Pastor Appreciation
All of us here at Dorothy Lane appreciate everything that Pastor Jeff does for us, week in and week out. As many of you know, in addition to being our pastor, Jeff has a full time job as Chaplain at the Wexner Medical Center in Columbus. With his daily commute he puts in long hours. Yet, he is always here for us and eager to lead us with enthusiasm and love. We offer this prayer for Our P-A-S-T-O-R
P- Purity. Pray that our pastor will not become hardened, miserable, or broken in
the face of constant pressure in our culture.
A- Adversity. Pray for our pastor to be able to confront problems, resistance and
adversity with faith and endurance.
S- Strength. Pastors work very long hours. Pray for strength to continue in
ministry.
T- Teaching. Pray that our pastor’s teaching and preaching will be effective,
powerful, and clear.
O- Organization. Our pastor has more to do that anyone can handle. Pray for him
to make good decisions and prioritize correctly.
R- Rest. Pray that our pastor will sleep well each night, take enough time away
from ministry not to get worn out.
