WAYS TO PRAY FOR CLERGY
Several years back we came across the following list of ways to pray for the clergy, I believe, in a Newsletter from Intercessors for America.  I say "I believe" because we cut it out and laminated it and it has nothing on to tell me from what publication we cut it.  However, it was written by Gary P. Bergel, therefore I presume it is the same Gary Bergel as mentioned in the "Ways To Pray For People Of Influence" and comes from Intercessors for America

As with the other, there are only 30 items on this list, so when there is a 31st day of a month I chose the item I deemed important and use it for the 31st day.  I chose the 16th item on the list because, for me, it is most important for the clergy to "rightly" use the Word and bring the "whole counsel of God" to the people.  I pray this for myself as well every day.
