I used to get quite a lot of depression when I was younger. One day I learnt an important lesson. I was desperately trying to pray and then felt I could not pray anymore. I just said one more prayer, " O Lord I can't hold on to You any longer. Please hold on to me." That is about the best prayer any of us can pray. It is so important to realize that we can do nothing for ourselves. All our best efforts fail. We just need that cry for help which says, "Please hold on to me Lord Jesus."
First of all thanks to Fat Prophet for your interest. I see from your blog you are having trouble commenting. To get back to my assessed service. Criticism albeit constructive is harder for some to take than others. I felt a little crushed after my assessed service but then remembered I had recorded it on my dictaphone. I listened to it all through and although my assessors were quite right about me speaking a little quickly and rushing from item to item, I was actually very pleased with the content of my sermon and how I presented it. So I have decided to take heart. I highly recommend other trainees to record your services. You can hear your good points and your bad and there is no argument about it, it is all caught on the recorder.
