The Shepherd Father And I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding. Jeremiah 3:15
Lord, I pray that the Shepherd Father will remain rooted and grounded in You. I pray that the enemy will not distract him with the love of money, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. Lord, help them to be protected from all hurt, harm, and danger. Lord, I pray that the Shepherd Dad’s household is holy and acceptable unto You. I pray he is living what he is preaching about--that it is not just a show. Lord, I pray if the Shepherd Dad has fallen by the wayside (either with women, gambling, drugs, sex, or old habits) that will cause him not to sin against You. I pray You will allow him space and time to repent and to get it right before it is too late. Allow him to know that he can repent; that a just man falleth seven times. Let the church leaders continue to stand in the gap for him, by praying for him that he will not fall. Send the Shepherd Dad some trusted colleagues that will give him words of encouragement. Give the Shepherd Dad a really good friend to lean on when
