Pastors are carrying more weight than ever before-yet many of them are the least prayed-for people in the church.
Since 2013, more than 120 Christian pastors have died by suicide. Thousands more step away from ministry every month, overwhelmed by burnout, isolation, conflict, or spiritual fatigue. While they faithfully pray for others, counsel congregants, and lead through crises, they often have no safe place to share their own struggles... and no one interceding for them with skill and intention.
Prayer Points for Pastors: A Tool for Pastors and Their Intercessors (2nd Edition) confronts this hidden crisis with clarity, compassion, and biblical insight. Drawing from years of prayer ministry, research, and firsthand experience, this book equips believers to stand in the gap for God's shepherds with wisdom and spiritual precision.
Inside you'll discover:
✓ Why pastors are uniquely vulnerable to discouragement, spiritual attack, and emotional exhaustion
✓ Eye-opening statistics revealing the urgent need for intentional pastoral prayer
✓ How to build a culture of intercession that strengthens both the pastor and the congregation
✓ Practical, specific prayer points to cover pastors and their families
✓ Guidance for intercessors who want to pray accurately, safely, and in alignment with Scripture
✓ Insights from historic and contemporary authors who have written on pastoral support
Rooted in Scripture and filled with practical tools, this book trains intercessors to pray for, about, and against the issues pastors face-from spiritual warfare to emotional health, from leadership challenges to family pressures. It also offers strategies for pastors to guide the intercession surrounding them, ensuring that those who pray on their behalf do so with clarity and effectiveness.
As the pressures of ministry intensify in the "End Times," pastors need more than encouragement-they need a faithful prayer shield. This resource empowers believers to rise to that calling, creating healthier leaders, stronger churches, and deeper spiritual impact.
Whether you are a pastor, an intercessor, a church leader, or a believer who wants to support your shepherd well, Prayer Points for Pastors will inspire you, equip you, and mobilize you to pray with purpose like never before.
