Prayer

What do pastor's have in common?

We all read each others blogs and "borrow" them for our blogs.

I am a avid reader of Pastor Scott Distler's (Lititz GBC) blog. He has read an article by Perry Noble, a pastor in South Carolina, who talked about praying for pastors. So, I want to youth-a-fy it and post this entry.

It is key to pray for your youth pastor on a regular basis. When are some times he REALLY needs prayer.

1. Wednesday Nights. So much is riding on Wednesday nights. Trying to bring other teens in, making sure the lesson is "cool" enough, and making sure everything is ready to go. Wednesday's are the busiest and most stressful for most youth pastors. So this would be a great time.

2. Sunday Mornings. Sundays for our church is a place where teens can go deeper in the Word. So, I, personally am stressed out making sure every verse is studied properly or to the best of my ability and making sure no heresy is taught :)

3. Anytime the Holy Spirit Leads. Whenever you feel like you should pray for your youth pastor, please PRAY! Sometimes the Holy Spirit will impress on your heart to pray for your youth pastor because he may be going through a tough time you do not know about. Pray for them.

As a result of this, we are asking parents to pray before, during, and after the Wednesday night programming to start. If any parent is reading this, please feel free to contact me with a time slot you may be able to pray.

As for you students, pray for the youth pastor and your leaders as much as possible. We need God as much as you do and we would love your prayers!
