9. Make much of prayer. We often grow weary in our service to the Lord because we try to do everything ourselves. The Lord wants to help you! Does your team recognize that prayer is a priority in your life? Is prayer a priority for your team? The team that prays together stays together!
10. Don’t take yourself and those around you too seriously. You’ll breathe easier in ministry if you learn to lighten up. Take time to have some fun. Learn to laugh at yourself.
Start practicing these ten pointers and you’ll find yourself breathing easier in ministry. Don’t try to tackle them all at once. Pick two that you will start working on this week. Then in a few weeks, pick two more, and so on.
My staff and I will be working through these 10 pointers in the coming month. Thanks for sharing them!
I recently wrote about creating room to breathe in children’s ministry over at http://westcoastcm.wordpress.com/2009/04/22/the-space-between/
