We’re moving full steam ahead with The Prayer List, the series in which we lift up one brother or sister within the gospel community each week.  We’re ALL responsible for the well-being of this industry.

This week, I’m adding Pastor Jason Nelson.  As many of you know, Jason Nelson is an incredible vocalist and pastor of Greater Bethlehem Temple in Maryland.  He’s also a father and husband, and he’s the twin brother of gospel artist Jonathan Nelson.

Father, thank You for the life of Pastor Jason Nelson. Thank You for all that You’ve called him to do and be for Your Kingdom on Earth. Thank You for his role as a husband, father, pastor, singer and more.  I ask that You give him strength to do all of the things he’s got to do– daily– and that, in doing so, You would compel him to trust You fully, submit to You fully and rely on You fully.

Lord, I pray that You would shield Jason from any insecurities, fears and anxieties that would creep into his mental space. I pray that You would always remind him of his value in You, and for Your glory.

Father, please surround Jason Nelson with people that will be for him– not for his gifts and talents, nor for his roles and positions, but because they see all that You’ve called him to be and because they, selflessly, desire to serve You by supporting him.

Finally, God, please open new doors of opportunities for him, his family and his congregation. Protect him as You lead him into new areas– keep him humbly focused on Your glory and give him the grace, discernment and wisdom for any decisions he’ll need to make.  In Jesus’ Name, I ask You. Amen.

Okay, fam.  Let’s go!  Post your prayers in the comment section, cool???
