Leadership is not about position, it is about service under divine authority. Every true leader is a servant first. In this generation, where servant leadership is fast fading, the Church and society need men and women who will lead like Jesus with wisdom, humility, power, and selflessness.
Matthew 20:26 says “Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.”
Many leaders start well, but along the line they forget their assignment to serve, not to be served. Some burn out from pressure. Others fall because of pride. But when a leader anchors his leadership in prayer and total dependence on God, he becomes unshakable.
This is why leaders must pray — not just for success, but to serve well, love genuinely, lead boldly, and finish strong. Whether you’re a church leader, pastor, manager, mentor, team lead, ministry head, or political figure, these 50 powerful prayers for leaders to serve will recharge your spirit, align your motives, and unleash divine grace to lead with power and purity.
Let us pray, not to be seen, but to serve. Not to impress, but to impact. Not to dominate, but to disciple.
