10. Intercession

Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
— Rom. 8:26

Therefore I exhort first of all that … intercessions … be made for all men.
— 1 Tim. 2:1

This section is for any prayer needs that others may have. Pray for the pastor, elders, deacons, members in the church, family, friends, government officials, the homeless, those in jail, the persecuted Christians, and any others that God may lay upon your heart. Keep notes of needs and answered prayers. Here is a sample prayer that can be made on behalf of your pastors/elders:

Father, I lift up my pastors before Your throne in the strong name of Jesus and ask that You would preserve them (Ps. 31:23) and make them to “abound with blessings” (Prov. 28:20). They are currently burdened with a lot of responsibilities, and I pray that they would not grow weary in doing good (Gal. 6:9), but that You would continue the good work that You have begun in them (Phil. 1:6). They are Your workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works (Eph 2:10), and I pray that those good works ordained before the foundation of the world would powerfully flow through their lives. May each one have all sufficiency in all things (2 Cor. 9:8) so that he in turn would abound in the work of the Lord (1 Cor. 15:58). We know that Satan is doing all that he can to resist their efforts, but I ask that You would send Your warrior angels to protect them and that no weapon formed against them would prosper (Is. 54:17). As they seek to minister to Your flock, I pray that they would do so willingly, eagerly, and as examples to the flock (1 Pet. 5:2). May You crucify all pride in their lives (Gal. 2:20; James 4:6) and enable them to seek Your glory above everything (1 Cor. 10:31). May none of our elders do any ministry in his own strength, but may he wait on You so that You would strengthen him for his work (Ps. 27:14). Please instruct each one in the way that he should go (Ps. 32:8) and reveal the deeper things of the Spirit to him (1 Cor. 2:10) so that he would diffuse the wonderful fragrance of Your knowledge in every place (2 Cor. 2:14). Help the elders to set in order the things that are lacking in the church (Tit. 1:5). In the strong name of Jesus I tear down any strongholds that are over their ministry in the church or in their ministry at home (2 Cor. 10:4). I come against any sickness or curses of Satan (Deut. 28) and plead the cross since You have redeemed them from the curse of the law (Gal. 3:13). Father, may the gifts and anointings of Your Holy Spirit flow strongly in their lives (1 Cor. 12:11). Prosper their work as they devote themselves to the ministry of word and prayer (Acts 6:4). I pray all of this in the strong name of Jesus, Amen.
