Pray for Preachers
Pray for me, that the power to speak may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may speak boldly as I ought to speak.
– Ephesians 6:19-20
I love the Church, and I love preaching to the Church. But I also love speaking to our nation and the world. I cannot be silent when I see so many injustices. God has called me to speak out and spread the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ to a hurting world.
Whether you speak to large crowds or small home groups, we who preach the Gospel need the prayers of all the saints. We are speaking to a world that only wishes we would shut up. I feel compelled to speak for those who cannot speak, who have been silenced by the enemy. I have a passion to speak the truth of God to those who know only the answers of this secular age.
Even if you only speak to one person at a time, you are still preaching the Gospel of Christ. Don’t give up and don’t grow weary. You are giving a lifeline to someone who is drowning.
Holy Spirit, help me to be ready at all times to speak life.
Lord, I am eternally grateful that You have revealed every mystery and secret in Christ and that You now indwell me by the power of His Spirit. Amen.
