Pray for the Pastor

Brothers, pray for us. (1 Thessalonians 5:25)

A selfish request, this morning - pray for your pastor. Always and often. He needs your prayers every day.

Years ago a great preacher named Charles Haddon Spurgeon wrote a devotional book called "Morning and Evening". This book is available in many forms today, and is even available for free on the internet.

Here is part of today's entry, written by Spurgeon years ago, but still so needed today:
This one morning in the year we reserved to remind each reader of the importance of praying for ministers, and we earnestly implore every Christian household to heed this request first uttered by Paul and now repeated by us. Brothers, our work is solemnly momentous, involving good or ill to thousands; we deal with souls for God on eternal business, and our word is either a savor of life unto life or of death unto death. A very heavy responsibility rests upon us, and it will be no small mercy if at the last we be found clear of the blood of all men.
Will you pray for your pastor today?
