| Beloved, I will keep this short and merely ask you to pray for me. I feel like the busyness of these last couple weeks with presbytery, church life, and moving has been slowly and subtly squeezing God out of my sight. I feel spiritually dull, and honestly, ministry and sermon prep has become somewhat of a grind. In the midst of it all, I have become overly preoccupied with myself and my to-do lists. I don’t mean to be morose. Nor am I throwing a pity party. This is a confession of personal sin. I need the soul healing that James promises as a result of confessing our sins to one another and soliciting prayer from one another (James 5:16). Your pastor is a weak and sinful man. Please pray that God would graciously renew a right spirit within me! “You also must help us by prayer, so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us through the prayers of many” (2 Cor. 1:11). Yours in Christ, Pastor Nick P.S. I’m thinking I will devote the adult Sunday school class this week to answering any questions you have about the topics we have covered so far regarding worship. Write down a question or two that you have, and come ready for a robust discussion! |
