    I would appreciate prayer that I would be able to minister in the name and power of Jesus to all of the people in crisis around me.
    I was going to spell out some of the issues, but some of them are so specific to my situation that I would violate the confidences of a number of people I am connected with.
    The issues involved the aftermath of suicide in my near family, the suicidal impulses of a friend (who is now getting help), issues of addiction with some near family members, a very negative medical diagnosis for my wife (not fatal, but will likely end her career prematurely), severe financial pressures, the emotional/spiritual meltdown of a church minister, and major work issues.
    [FONT=&quot]In the midst of all of these things, I am confident that I am in the right place, doing the right thing, as a minister of Jesus. However, I am VERY tired, emotionally exhausted, and don’t seem to have enough time to take care of all of the things I need to manage.[/FONT]

    As the people lifted up Moses' arms for him, I am lifting you up in prayer. You are taking on several hard issues here. They don't all have to be solved today. Just move as God directs you and I am praying for you. And as Jethro told Moses that he needed to delegate his work, perhaps a trusted someone in your circle of friends can help you do what you need to do.
