Just occasionally.....

[Ebenezer]

Hello, and greetings from the UK!

I am Pastor of a small church and, for most of the time, thoroughly enjoy my work.

However, just now and then, I do feel that I would love to be out of ministry and just be an ordinary church member with someone to love me, care for me and encourage me instead of me having to to all the loving, caring and encouraging.

Being single makes it that little bit more difficult as there are times when i just long for someone to come home to - to talk things over with, to pray with, to shout at even.

So, may I encourage you to pray for your church leadership - and tell them you are doing so - It will be a real blessing to them

Regards

Ebenezer

Even Pastors need a Pastor, That is why I'm grateful that my Church has a confessor system (since we have the sacrament of reconcilliation we have to): The benifit is that each of us has a friend and companion in the Lord to cousel us, and to care for us and our spiritual needs.

Consider reaching out to other pastors in your area, form a prayer and comfort group. You could take turns being the leader, and help each other in matters of comfort and faith.
