Several times in the past week I’ve either interacted with or heard about pastors who are experiencing disability in their families. Whether experiencing disability in themselves or in a family member, those pastors live in even more of a fish-bowl than most people.
My struggles, discouragement and disappointment related to disability happen in the relative anonymity of the pews.
Our pastors living with disability in themselves or a family member are in the spotlight all the time, with the added responsibility of helping and leading their people through this issue. I know God will supply every need, and that particular need just feels so heavy today.
Let us persist in prayer for them and their families and their churches.
And an email now and then letting them know of your prayers and affection might be helpful, too!
Amen! We need lots of prayer in our fish bowl life – http://carynsthoughts.blogspot.com/2008/03/fishbowl.html
,,,And it may not be so much the fishbowl issue,,,the fact it that our very faith is being tested to the breaking point both personally and within our families. I know that may not be what you want to hear about your church leaders, but we need to speak the truth in love to you still and so we will. Please pray for wisdom and strength from our Sovereign Lord Jesus.
Thank you,
