Do you know your pastor’s vision for your church? Has he or she started a new building program? Or has he launched a campaign to reach the youth in your area? Every leader needs the agreement of its followers. If not already, find out the specific vision of your house (local church) and pray the prayer of agreement. (Matthew 18:19)

Pray for the safety of your pastor. We live in a dangerous violent world. Yet God watches over his word to perform it. Pray that your leader(s) dwell in the secret place of the Most High and they remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty whose power no enemy can withstand. Thank God for the angels that he has given special charge over our leaders to accompany, defend and preserve in all their ways of obedience and service. (Isaiah 26:3, Psalms 91)

Pray the prayer of healing over your authority. Jesus paid a horrible price through his death, burial and resurrection that we might have life abundantly. Won’t you pray that your leader receives healing whenever needed? Pray that he prosper, stay in good health even as his soul prospers. (3 John 2)

Pray that God grants your leader peace that surpasses all understanding in mind, body and spirit. Pray that God grants him a peaceful dwelling place. Because we live in a fallen world, we may not always be able to enjoy a peaceful environment. But God can give us peace in the midst of a storm. Pray the prayer of peace over your authority. (Colossians 3:15)

Get in step with your pastor. Match his fervor for God's vision with your passion for God's plan through him. Look for ways you can help bring his vision to pass. Plant your service as a seed in God's kingdom. And discover He will make your vision, your dreams and desires come to pass in due season.

Meditation Moment: Again, I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. -Matthew 18:19 NIV
