New Testament Prayers For Ministers and Ministries

(Pray these prayers for your pastor or a man or woman of God)
*********************************************************************************************
Acts Chapter Four

Lord, since I have heard the report about the anointing and the struggles of the ministry of _________ , I raise my voice to You in prayer, O God. Sovereign Lord, You made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything in them. You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of your servant, our father David: "Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against his Anointed One."Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in the city of Jerusalem to conspire against Your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed. They did what your power and will had decided beforehand should happen. Now, Lord, consider the needs of this city also and the threats against the anointed ministry of _________ and enable Your servant _________ to speak Your word with great boldness. Stretch out Your hand through _________ to heal and perform miraculous signs and wonders through the name of Your holy servant Jesus. In Jesus Name! (Acts 4:24-30, NIV).

Romans Chapter Fifteen

By my Lord Jesus Christ and by my love for the Spirit, I join the ministry of _________ in his or her struggle by praying to You, O God for _________ . Father, I pray that _________ may be rescued from any unbelievers wherever he goes and that _________'s service in this city(ies) may be acceptable to the saints in this place(s), so that by God's will, _________ may come again to me with joy and together, we will both be refreshed. In Jesus Name! (Romans 15:30-32, NIV).

Ephesians Chapter Six

(Father, putting on the whole armor of God) I pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, I'll stay alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. I pray also for the ministry of _________ , that whenever _________ opens his mouth, words may be given to _________ so that he or she will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which _________ is an ambassador in chains (to the will of God). I pray, Father, that _________ may declare the Word of God fearlessly, as he should. In Jesus Name! (Ephesians 6:18-20, NIV).

Colossians Chapter Four

Father, I devote myself to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And I pray for the ministry of _________ , too, that God may open a door for _________ 's message, so that _________ may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which he is in chains (to his or her calling). In Jesus Name! (Colossians 4:2,3, NIV).

1 Thessalonians 3:9-11

God, I can't thank You enough in return for all the joy I have in Your presence because of _________. Night and day I pray most earnestly that _________ may see me again and supply what is lacking in my faith. Now may You, God, and My Father and my Lord Jesus clear the way for _________ to come to me. In Jesus Name! (1 Thessalonians 3:9-11, NIV).

2 Thessalonians Chapter 3

I pray for the ministry of _________, that the message of the Lord through _________ may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it has been with me. And I pray that _________ may be delivered from wicked and evil men, for not everyone has faith. In Jesus Name! (2 Thessalonians 3:1,2, NIV).

Hebrews Chapter Thirteen

I pray for the ministry of _________ , that he or she keep a clear conscience and that they desire to live honorably in every way. Father, I pray that You restore _________ to me so that I can enjoy his ministry again. In Jesus Name! (Hebrews 13:18,19, NIV).
