Pray for Your Pastors

18 Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things. 19 I urge you the more earnestly to do this in order that I may be restored to you the sooner.
Heb 13:18–19

Pray for Your Pastors
God calls pastors to proclaim His Word faithfully, but they are not without weakness. They, too, are sinners in need of grace, sustained only by Christ’s mercy. The writer of Hebrews urges the church to pray for its leaders, that they may serve with clear consciences and in faithfulness to God’s will. Pastors carry the weight of preaching Law and Gospel, administering the Sacraments, and shepherding souls amid spiritual warfare. They need the prayers of the Church, that they may stand firm in Christ. The cross of Jesus is their refuge, just as it is for all believers. In Him, their labor is not in vain. Pray that your pastor may remain steadfast in the truth, strengthened by God’s grace. Through your prayers, God works to uphold those He has called, so that His Word may continue to be proclaimed for the salvation of many.
