Ways to Stay Encouraged While Serving in Ministry

Always Remember the Why; GOD has called us to this work. We do what we do for the glory of GOD and not for the praise of man.

Get Connected to Community; Surround yourself with those who will love, affirm and support you and remind you that you’re doing a GREAT JOB! Remember, serving in ministry is costly. Be intentional about surrounding yourself with family, trusted friends, and advisers who will give you the extra push you need.

Focus on what’s working; Spend time building, developing, and improving what is working and remind those serving with you that the team is about great work. Focusing on what’s not working can drain you of your time and energy and can be an entryway for discouragement to creep in.

Delegate; Everything does NOT require your attention; learn to empower others and allow them to flex their leadership muscles. We should never make serving in ministry about us and about what others can do for us but about what we can do for GOD together.

Establish boundaries; NO is a complete sentence and requires no explanation. Burnout comes as a result of poor boundaries and trying to shoulder the responsibility of doing all the things on your own.

Get Help; Train, develop, and leverage volunteers and other team members to help you. Be ok with things not being handled the way you would do it; instead, be encouraged there are others willing and able to assist you.
