I can relate to this thought from Tullian Tchividjian:
For preachers, Monday mornings can be dark. I can’t speak for every preacher, but the devil works hard to discourage me on Monday’s–reminding me of all my faults and failures and how unqualified I am to be doing what I’m doing. I need the gospel every day but sometimes I feel like I need it especially on Monday’s.
Tullian includes a wonderful Gospel prayer from Scotty Smith.

Yep, need it! Especially when a less than good sermon is preached . . . and that seems to be the case for me on this Monday morning.
I have heard pastors say this before. 2 Corinthians 4:12 is the scripture that comes to my mind. Praying that God sustain you, and pastors everywhere who preach the gospel in truth and in power. And, let us not forget their families.
