Today’s Prayer (06/18/2021)

Oh Lord, thank You for the pastors in my church. I pray that You will be with Him and continue to lead Him by the hand. His desire to have this calling in the church is very nice to see in this generation. Where there is so much sin that abounds, it is nice to know that these men are out there instructing us on how to live a life that pleases You and not the world. So often our flesh takes control of our lives, while leading us to do things that we know are wrong. This leads people to justify their actions, while they continue to look at pornography, masturbate, have affairs, and get drunk with alcohol. People of the church do these things and it is awesome to hear sermons that teach against these sins, while leading them to repent. To call upon You, Lord Jesus, that they may be forgiven. Only through You, can people be washed and be made clean. Even given a new heart with new desires, which helps them live different lives. Pastors and bishops that are teaching this way are doing Your will. They are Your servants and are leading Your flock the way You would. Thank You for these men. May they continue to seek You daily. That they may also not fall victim to the temptations of the devil. For we know that after we have fallen into sin it is so difficult to share the gospel, let alone give a sermon in church. So I pray for my church pastors and elders. Give them wisdom and strength to overcome temptation. I love You, Lord. Fill me up also with Your wisdom and strength. Amen.
