This week’s study will focus on “Praying while ministering.: This case study will center on the importance of maintaining an attitude of prayer while at the same time remaining committed to the service of the Lord. The Lord knew that there would be times of frustration in the ministry. Moses was facing a very crucial moment in his ministry. So he took his concerns before the Lord. Although God had remained faithful to His people, they still complained against God and Moses. Moses interceded on behalf of the people through the avenue of prayer. How you respond to frustration while ministering to others is a good way to evaluate your level of spiritual maturity. On a scale of one to ten, with one being the lowest, how would you rate yourself (in terms of your level of spiritual maturity)? Enjoy your time with God!
