And, apart from other things, there is the daily pressure on me of my anxiety for all the churches. Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to fall, and I am not indignant? If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.

In the midst of all my personal problems, do my priorities remain with those You have given me to shepherd and minister to? Or do I wrap myself in my own troubles and give the poor sheep short shrift? Lord, help me to keep my attention and priorities on serving others, on loving my neighbors and bringing Your Shalom to all men.
