"The Christian leaders of the future have to be theologians, persons who know the heart of God and are trained - through prayer, study, and careful analysis - to manifest the divine event of God's saving work in the midst of the many seemingly random events of their time."
-Henri Nouwen
Today's prayer - Holy God, today we pray for our Christian leaders in every capacity and office in which they serve. We pray for their private time of devotion and prayer with you; that it may be fruitful and draw them closer to you. We pray for their study time; that wisdom and knowledge - not for its own sake, but for the sake of your Kingdom - would be the fruits of their labors. And God, we pray for their analysis; that you would gift them each with discernment beyond their normal capacity that they may put into action the fruits of the other two disciplines. Amen.
