Prayer for Christian Leaders (Day 7 of the Fourth Day)

[1Th 5:12-13 NLT] 12 Dear brothers and sisters, honor those who are your leaders in the Lord's work. They work hard among you and give you spiritual guidance. 13 Show them great respect and wholehearted love because of their work. And live peacefully with each other.

(A) Creator and Sustainer of all things, You are most worthy of praise.
(T) Thank you for Your goodness and kindness to us and to all whom You have made.
(C) We have not always reflected Your goodness and kindness,
(S) for this we ask for forgiveness. Increase our faith. Help us to lead and follow our leaders,
(Why?) so that we may grow in goodness and kindness. So that we may truly see Your goodness and kindness, because it is hard to see it sometimes. In Your Son's holy name, AMEN.

Saturday's prayer was more for clergy, while Sunday's prayer is more for Christian lay leaders. I am posting this one a day early because I may not get around to it tomorrow. Blessings!
