Lord, be patient with those of us whom you have called to preach. I know I have fallen short. Sometimes, I have been too busy and therefore not responded in the best way to circumstances. Sometimes, I have been too lazy to do my homework. I know I have failed you when this has been true. I pray, then, for energy of body and mind with which to keep the faith you have called me to do. Even in retirement, I may have another way to fulfill your calling. I give thanks to you for this calling and pledge to renew my efforts to be faithful to that calling. Amen.
