10 Ways to Renew (or Keep) Your Passion for Ministry

7. Forgive somebody. Anger and bitterness consume us and rob us of God’s blessings. If you forgive someone, you break one of the enemy’s strongholds in your life. That’s freeing.

8. Take a day off. I almost left this one off the list because I don’t do this well. I do know from experience, though, that worn out, dreary eyes seldom see all that God is doing around you.

9. Plan to go on a mission trip. Turn your heart outward by taking the gospel to needy, hurting and unbelieving people. Go, and you might see the shallowness of your current discouragement.

10. Get gut-wrenchingly honest about your sin. If you have private sin in your life, come clean with somebody. No ministry passion can endure disobedience, as unforsaken sin will ALWAYS eat at your soul.

If you’ve sensed a re-igniting of your ministry passion, how did it happen? Let us learn from you.
