A Pastor’s Prayer Requests

Humility: I desire that I would be constantly

fighting personal pride and cultivating humility, and striving to spread a high view of God and low view of self.

Dependence upon God: I desire that my prayer life would increase and deepen, and that I would prevail with God to give men faith and repentance so that I can prevail with men to believe and repent!

Compassion: I desire to be sensitive to and sincerely troubled by what troubles you, for discernment to deal with real issues rather than symptoms, and courage to speak the truth in love.

Balance: I desire God’s grace to balance time and care to my wife and family, as well as the vital shepherding of this church family, and pray that my life and teaching would never be imbalanced, as “the holy Bible is wholly taught.”

Patience and Wisdom: I desire much of God’s wisdom to guide my every step in leading this precious flock, and patience with those who disagree, as we grow together.

Pure Motives: I desire to be motivated by the prospect of the glory of Christ and not by self-interest.

Diligence & Hard Work: I desire to discipline myself for painstaking labors and hours deep in study, because God’s Word deserves it and God’s people need meat to grow.

Doctrinal Stability: I desire to stand unwaveringly on sound theological truth, with discernment to avoid frivolous discussions, needless debates, and unprofitable controversies that veil the beauty of Christ.

Meekness Towards Men: I desire to have such confidence in the sufficiency of Scripture that I need not be quarrelsome or harsh.

Zeal: I desire that the truth affect my soul first before I ever present it to you and that my passion will be genuine.

Clarity and Power of Teaching: I desire by the Spirit’s empowering to make clear the supremacy of God’s glory by the exposition of His word, with accurate application toward life-transformation.

Reverence: I desire to refuse to patronize sinners through entertainment but preach under the judicial gaze of a holy and awe-inspiring God.
