I’ve been praying a lot for pastors lately.
Pastors give so much of their time, energy, life, family and future to ministry. I’ve rarely known guys in ministry who hold back (and don’t entirely respect the ones who did).
What brings balance to pastors lives is often supposed to be the prayer, support, encouragement and respect that scripture tells us to give preachers and teachers of the word.
Sometimes it is there and often times it isn’t.
I’m grateful to be in a pretty encouraging season… and it has given me the time and energy to pray for lots of my friends and brothers in ministry. I love these guys.
Maybe I’ll get a t-shirt campaign going with some cool digs that say “Have you hugged your pastor today?”
(On second thought, that could be taken the wrong way…)
