2. Pastors always face challenges, but with Christ’s help they can succeed. With so
many deciding to quit and others discouraged, it may be that many pastors are
not being persistent and patient in asking for the Lord’s help. Consider this
evidence: Eighty percent of pastors said they spend less than fifteen minutes a
day in prayer (as reported in 2002 by Maranatha Life, “Statistics About
Pastors,” located at www.maranathalife.com/lifeline/stats.htm), and according
to Dr. Krejcir’s surveys, 70 percent reported that the only time they spend
studying the Word is when they are preparing their sermons.
With only 20 percent of pastors spending significant time in daily prayer, is it
any wonder those who don’t pray much have such a distorted view of how to
lead their congregations? As a pastor, I can relate to this. When I spend little
time praying, I see the church through clouded eyes. My vision narrows and
the church looks different to me: I have little compassion for hurting people; I
start feeling overwhelmed; and, like Elijah, I begin to think I am the only one
doing anything for the Kingdom of God. Do not misunderstand what I am
saying.

3. I love the Prison Ministry Resources and I love God’s people: But when you
are spiritually, emotionally, and physically depleted, it is easier to quit than
to fix what needs fixing. It is not long before you find yourself on a slippery
slope downward, and you justify your actions by measuring what you are
doing outwardly rather then by what the Holy Spirit and the Scriptures tell
you.

5. It is hard for me to imagine being called of God to do ministry and waking
up one day no longer having a passion or desire to continue on.I am
convinced that I do not have to be part of these statistics. Having a passion
for ministry, loving the ministry, and enjoying the blessings of the ministry
can be a reality.
Pastors need to reassess their calls to serve, repent before God of their lack
of prayer, stay on their faces until they have a genuine encounter with the
Holy Spirit, allowing Him to anoint their eyes with eye salve so they can see
again (Revelation 3:18), and understand the Biblical principle for ministry in
the local church by realizing that the real measure of ministry is being a
witness and making disciples. That was the commission of Jesus to the
church. That is what the early church was all about.
