If this was a secular job, I'd be wishing for the weekend to get here ASAP, but this is full time ministry, and weekends actually mean even more ministry to do. So I'm looking forward to my day off on Wed instead. Yes, I'm stressed. And I have no idea why. Sure, some things are moving slower than I want, and there are so many good things to be done, so many plans to be made, but it's not like I didn't face all this before full time ministry. Spiritual attack? Possibly. Being on the front lines also means being a bigger target for the evil one.

I desperately need to recharge in His presence and my QT just now was a lifesaver. Sometimes all we can do is just worship in the face of our stress and burdens. And that's probably all He wants us to do in the face of adversity - to just stay out of His way as He does His thing.
