A Pastor's Prayer

A Pastor's Prayer:

I would be true, for there are those who trust me;

I would be pure, for there are those who care;

I would be strong, for there is much to suffer;

I would be brave, for there is much to dare.

As quoted in J. Beeke, Overcoming the World, p. 170. This quote would well fit for all Christian husband and fathers as well.
