Give him

Father:

Bless the hearts of those who will speak of You to others Sunday. May they have the courage to speak those words that convince, the creativity to engage those who struggle with focus, the boldness to say those things that may not be comfortable, the strong belief in the gospel that will fire a passion to reach out, the commitment to truth that will keep him in Your way, the love to embrace the hearers with his words, the discernment to know when to fit the right word in, the discipline to see more than just one day, the joy to sustain him through the difficult days, enough pain to make him depend on You and empathize with others, others who will lift him up and renew his energies when he’s worn down, and faith in Thee. 

In Jesus Name,

AMEN
