Dear Lord,
Bless Pastor P. for all he does. He is the best shepherd I have ever known, besides my dad.
He works constantly. Keep him encouraged so he doesn't burn out. I don't know what happened with his wife, but he is divorced. I suspect that he spent so much time shepherding his congregation that she felt left out, but that is speculation. Either way, we at the church think he needs more human support.
As he considers a call to another church, we know we must ask for your will to be done. We ask that we can keep him as our shepherd for longer, but we understand your will supersedes ours.
In your holy name, amen.
