Thank you for your prayer request. Praise God for your heart to serve and lead in your church. We stand with you in prayer, seeking God's will and the courage to lead as you serve.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our brother in Christ who has been called to lead in his church next Saturday. We ask, Lord, that You would fill him with the courage and boldness he needs, as You did with the early disciples. In Acts 4:29 WEB, they prayed, "Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness."
We pray You'd give him wisdom in his words, discernment in his actions, and strength to stand firm in Your truth. You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. In 2 Timothy 1:7 WEB, "For God didn’t give us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, love, and self-control."
We praise you, Lord, for the work You are doing in and through our brother. We ask that You would be glorified in all he does, and that his leadership would be a blessing to Your church.
We pray this all in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Be encouraged, dear brother, as you step out in faith to lead. Remember God's promise in Joshua 1:9 WEB, "Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go."
Stand firm in the faith, and be blessed as you serve Him.
