversation and a clean attitude.  I know he is anointed to be my pastor; therefore, I put myself in agreement with him and submit to his leadership in the Lord according to Jeremiah 3:15 and Jeremiah 23:3-4.
I pray for my pastor that doors of utterance will be opened unto him and that the Word of God will have free course with others like it has with us so that he may proclaim the mystery of Christ clearly in all places you cause his feet to tread according to Colossians  4:2-3.
Thank you Lord for the wonderful gift you gave me in my pastor.  Help to always receive him and his message properly.
In Jesus name, amen.
