Appreciate our Pastors through Prayer

The Bible tells us to “acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you” (1 Thessalonians 5:12). Our pastors and ministers have great responsibility for their church. They sow and sacrifice so much into their church - their time, their energy, their prayers - so we can grow with the Lord and be edified. Paul commands us to “hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work” (1 Thessalonians 5:13). In this month, let’s encourage and edify our pastors by giving our time and resources to them in prayer and in person.
​
Praying for My Pastor & Minister is the perfect prayer guide to pray the Word for your pastor and minister, their family, and their ministry. This prayer guide will lead you in prayer for your minister’s personal well-being, their alone time with God, and that they would be equipped with the armor of God.

Other uses for this prayer guide:
  • Pray every day for your pastor in October
  • Pray on October 13, which is Pastor's Appreciation Day
  • Organize a team of intercessors to pray for your pastor throughout the month
  • Hold a concert of prayer for your pastor/minister

Other ways to show appreciation:
  • Send your pastor a hand-written note
  • Organize a group so your pastor will receive a hand-written note of encouragement every day for 31 days
  • Give a meaningful gift
  • Give a group gift
  • Send your pastor on a short sabbatical
