How to Pray for Your Pastor

A while back I posted about A Neglected Tradition, praying for your pastor. Here is some advice about how to do this, from Robert Murray McCheyne(21 May 1813 – 25 March 1843), a minister in the church of Scotland.

“Pray for your pastor. Pray for his body, that he may be kept strong and spared for many years. Pray for his soul, that he may be kept humble and holy, a burning and shining light. Pray for his ministry, that it may be abundantly blessed, that he may be anointed to preach good tidings. Let there be no secret prayer without naming him before your God, no family prayer without carrying your pastor in your hearts to God.”
