A Pastor's Prayer

From Martin Luther:

Lord, you have placed me in your church as an overseer and pastor. You see how unfit I am to administer this great and difficult office. Had I previously been without help from you, I would have ruined everything long ago. Therefore I call upon you. I gladly offer my mouth and heart to your service. I would teach the people and I would continue to learn. To this end I shall meditate diligently on your Word. Use me, dear Lord, as your instrument. Only do not forsake me; for if I were to continue alone, I would quickly ruin everything. Amen. (Martin Luther, Lectures on Genesis)

HT: Justin Buzzard

Amen, Darryl. I'm glad I read this before refining the Bible study I've prepared for this evening. Ian.
