A Sunday Prayer

for your pastor

By John Calvin

Grant, Almighty God, that as you would have us to be ruled by the preaching of your Word - O Grant that those who have to discharge this office may be really endued with your celestial power, that they may not attempt anything of themselves, but with all devotedness spend all their labors for you and for our benefit, that through them we may be thus edified so that you may ever dwell among us. Amen.
