I love poetry. Unfortunately, I’m not good at writing it. Patricia is. That’s why she’s my guest today.

A Pastor Prayer Poem

by Patricia Bankhead

Lord help my Pastor, I pray

There are many obstacles in his way

Every burden help him to bear

Dear Lord, keep him in Your tender care

Give him strength and the ability

To care for the church and his family

Lord, there is so much he has to do

He can’t do alone, he surely needs You

So shelter him in Your loving arms

Safe from all danger and unseen harm

Guard his mouth, his heart and mind

Remove every tittle of sin and pride

Keep him in the hour of temptation

May he not be moved by Satan’s persuasion

Remove all fears, Lord, remove all doubt

By Your Spirit, Lord, be in his mouth

So that he’ll speak a word that is due

And bring Your dear people closer to You

In Jesus Name, Amen.
