## Pray for Christian Workers

The following is derived from specific requests made by the Apostle Paul, from his description of his own ministry, and what he says concerning character qualities of Christian leadership

### What to pray for:

#### 1. Concerning their Labor

that they may be free from hinderances
that they may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men.
that the Word may have free course and be glorified.
that their service might be acceptable to the Christian community
that laborers may be sent to those locations where there is a harvest waiting to be reaped.
that opportunities may open up for them to communicate the message
that they may have wisdom and boldness in communicating the message

#### 2. Concerning their Motivation

that they may be motivated out of love
that they may seek to please God and abstain from seeking glory from men
that they would not be greedy nor obsess over material desires and concerns

#### 3. Concerning their Perspective

that they may have a vision for young believers to walk worthy of God in love and holiness
that they may have a vision for the gospel to be known
in places where either it hasn't be introduced or
where people have had an inadequate knowledge of it.
