Col. 4:12-13 …always struggling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God. For I bear him witness that he has worked hard for you…

One of the ways the Lord has me serving the Church is by praying. I struggle and work hard on your behalf. One of my prayer tools that keeps me focused is a fat three-ring binder. I use card stock for durability, so it weighs nearly four pounds. I have a set aside time for intercession in the afternoons. I pray on my knees with my eyes open, and I remind myself to pray out loud. This is a separate time from my devotional prayer.

Today we read one of the Scriptures I have in my binder for my pastor. I pray from Psalm 78:72. May he shepherd them with integrity in his heart and guide them with the skillfulness You put into his hands.
