Praying for Your Pastor

(adapted from lduncan)

Because I have a family that loves me more than I deserve, when ever you pray for me pray the following:

Pray -

1. That Professor Dennis would know and love the living God, would have a saving interest in Christ, being purchased by His blood, and thus would be bound to the Lord by the indissoluble bond of the Holy Spirit.

2. That Professor Dennis would know, embrace and ever more deeply understand the Gospel and be shaped by it in life and ministry.

3. That Professor Dennis would be useful servant of the Lord, that he would know and love God's word, God's people, and God's kingdom; that he would be used to build it up and so that it prevails even against Hell's gates.

4. That Professor Dennis would study, practice and teach the Word of the Lord, by the grace of the Holy Spirit.

5. That Professor Dennis would love to pray, because he loves to commune with his God, and that he would be a man of prayer, characteristically.

6. That Professor Dennis would be ever dependent upon and filled with the Spirit; and that he would possess true Spiritual wisdom.

7. That Professor Dennis would be holy unto the Lord. That his tongue and heart would be wholly God's.

8. That Professor Dennis would be kept from pride, and especially spiritual pride. That the Lord himself would be gracious to slay pride in him, and that Professor Dennis would endeavor to always be putting pride to death, by the grace of the Holy Spirit.

9. That God would give Professor Dennis guidance as to where to focus his efforts in ministry.

10. That He would protect Professor Dennis from himself, from the enemy of his soul, and from all earthly enemies.

11. That no decision which Professor Dennis ever makes or desire that Professor Dennis ever pursues would restrict his ability to pour his whole soul into the Gospel ministry.

12.That many would be converted and many built up under Professor Dennis' ministry, to God's glory alone.

13. That the Lord would bless Professor Dennis' wife, Chanelle, with holiness and happiness, Gospel assurance and Gospel rest.

14. That God would make Professor Dennis a loving and faithful husband and father.

15. That Professor Dennis would be a godly husband to his wife, and love her self-sacrificially,

16. That Professor Dennis would be a godly parent to his children. That they would love God, their parents and the church.

17. That Professor Dennis would be a testimony in the home so that his wife might be able to respect him when he is in the pulpit, and so that Professor Dennis will be able to feed her soul, along with the rest of the congregation.
