FAQs

What is the purpose of these strategic prayers for pastors?

The purpose is to provide specific intercessory prayers that form a spiritual hedge around pastors and help counter attacks, discouragement, and unhelpful leadership pressures.

Why does the preface emphasize an intimate relationship with God for pastors?

It argues that survival in ministry depends on maintaining closeness with the Lord, because without intimacy there is no fresh spiritual provision for ministering to others.

What concerns do the seven prayers address?

They address protection from public exposure of weaknesses, preservation of the pastor’s character during attacks, safeguarding trust and love, resisting deception about the pastor’s impact, keeping dreams from becoming bored or stagnant, exposing hidden agendas, and increasing financial overflow.
