If you’re not praying regularly for your bishop, you’re a fool. In our current state, more than the weekly corporate intercession is needed. Don’t assume someone else is taking care of it. I don’t know a single person with a list of the names of the HoB who covers them in prayer every day. Maybe there is such a person, maybe not.
How to pray? Ask God to bless him/her at a point of great need. Ask God to guard him/her against spiritual blindness, fear, confusion, and deception. Ask God to stir in him/her an increased hunger for Holy Scripture. Ask God to guide the use of his/her time to the establishment of God’s kingdom on earth.
I do not cease to pray for my bishop _____ and to desire that _____ might be filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that _____ might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to Christ’s glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness. Amen.
Colossians 1:9-11
