Prayer for a Pastor/Shepherd

Jer 23:4 And I will set up shepherds over them who will feed them. And they will fear no more nor be dismayed, neither will any be missing or lost, says the Lord.

Father, thank you for the gift of the local church and the Pastor/shepherds you provide to lead and feed us. As Michelle and her family seek for a church home, I pray that you will guide their decision. Help them to find a fellowship that has the spiritual strength to withstand having them in their midst as members and a Pastor/shepherd who has the maturity, settleness, and compassionate heart for his people. A Pastor whose love for you and knowledge of the Word of God are his primary motivators. A fellowship where they can experience real love, acceptance, and an opportunity to serve you, to be used in the building of your church. Thank you for all you do for us. I ask these prayers in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen
