Prayers for the People (13)

This prayer has to do with an election of a bishop, so I will paraphrase it to be a general prayer for new ministers:

13. Almighty God, giver of every good gift: Look graciously on your church, that we may receive a faithful pastor, who will care for your people and equip us for our ministries; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
