For Those Preparing for Ministry

Lord of the Church,
Thank you for all who are willing to pursue the path of public ministry. Those decisions aren’t made in a vacuum, but often come in connection with much support and encouragement from others. To serve others with your Word full-time is a noble calling. It is also one that you don’t take lightly, for you hold those in ministry to a higher standard as they handle your Word of truth and apply it as your representatives. Make future pastors, teachers, and staff ministers mindful of these realities as they give themselves fully to their studies. Grant them also the confidence that you always provide what is needed to those you call so that they can carry out their work faithfully. Bless their preparation and training, providing them with meaningful experience along the way that will reinforce their desire and commitment to serve you and your people in ministry. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For All Those Serving in Your Church

Lord of the Church,
We are grateful for every soul who serves in the church. Thank you for the thorough theological and ministerial training our called workers have received. Let their leadership gifts serve to guide congregational ministry while also equipping others to lead. Thank you for dedicated lay leaders who willingly use their gifts and give of their time in ministry, offering up a pleasing sacrifice to you through their ministry. Thank you for those in the church who voluntarily tend to the daily needs of their congregations, honoring and glorifying you with their talents and abilities and serving their brothers and sisters in Christ. Bless called workers, lay leaders, and all willing volunteers with a harmonious spirit and the guidance of your Spirit to empower their congregations to faithfully sow the seed of your Word. Grant them joy and satisfaction in their work, and fulfill them with the privilege of giving themselves fully to you in their service. Strengthen our congregations and the whole body of Christ as each part eagerly excels at its work.      

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
