“Lord God, You have appointed me to be a pastor in Your Church.
You see how unfit I am to undertake this great and difficult office,
and were it not for Your help,
I would long since have ruined it all.
Therefore I cry unto You;
I will assuredly apply my mouth and my heart to Your service.
I desire to teach the people,
and I myself would learn ever more and diligently to meditate upon Your Word.
Use me as Your instrument,
only do not forsake me,
for if I am left alone I shall easily bring it all to destruction. Amen. ”

Luther's Pastoral Prayer
Just found this prayer from LUTHER. His prayer as a pastor. I think I need to incorporate it. If you're a pastor, pray it with me. If you're ministering in the church in a different way (i.e. I believe we all can minister in different ways) then use this to pray for your pastor - they need your prayers.
