A Way to Pray (#2) by Matthew Henry
Matthew Henry teaches Christians to express their prayers in the very words of Scripture. In this section let us pray FOR ALL THE MINISTERS OF GOD'S WORD AND SACRAMENTS.
“Make your ministers mighty in the Scriptures. Raise up men of God who have the competence that comes from being thoroughly equipped for every good work. In all things let them be a model of good works. Let them not be corrupted in what they teach. Make them serious, sincere, and well balanced in whatever they say, so they will never need to be contradicted.” Acts 18:24; 2 Tim. 3:17; Titus 2: 7, 8.
