PRAY FOR OUR PASTOR'S

We have yet to reach our goals, and we are not perfect. But Christ has taken hold of us. So we keep on running and struggling to take hold of the prize. "We have all sinned and fall short of the glory of God(Romans 3:23). I am certainly not perfect and will not pretend to be. However, we are to live in this world but not be of this world (2 Corinthians 10:3)" Especially those called to lead God's people.

One reason Pastors fall so hard from grace. We put them on a pedestal, but they are humans, too. God called them to serve just like He called us to serve. We're not perfect, and neither is our Pastor. God is still working in them like He's working in us. But I do not follow pastors who are committing Abominational sins. When we accept Christ, the Holy Spirit starts working to change us, and the only way we don't change God is not in us.

Lord, encourage Your Pastors today, those You called to preach, and deliver them from all that separates them from You. Give them the wisdom and knowledge to implement You in their lives to help them fulfill the work You called them to do, in Jesus' name. Father, give them victory over every evil attack against them and cover their minds, bodies, and spirits with Your powerful protection. Lord, give them eyes that see things from Your perspective so they can teach us in Your ways. Lord, hold their hands as they maneuver through a world that seems crazy and lost its way; we come to you this morning seeking answers, strength, and courage for the days ahead. In Jesus' name, Amen 

PROTECT THE CHILDREN

Matthew 18:5- 6 says that whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. 6 "If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea

Where there's a lot of money 💰 typically, there's a lot of evil floating around and those willing to sell their souls or their children to have it. We can all walk straight and narrow or take shortcuts to get there quicker. But getting there through shortcuts can be very costly mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. The entertainment industry will take advantage of young people for their Sadistic games, and they should be punished, and the parents who leave their children with these monsters should be punished as well.

Oh, most gracious God, we petition You for our children, especially those sold in slavery physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. Lord, give them Your comfort, send Your grace upon them, and let them feel Your presence around them. Lord, hold their hands as they walk through this valley of death. Protect them from the danger and darkness of this world, from ill-intended people, and from those who wish to take advantage of their Innocence. Divinely intervene, Lord, when they are in harm's way. Protect our children from the dangers they cannot see coming and punish those responsible for their pain and discomfort right now in the name of Jesus. Amen
