 And then we ourselves will continue to give ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word. So here's a good thing for pastors to remember. It's not your job to call on people every day, to visit people every day, to hold their hand every day and try to make them feel better about themselves. You need to commit yourself to prayer and teaching God's word, studying God's word, and let the deacons handle that sort of detail. So if we continue in this verse, Paul tells Timothy to exercise faith.
