Heavenly Father, I intercede today for our pastor’s protection.
Your Word tells us the sheep will scatter if the shepherd is struck. We also know that the sheep flourish when the shepherd is secure. So God, for their sake and for the sake of this church, will you please protect our pastor?
Surround them with your mighty angels to stand guard around him this day and repel any of the attacks of the evil one. Equip our pastor with your full armor, God, that when the attacks against them come, they may stand firm. Equip them with the belt of truth, with the breastplate of righteousness, with feet readied with the good news of Jesus, with the shield of faith to extinguish the flaming arrows of the evil one, with the helmet of salvation, and with the sword of your Word and Spirit.
Remind them of the promises of your Word— that you are with them and you are greater than the one who is against them. That their struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers of this dark world and spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm. That no weapon formed against them will prosper. That they are a victor in Christ the Champion. That they are an overcomer in Christ the Conqueror.
Protect our pastor, Lord.

Protect our pastor, Lord. Their family. Their house. Their health. Their finances. Their sexuality. Their humility. Their relationships. Their emotions. Their energy. Their habits. Their devotional life. Do not let the enemy gain a foothold or establish a beachhead into their life. Thwart the devil’s schemes. Cast out the forces of darkness from every area of his life and replace those spaces with the light and power of your Holy Spirit.
In the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Ephesians 6:12
