Gaining The Experience

Yesterday we prayed over the experienced. As I went through the day considering the post, I realized it was just the flip side of experience. 

How it is gained.

By learning. By watching. By doing. And as discussed yesterday, the more you can learn by others trials, the less errors you are likely to make...theoretically.

Helping the lives of others, especially regarding spiritual matters in light of eternity and trial by error is risky. God's guidance is paramount and His grace, a requirement in these circumstances.

On this #associatePastorTuesday, pray in particular for those relatively new to pastoralship. Pray for a willingness to learn from wise and effective pastors. Pray for a guarding of their hearts and minds. May they not be easily distracted nor discouraged from the task at hand and the ministry to which they are called. Pray for a great anointing upon their lives and a greater grace as they grow to serve their circles of influence.
