Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, in reverent humility:

“An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient. Since an overseer is entrusted with God’s work, he must be blameless – not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.”
(Titus 1:6-9)

Oh, Jesus.

These are high and holy standards.

Who among us is equal to such a task?

Everyone fit for the job

would feel totally unworthy of it.

Give each one You’ve called

the courage to say yes!

and make me a prayer warrior in his behalf.
