“God, please give our pastor a heart and vision to reach and minister to people beyond our own walls. Teach me to be the kind of church member who encourages and supports our pastor.”
1. 2 Kings 4: 32-33 NASB “When Elisha came into the house, behold the lad was dead and laid on his bed. So he entered and shut the door behind them both and prayed to the Lord.” Father God, this was a prayer of restoration for the life of this young boy. Teach us to pray, Father. Cleanse our lives and help us to keep away from those things which could hinder our prayers.
2. 2 Matthew 11: 28 NASB “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.” Father God, what encouraging words we read from the lips of Jesus! He bids us COME to Him! His promise is for refreshment; He even takes hold of our load to lessen the burden we carry. At times He completely carries the load for us, other times His strength enables us to share the load with Him.
