For the preacher
Father:
We love these Your special envoys to the world who carry about the Good News that is the only hope for this world. Thank You for gifting the world with Your Son who placed hope within the hearts of these our fellow strugglers. Thank You for their hearts, for how they persevere as they live a life both like and unlike everyone around them. Thank You for these earthen vessels who move forward in the midst of hurt, criticism, confusion, family, expectations within and without, frustrations, and the simple weight of the burden in their souls. Thank You. Help them to know how much they are loved by so many BUT most of all help them to comprehend how deep, wide, high, and long Your love for THEM is.
In Jesus Name,
AMEN
