A Prayer for Pastors

Ezekiel 34:1-4 (KJV) 1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks? 3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock. 4 The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye
healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.
These chapters are so full of principles and truths but the above verses were to me and all pastors, to evaluate our own purpose and intentions. I pray that God will give strength and wisdom to help others, to feed the flock, to strengthened those hurting, to bind up the broken, to reach those that have gone astray from the flock, driven away by the evil one, to seek the lost. Lord, let this never be a job to pastors, such as I, but a life and ministry to others. Calvary, Pray with me for such wisdom, strength, power and commitment to the Lord!
Love you all
