Who Can I Be?

More from Peterson's book. In a chapter titled "The Unbusy Pastor," Peterson describes 3 things that will help pastors do significant things with their time. The first of these: "I can be a pastor who prays. I want to cultivate my relationship with God. I want all of life to be intimate - sometimes consciously, sometimes unconsciously - with the God who made, directs, and loves me. And I want to awaken others to the nature and centrality of prayer."

Now, I love this quote. I don't highlight much. But my question is: how would one go about doing this? What statements, what actions, what attitudes, what habits can I cultivate that will help others become a people of prayer?

What thoughts, people?

Paz do Senhor,
Pastor Kyle

How to help others become a people of prayer? Show them that it works. Identify prayer requests that people are willing to share. Learn more about how important it is to TRUST God with our outcome. Understand sometimes we will see the outcome as great and other times we will not understand the good God sees in the answer. Dj
