    Heavenly Father, I thank you for the Shepherd you have put over us. Our Pastor has always and will always preach your word. He loves you with all his heart, which in turn helps us to love you with all our hearts. He shows and demonstrates how and when to apply your words. Even when his wife was ill, he never stopped praising the Lord. My prayer is that God will continually bless our Pastor and give him the strength he needs to do His will and build him up where he is torn down, and strenthen him where he is weak. I love my Pastor, because he continually shows us his love. I pray for all the Pastors all over the world who loves the Lord with all their heart and preaches His word in season and out of season no matter what.

    Dear Lord, I thank You for Pastor Shawn; He seeks Your Face in everything he does, and, he is faithful in his calling to You. I am amazed that such a young person as he, possesses so much compassion,and love for his followers, and even towards strangers.
    I pray Lord, that his mind continues to be renewed daily,by the Holy Spirit, and that the Joy of the Lord, will be his strength.
    I remembered one Wednesday night when I asked him a question about how to really please God; and he said that I should Delight myself in the Lord, I was so Blessed by the statement, that I have shared it with many of my friends.
    I ask that Grace truly abound in his heart, and that his family be Blessed as he is Blessed by God.
    I pray Psalms 91 over the lives of him and his family;
    Psalms 91: He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
    2. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God ; in him will I trust.
    3. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
    4. He shall cover thee( Pastor Shawn ), with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
    7. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and then thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
    14. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
    16. With long life will I satisfy him ( and his family ),and show him my salvation.

    Father God I pray you be with every pastor in our city - I pray Lord you meet each one TODAY in his or her personal place of need for you care for them and love them dearly. I pray Lord for times of refreshing for each of them and I ask Lord you will guide them to times of Rest - to truly Be Still and know that you are God. I pray Lord that they would become Marys - she is the one who choose the best - sitting at Jesus feet and gazing in His face. Lord - I know you so desire time alone with my Brothers and Sisters for you have things to say to those that takes being still and listening - teach us all how to do this better.

    I pray Lord you would unite pastors all across Greensboro and teach them what a mighty force they would be when they stand shoulder to shoulder with one another - they need one another just as we need one another.

    Now Lord - I pray a hedge of protection and a wall of fire around every Pastor and Minister in Jesus name - protect them from every fiery dart of the enemy who comes to kill,steal and destroy and I speak over them NO WEAPON will prosper and EVERY WORD spoken against them in judgment is condemned in Jesus name - I pray God you CANCEL every demonic assignment against Pastors - make them NULL AND VOID in Jesus name - the name above all names…Lord - I bless all Pastors in my city - I lift Pastor Dan and Pastor Alexis up before you today for their hearts to serve this city as pastor in Jesus name…

    Father, I thank You that our pastors are faithful, and that You preserve them. That they abound with blessings, and do not grow weary in well doing. That You who began a good work in them will perfect it. They are Your workmanship created in Christ Jesus, and equipped in every good thing to do Your will. Work in them that which is well-pleasing in Your sight. Let all grace abound toward them, having sufficiency in all things, and an abundance for every good work.
    Because they have sowed bountifully, they will reap bountifully,
    and whether they plant or water, Father, You give the increase.
    I pray that they continually triumph in Christ, diffusing the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. That all blessings come upon them and overtake them, because they obey the voice of their God.
    Instruct them and teach them in the way they should go; reveal the deeper things of God to them by Your Spirit. Let them be vessels of honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.
    Shepherding the flock willingly, eagerly, and being an example to them. Their speech and preaching is in demonstration of the Spirit and power. And they are instant in season and out of season to preach the Word. Every place the soles of their feet tread upon has been given to them. They are strong and of good courage for You, Lord, go with them. They wait on You, and You strengthen them in their heart. Help them set in order things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city. I tear down the strongholds over the pulpit. I lift up our pastors and cover them with the blood of Jesus.
    Sickness and disease shall in no way come near them, for they are redeemed from the curse of the law. I say that no weapon formed against them will prosper, and every tongue rising against them shall be shown to be in the wrong.
    Father, let the gifts and anointings on their lives come forth. Birth the things that You have spoken to them in their hearts, as they continually give themselves to prayer and the ministry of the Word. In Jesus Name, Amen

    Great Shepherd of the sheep, God of glory, you are worthy of all praise. I cry out with the Psalmist,:Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.

    Abba we lift up Pastor Sue and Des to you. We thank you for giving them to us. We cover them and their lovely children with your blood and declare that no weapon fashioned against them will prosper. We release your goodness, love and peace upon them. Give them days of rest and ease in the glory. Bring times of refreshing to them. May Your word that is like fire in their bones be released to us and may our hearts be like fertile soil.

    Let your Kingdom come and your will be done through all that you do and intend to do through Des and Sue. We agree with your word that you never sleep nor slumber as you watch over them day and night. You protect them from the sun and the moon. Surely your goodness and mercy follow them all the days of their lives. In Jesus Name, Amen

    Lord of all the universe, almighty and most merciful God in heaven above, hallowed be Your magnificent name. We humbly come before Your throne of grace in faith and believing in Your infinite power and wisdom over all of creation with this prayer requesting Your favor and divine blessings for all members of the clergy on this special week we have dedicated to recognize and honor pastors every where. Father God, You know their hearts and thoughts and their passions to shepherd Your flocks and we ask You Lord to fill their minds and mouths with the words that You want them to speak to Your children. Bless them with good health, material provision and give them unlimited access to Your divine wisdom. Fill them to overflowing with Your Holy Spirit and send down Your heavenly angels to guide, protect and direct Your ordained servants in all their ways. Bless all the works of their hands with abundant fruitfulness and success in their ministries. Fill each of their lives with victory upon holy victory to the glory of Your kingdom and let their lives become beacons of Your light and Your love to the lost souls You guide their way. Forgive them when they stumble in sin and be as gentle as You can in returning their feet to the path of Your righteousness, but in all things, let Your hands be ever upon them. Bless their families, both of the flesh and of the spirit, with good health and full provision of all their daily needs. We love You Lord and we can never thank You enough for loving us. We claim the promise and victory of our Lord Jesus over all that we ask, for Christ has conquered all the things of this world, and it is to You Lord that we pray all these things in our Redeemer’s most precious holy name. Amen and amen
