On Oct. 31st, 1517 Martin Luther nailed the 95 Thesis to the church door which sparked the Reformation. So in honor of Reformation Day, I thought I’d post one of Luther’s prayers that should strike a cord with any who are involved in church leadership:
Lord God, You have appointed me as a Bishop and Pastor in Your Church, but
you see how unsuited I am to meet so great and difficult a task. If I had
lacked Your help, I would have ruined everything long ago. Therefore, I
call upon You: I wish to devote my mouth and my heart to you; I shall
teach the people. I myself will learn and ponder diligently upon You Word.
Use me as Your instrument — but do not forsake me, for if ever I should
be on my own, I would easily wreck it all.
