Are you struggling to accept ministry life? Do you feel disillusioned with ministry or with the choices you and your husband have made in your ministry life?
Take time to reflect on the following questions. Write down answers and responses as honestly as you can.
- Deep down do I question God’s love for me because of the difficulties of ministry life?
- Do I secretly think (or wonder if) my life would be easier or better if my husband was not a pastor? (every pastor’s wife has thought this at least once)
- Am I struggling to really believe God’s will is good, acceptable and perfect for me and my family? (Romans 12:1-2)
- Do I really believe God is making all things in my life work together for good? (Romans 8:28)
Have ministry life struggles caused me to doubt the goodness of God, His will, or His love for me?
How does my Heavenly Father’s love and goodness supersede the very real struggles and disappointments of ministry life?
In what ways do I need to lay hold of Grace to trust God’s will even when it makes no sense to me?
