‘God, help me to be a worm-like pastor’ (Jonah 4:7)

 ‘God, help me to be a worm-like pastor’

 

 

“But at dawn the next day God provided a worm, which chewed the vine so that it withered” (Jonah 4:7).

 

 

God, help me not to be a disobedient pastor like Jonah.

 

Help me not to be the pastor who runs away instead of going to the mission field that God sent me.

Help me not be a pastor who forgets God's mission and backslides.

Help me not to be the pastor who doesn’t embrace the souls that God has entrusted to me. 

 

God, help me to be a worm-like pastor.

 

Help me to walk faithfully to the place of the ministry that You have sent me.

Help me to go where God wants me to go even though I am slow like the worm.

Help me to walk like a turtle while looking at the destiny that You gave me.

 

Help me to be driven by the mission that You gave me.

Help me to be driven by the promises Word of God (Jn. 6:1-15; Mt. 16:18).

God, I want to move forward by dreaming only Your vision.

 

Help me to be the pastor who is obedient to Your command.

God, if You want me to only chew the plant, I want to obey your command.

God, help me to feed the flock that You have entrusted me with the Word of God and the tears of prayer.
