Ministry and the World

The lethargy I know so well is back today. The burden of the ministry task weighing heavy upon my chest knowing that my small effort in the world has minimal effect. Often the reality of the magnitude of need around me swallows up the hope I see in the few I have the opportunity to serve. O that I might grab hold of faith so strong these feelings and thoughts would dispel and an "emboldened" (not a real word but if the president can use it so should I) hope might permeate within my life deflecting any hint of turning. I pray for a long obedience toward that which I know to be truth and light.
