“Join with me in fervent prayers to God on my behalf,” Paul
wrote in Romans 15:30. The apostle said you can partner with a pastor by your
prayers, and he often asked for that help.
In that fine tradition, how can you pray for me? Here are a
few suggestions from a list Pastor Ligon Duncan shared in a blog post. Duncan
said to pray...
That I would know, embrace, and
ever more deeply understand the Gospel and be shaped by it in life and
ministry.
That I would be useful servant of
the Lord; that I would know and love God's word, God's people, and God's
kingdom; that I would be used to build it up and so that it prevails even
against Hell's gates.
That I would study, practice, and
teach the Word of the Lord, by the grace of the Holy Spirit.
That I would love to pray, would
love to commune with God.
That I would be ever dependent upon
and filled with the Spirit; and that I would possess true Spiritual wisdom.
That I would be holy unto the Lord;
that my tongue and heart would be wholly God's.
That God would give me guidance as
to where to focus my efforts in ministry.
That He would protect me from
myself, from the enemy of my soul, and from all earthly enemies.
That many would be converted and
many built up under my ministry, to God's glory alone.
That the Lord would bless my wife
with holiness and happiness, Gospel assurance and Gospel rest.
That God would make me a decent
husband and father.
It's a comfort to know you're praying for me as I pray for
you!
