Pray for the Musicians

When you go to church, what do you pray?

Who do you pray for?

Do you pray for your family?

Do you pray for your children?

Do you pray for your pastor and leaders?

How about the musicians and media team?

Its super easy to go to church each week and have zero stress about if the video presentation will cue up. Or what will happen if you hit a bad chord during communion.

Well, musicians have a lot to think about. Many talented individuals can often run through a service on autopilot. But the very best are staying prayerful to discern and calculate every beat, note and cadence.

So here is my charge to each of us…

Pray for the musicians.

Ask the Spirit to guide them in every way. Music and media are important parts of a worship service. Can you imagine showing up with nothing to look at, no one to lead you in song or no music?

Musicians often feel judged, unappreciated and misunderstood. Pleasing the pastor is never ending battle. And God forbid if they ask for a paycheck. Rather than make things more difficult, let’s rally together to call on the Holy Spirit to fully endow our men and women minstrels.

I recently read a great article called 3 Ways To Serve The Church As a Drummer. It offered some great ideas for how we can minister to those who minister to use week after week:

Pray for your musicians.

Pray that God would continually mold them into the kind of leaders that God wants to use.

Pray that God would bless their children and marriages as they lead us.

Pray that God would give them vision for the churches music ministry.

Pray that God would persevere them in the faith.

Okay, I’m done writing. Stop now and put this into action. PRAY.
