Prayer & Fasting Guide

Praying for Direction as We Form a Pastor Search Team

As our church seeks the Lord’s will in selecting those who will serve on the Pastor Search Team, we commit ourselves to prayer. Use the Scriptures and prompts below to guide your intercession.


Praying for God’s Direction

  • Pray that God will clearly reveal the individuals He is calling to serve in this important role. 
  • Ask the Lord to show us qualities and people we may not naturally think of but whom He has prepared. 
  • Seek God’s insight so that our choices reflect His wisdom rather than our assumptions. 

James 1:5 — Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God—who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly—and it will be given to him. 

  • Ask God to give our church the wisdom we need to identify men and women of spiritual maturity and unity. 
  • Pray that our decisions will be guided by the Spirit rather than personal opinion or convenience. 
  • Request confidence and clarity as we seek God’s generous, unfailing guidance. 

Waiting on God’s Direction

Trusting in God’s Direction

  • Pray that we will trust the Lord wholeheartedly instead of relying on preference or tradition. 
  • Ask God to unify our church as we acknowledge His leadership in every decision. 
  • Pray for a clear and straight path as God gives shared conviction about the ones He is calling. 

John 16:13 — When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth. For he will not speak on his own, but he will speak whatever he hears. He will also declare to you what is to come. 

  • Pray for the Holy Spirit to guide us in understanding the needs of our church in this season. 
  • Ask for discernment to recognize those He is prompting us to consider. 
  • Pray for insight into the future so that those selected will lead wisely through what lies ahead.
