Here are a weeks' worth of random thoughts I came across a few years ago. May they help to keep you strong as they have done for me ...
SUNDAY - God used your last sermon or teaching lesson to impact someone’s life no matter how you think it went.
MONDAY - Many people don’t tell you this, but they are thankful for your sacrifice and your dedication.
TUESDAY - The storm you’re in isn’t in the forecast forever. It will pass, the sun will come out, and things will turn around.
WEDNESDAY - God has called you to be faithful, not “successful.” Don’t let your worth be tied to whatever level of success you think you do or don’t have. Give ministry your all, but let God handle the results.
THURSDAY - For every tenacious critic, there are exponentially more people who support you and trust you.
FRIDAY - Conflict is the passageway to relational breakthrough. You can navigate conflict – be quick to listen and slow to anger. Lead with mercy. And in no time, you’ll have an advocate rather than a perceived enemy.
SATURDAY - The impact your ministry is going to have and has had a positive ripple effect on entire families.
Stay the course Pastor, because you're loved ("But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us." - Rom. 8:37 NASB 2020) and being prayed for every day ("Christ Jesus is He who died, but rather, was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us." - Rom. 8:34 NASB 2020)
