Pray for us!

I awoke this morning with an overwhelming realization that God's men are in constant need of prayer. As I was praying for the people of Calvary, I began to pray for Pastor Kevin and sister Kelli. They are both away at teen camp with many of our teenagers. I began to pray for strength, alertness, wisdom, to have the spirit of a helper, compassion and discernment. Among other things such as safety and kindness. 


Paul addressed the church at Thes. and said, "Brethern, pray for us." (Thes. 5:25) Its amazing how a Pastor knows when someone is praying for him. I know when people are praying for me because they tell me so. Few things encourage a Pastor as when they are told that they are being prayed for. This means so much. On the other hand, I know when someone isn't praying for me. When they are quick to find fault in me or talk about me negatively behind my back. These are stings that seem to last a while.


I ask you to pray for your Pastors everyday. We are men of God and Satan hates us. He would love to destroy our families and our relationships.  Here is a link that will help you know how to pray for your Pastors. http://www.reviveourhearts.com/pdf/31DaysPrayingPastor.pdf


"Father, I pray for Pastor Kevin and Sister Kelli. I pray that you will guide them and guard them. Help them as they seek to meet the needs of the people you have given them. May they be an encouragement and an example to others as they seek you in all things. Keep them from the snares of the enemy and may they find your hand of favor on their lives at all times. In Jesus name, Amen."
