Father, hear our prayer for our pastor and for every church leader in (name your city, county, state, or nation), that Your Word may speed ahead of them and be honored when they speak about the gospel. Open a door to the gospel in our area that no evil force can close for our church leaders and us to declare the mystery of Christ with our words and with our lives. May your Holy Spirit open hearts and draw many to repentance and into saving relationships with Jesus Christ so that our churches are full and the gospel flourishes in our times. Amen.
