Thank YOU, Father, for Ministers

Father:

Thank You for these your ministers. Thank you for the diligence with which they do their work for You. Thank You for the examples they are of what a believer should look like. Thank You for their tender hearts that care for and reach out to those in need. Thank You for their voice, both those times when they raise that voice as well as those times they wisely do not. Thank You for their respect for Your Word, Your church, Your systems in this world. Thank You that they so often are the ones to take a fault even if it does not entirely (or at all) fall on them. Thank You for their patience with leader, with members, with the lost. Thank You for loving them, gifting them, forgiving them, using them to impact their place in Your Plan. 

May they know they are loved.

In Jesus Name,

AMEN
