Ministers of the Gospel sometimes go through a lot not even seen or known by the public and their pain is covered with the grace of God. They go through family challenges, children, financial issues, church issues etc. Sometimes if care is not taken they drop off their spiritual assignment or just carry it out anyhow rather than being directed by the Holy Spirit. As an intercession in your city, church of community, God expects you to pray for them. Psalm 2:8 “Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession”. Ask God to give you these ministers and their families so can carry their burden. Fear is a weapon that the enemy uses to distract us from the values in God. We must pray that they will not fear anything but will trust the God who called them.
