Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank you for the work you do in our lives, waking us up, providing for us, bestowing gifts upon us, we thank you so much for these daily blessings.

We ask for the protection of our church leaders, and all church leaders. From Sunday school teachers, to deacons, to ministry and committee leaders, to pastors. We ask that you give them discernment and convictions to help them lead their congregations to you. We ask that you give them comfort when they need it. Leading can be a thankless job and take away from other important areas of lives and we ask that you be there for them and help them spread their time and energy appropriately.

We ask all this in Jesus' name, Amen.
