These days it seems I'm only in classroom training, counseling, or at my desk doing admin. I thank God for the chance to go to my denomination's chaplain training in Houston recently for encouragement, ideas, teaching, prayer, worship, and rest. Then I went straight into training for Chaplains on how to conduct marriage and single Soldier retreats. I spent a good deal of time dealing with, counseling, and sharing with an addict both in and out of the hospital. God, may this person's residential treatment be effective, most of all may her faith expressed take root by your Holy Spirit, and may you miraculously free her of her addictions.
Then I had the privilege of going to an amputee's home, listening to him, seeking to give him hope. God, give him strength, courage and hope as he is fitted for a new prosthesis. Give him friends, encouragement, and the drive to keep fighting.
My command team appreciates me, but if I were inspected administratively today, I would fail miserably. God, help me to balance planning an administration with ministry of presence and counseling. Make my office work effective and efficient; that I would work hard to the glory of God, even with files, computer and army documents.
