for = in favor of, favoring, on the side of. A Prayer for Preachers

God:

Bless this Your minister tomorrow. As he stands before Your People tomorrow there will be much to distract him from his own knowledge of his weaknesses, to the haunting understanding that there are those listening who would rather be listening to someone else. But Father above the frustration would You help him to be aware that there are many more in that audience who love, respect, and revere both what he is doing and what he stands for as He stands in the center of Your Truth. Help him to know there are many who are anticipating, craving desiring, and excited to be fed from Your Word. Help him to breath deeply in the confidence building reality that many are for Your Men and Your Message. Bless this Your minister, may he know more of all that You are “on his side” for good.

In Jesus Name,

AMEN
