The image above gives you a pretty good idea of what most pastors feel like on Monday mornings - either weary or discouraged (or both). So take a moment right now to stop and pray for your pastor(s) on this Monday morning (if you are a pastor, pray this for your friends and colleagues in ministry). Pray that today:
- They would have quality time in the Word and prayer
- They would be refreshed and renewed by God
- They would be assured and affirmed in their calling
- They would be reminded of the joys and privileges of pastoral ministry
- They would have the time to read something that will feed their minds and nurture their souls
- They would have a conversation that is edifying and encouraging
- They would enjoy the evening with their families
Now, one more thing: send them an email or a text message (or whatever means of communication you prefer) to encourage them, thank them, and let them know you are praying for them this morning.
