Tim Kerr, the pastor of Sovereign Grace Church Toronto, recently wrote a trio of blog posts on the role of intercessory prayer in pastoral ministry. His series appeared on the Desiring God website and you can read all three of the posts here:

• Pastors, Devote Yourselves to the Word and Prayer: Part 1 (Sept 28)
• Pastors, Devote Yourselves to the Word and Prayer: Part 2 (Sept 29)
• Pastors, Devote Yourselves to the Word and Prayer: Part 3 (Sept 30)

 Tim is also the author of the free 196-page ebook Take Words with You: A Manual for Intercession (2010), a useful tool for intercessory prayers that echo Scripture.
