7 Mountain Prayers: Praying for Our Pastors
“Since an overseer manages God’s household, he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.” Titus 1:7-9
As we focus on the Church Mountain this week, Father, we bring before You the elders of this city/county – our pastors. May our prayers form a shield of protection about them.
