Father, you promised to give us shepherds after your heart. We thank you for the undershepherd of our church and for the many years Pastor and Sister Maxwell have served. Lord even as we thank you for Pastor and Sister Maxwell, we continue to pray also for the pastor you are sending to our congregation. We pray that even as you prepare Pastor and Sister Maxwell during this season of transition, you prepare the heart of the next pastor for the congregation you are bringing them to. Help them hear your call for them to come to Lake Providence just as you are walking with Pastor Maxwell and preparing his heart for the season of change to come. Lord, we trust you for the future of this church and its spread of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Thank you, Father, in Jesus Name. Amen.
