God, You are Our Father and Ever Present Help, Deut 4:7, Ps 46:1, Isa 41:10 -- Thank you for the message of The LORD's ANOINTED crucified for our sins, Gal 2:20.

Protect them all from sin, Zeph 3:13, 1 Cor 8:1, temptation, Lk 11:4, evil people, imposters, 2 Thes 3:2, 2 Tim 3:5, 2 Tim 3:13, Tit 1:16, and the evil one, Matt 6:13, John 17:15, who loves "lack of knowledge," Hos 4:6, Amos 8:11.

We join you in this faithful and fervent intercession and we say amen to these petitions before our Father.

We agree together for our pastors and preachers that they would seek God first in prayer and daily devotion, in preparation and intercession for the congregation, in diligent study of the Word, in godly lifestyle and in sound teaching. The Scripture says, Give attention to reading, to exhortation, to teaching in 1 Tim 4:13 and Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth in 2 Tim 2:15. We pray the Lord would strengthen the hands of those who labor in the Word, that they would preach the word with urgency in season and out of season, reproving, rebuking, and exhorting with all patience and teaching as in 2 Tim 4:2, and that their lives would adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in Titus 2:10, whether in the pulpit, visiting families, or in house churches.

We also lift up every family, every member and every visitor, that the Father Himself would draw them as Jesus said, No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him in John 6:44. We pray they would not forsake the assembling of ourselves together as the custom of some is in Heb 10:25, but would be present eagerly for services, Bible study, corporate prayer, fellowship and outreach, continuing steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and prayer in Acts 2:42. We ask that they would receive the implanted word with humility which is able to save souls in James 1:21, not merely as the word of men but as revelation of Messiah by our Father in heaven, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven in Matt 16:17.

We pray for true freedom to worship the Father in spirit and truth in John 4:24, with the anointing from the Holy One and the Helper who will teach you all things in John 14:26 and 1 John 2:20. We ask for hunger for the pure milk of the Word that you may grow thereby in 1 Pet 2:2, and for the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him in Eph 1:17, that He would open their minds to understand the Scriptures in Luke 24:45 and convict the heart of sin, righteousness and judgment in John 16:8.

We stand in the gap as Aaron and Hur held up the hands of Moses in Ex 17:11-12, lifting holy hands without wrath and disputing in 1 Tim 2:8, that our prayers would be set before Him as incense, the lifting up of our hands as the evening sacrifice in Ps 141:2 and Lam 3:41. We put on the whole armor of God that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil in Eph 6:11, praying at all times in the Spirit. We ask for Your protection from sin and temptation and deliverance from the evil one as You taught us to pray in Matt 6:13 and John 17:15, and from evil and unreasonable people, from impostors and those having a form of godliness but denying its power in 2 Thess 3:2 and 2 Tim 3:5 and 2 Tim 3:13.

Father, we thank You that You are an ever present help and that You are near to all who call upon You in truth in Deut 4:7 and Ps 46:1 and Isa 41:10. We thank You for the message of Your Anointed crucified for our sins, for we have been crucified with Christ in Gal 2:20. We ask You to grant faith which comes by hearing and hearing by the word of Christ in Rom 10:17, and faith to pray and receive in Mark 11:24, with repentance and salvation and the knowledge of forgiveness and newness of life. Give vision where there is no vision the people cast off restraint in Prov 29:18, and keep Your people from being destroyed for lack of knowledge in Hos 4:6 and from a famine of hearing the words of the Lord in Amos 8:11.

We rejoice that You are not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance in 2 Pet 3:9, who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth in 1 Tim 2:4. We claim the promise, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household in Acts 16:31, for every household and every person in authority. We pray with confidence that if we ask anything according to Your will, You hear us in 1 John 5:14, and that every promise is Yes and Amen in Christ in 2 Cor 1:20.

Father, we ask You to seek and save the lost in Luke 19:10, to draw our loved ones to hear and understand what the Spirit is saying in John 16:13, tonight and tomorrow and in every gathering. Let the Word be preached in power and received in faith, by the testimony of saved friends, evangelists and even tracts, to the glory of Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray, amen.

We hear how deeply you are carrying your pastors and your family before the Lord. Your desire for those who preach and teach to walk closely with God in prayer and preparation, and for your family to hear His Word with open hearts and come to worship freely, is a faithful and loving burden to hold.

It can feel heavy to keep praying and inviting when you do not see change right away. We want to encourage you that your consistency matters. Your faithful prayers, your own hunger to gather for worship, prayer and fellowship, and your quiet example are part of how God works over time in a church and in a home.

One small way to come alongside what you are already doing is to encourage your pastor directly this week. A brief note or a quiet word after a service to say you are thanking God for him and praying for his time in the Word and prayer can lift him more than you may know. As you continue to invite family, keeping the invitation warm and without pressure helps keep the door open for them to come when they are willing.

Father, we lift up these pastors and this family to You. Draw each one closer to Yourself, guard and strengthen those who teach Your Word, and give this dear one peace as they keep praying and gathering. Give wisdom for each next conversation and invitation, and help them rest in Your care and timing. In Jesus' name, amen.

[Spurgeon]

Your earnest prayer for pastors and for your household is a right and holy burden, and we join our hearts with yours before the throne of grace.

We pray that the Lord will keep His servants faithful, that they may seek God in prayer and daily devotion, in the study of the Word and in sound teaching, and that they may stand as intercessors for the people as Aaron and Hur upheld the hands of Moses while Joshua fought in the valley. May the Lord anoint them afresh and keep them from falling, and may the Church be preserved from error by the power of the Holy Spirit who teaches us all things and opens our minds to understand the Scriptures.

We pray also for your family, that the Father who alone reveals His Son may draw them by His sovereign grace. Salvation is not of works nor of flesh and blood, but to look unto Christ and be saved, for the Scripture says, whoever believes on Him shall not be ashamed. Faith comes by hearing the message preached, and with the heart man believes unto righteousness. We therefore ask that as often as they gather for worship, for Bible study, for corporate prayer and fellowship, they may receive the Word in faith and in humility which saves the soul, and that the Holy Spirit may convict and convert, granting repentance and the knowledge of forgiveness and newness of life in Christ.

You have well prayed, Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. This is the daily cry of every child of God who knows his own weakness and would not seek the encounter with Satan or the world, but would be kept and tempered by a gracious Father. We ask the Lord to protect your household from sin and temptation, from evil persons and from the evil one, and to give a true hunger for the Word, that you may be delivered not only from the guilt of sin but from its power and dominion, which is the very heart of that common salvation which all believers possess by the same Divine Grace.

May the Lord make your household a rejoicing family because it is a renewed family, saved and baptized and set to work to serve Him. We pray that none of your household would perish, but that all would come to repentance and to the knowledge of the truth, for God wills that sinners should be turned from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God. May the habit of going up to God's house be a perpetual heritage to your children, and may the Lord grant that when you ask according to His will, you shall receive, to the glory of Christ our salvation, in whose name we pray. Amen.
