A Prayer of & for Faith

Dear Father in Heaven,

We are thankful for the faith of the men who will preach Your Word on Sunday. We give you thanks for those who instilled faith in their hearts and minds. We thank You that this faith leads them to trust You and Your Truth. We give you thanks the faith of Your men during days of doubt and uncertainty.

What a wonderful blessing these men are to people who are struggling with their faith. How wonderful that those who are struggling can point to the Gospel proclaimed by these preachers and say, “that’s the kind of faith we need during the difficult times!” We give You thanks, dear God, that this ancient faith which has stood the test of time, is deep in the heart of Your men.

Lord, when we are honest, we admit that at times due to circumstances we have all struggled with our faith. Please help Your preachers to endure, to grow in their faith, and to share that enduring faith with as many as possible. May all of us who preach Your Word have the faith we need  to encourage those who hear us on Sunday.

In the Name of the Author & Finisher of our Faith, we pray, Amen.
