Praying for your leaders

Having spent last week studying Malachi it raised a useful list of things to pray for leaders of the church and those who preach and teach:

1. That their service of God is always viewed as a privilege, never a burden.
2. That they enjoy and develop their own relationship with God, never take it for granted.
3. That they are newly amazed at the grace God shows in the gospel daily.
4. That they teach the truth and instruct the people.
5. That they do not become populists but honour God's name.
6. That their studies and love for God is seen in an every more Godly lifestyle.
7. That their ministry and leadership turns many from sin.
