This week I will…
- Be reminded that I pray for spiritual leaders, ultimately because of the worthiness of Jesus. Write down as many truths about Jesus’ character, works, and mission as I can. Use this as a starting place for my prayers.
- Take time every day, multiple times each day, to pray this prayer: "Lord, I pray for (name of a ministry leader), asking that you will protect them from (specific attacks from the enemies of the Gospel)."
- Paul admitted his need for personal refreshment from others. Be intentional to do one thing (text, email, note, gift, etc.) to refresh the heart of one of my spiritual leaders (pastor, elder, teacher, missionary).
