If you are tired of feeling inferior because people are trying to keep you in line or minimize who you are and what you can do, pray for them. You will also stop exhausting yourself by trying to justify your existence. My limited wardrobe had never bothered me before, since Stuart and I had been working in Europe with street kids who didn't care what I wore. But I began to pray for the women who made me feel I was dressed out of the missionary barrel. My energy to love and serve them returned.
R stands for recommitment .
When we find ourselves pushing the ministry away from our family times and resenting the intrusions, we need to reclaim our calling. When we recommit to Christ and his cause, we will not feel like a cheerleader on the sidelines but like a team player as much a part of the ministry as our partner. E stands for encouragement . Find a friend in or out of the church or mission with whom you can pray and share encouragement and accountability. D is for determination , as in determining to do something to combat the fatigue.
