The Bible is clear that we need to cheer on and encourage our spiritual leaders. The text acknowledges that the work of the ministry is difficult, but our respect and acknowledgement of hard work goes a long way in advancing the work of the kingdom. Let’s pray for a culture of honor and respect in the church. If this prayer ministers to you, be sure to share it with your friends. 

Prayer

Jesus, I pray that a culture of honor will be released within the church. May it start with me. I will honor every overseer, pastor, elder, deacon and small group leader. I will respect their work and what they’ve accomplished. I commit to serving them and making their job easier. Bless the work of their hands. By Your grace, I’ll always promote harmony in the church. Teach me how to avoid needless conflicts. I will be respectful toward our leaders and the brethren through the power of Your name, amen.

1 Thessalonians 5:12-13

Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other.
