Day One

Covering Our Senior Pastors

As we step into this New Year, we choose not to hold back in prayer, in faith, or in obedience. Today, we come before You to lift our Senior Pastors, Joel Cruz Jr. and Karla Cruz, and their household.

We ask you to stretch them just as you stretch the tent pegs of your people. Strengthen them for the weight of leadership they carry. Guard their hearts, sharpen their discernment, and steady their steps as they lead with courage and conviction. Refresh them deeply, Lord, not with rest alone, but with renewed vision and holy fire.

Cover their home with your peace. Let their marriage remain rooted, united, and protected. Surround their daughters with your wisdom and grace. May they grow secure in who you have called them to be, confident in their identity, and strongly in their faith.

Father, we pray that our Pastors would not lead from overflow alone, but from obedience, willing to expand, to build, and to move forward without fear or hesitation.  May they never shrink back, even when the assignment is heavy. Let them continue to be a clear reflection of your truth, your grace, and your authority.

This year, as a church, we choose not to hold back, and we stand committed to covering our leaders in prayer, honor, and faithfulness.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
