Want to do something nice for your pastor that will only take a few minutes of your time?
If so, pray the verses below for him right now. Just insert your pastor’s name in the blanks.
Come on, you were going to read this anyway, right? So why not take what’s written and turn it into a prayer instead?
Go for it!
For his walk with the Lord
May the words of ___________’s mouth and the meditation of his heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.1
For his ministry
Whenever _______________ opens his mouth may words may be given him so that he will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel. May he declare it fearlessly, as he should.2
If he’s a husband
May ___________ love his wife, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. May he also love his wife as his own body.3
If he’s a father
May _____________ not exasperate his children; instead, may he bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.4
Congratulations—you’ve just blessed your pastor!
But you’re not finished, yet. Why not take another few minutes and write him a quick note to let him know you’ve prayed for him? And don’t forget to mention which verses you used. It doesn’t have to be on fancy stationary or a card, just a brief note on whatever you have around the house. It’s the message that counts, not the “packaging.”
Take it from me, letting your pastor know what you’ve done will make his day in a big way.
Go ahead. Make his day. I dare you.
