Overburdened, a minister is often so hurried that he scarcely finds time to examine himself, whether he be in the faith. He finds very little time to meditate and pray. Christ in His ministry united prayer with work. Night after night He spent wholly in prayer. Ministers must seek God for His Holy Spirit, in order that they may present the truth aright.—Manuscript 127, 1902. {Ev 91.2}

Overbebyrdet - en prædikant er ofte så skyndsom at han knapt nok kan finde tid til at ransage sig selv, hvorvidt han er i troen. Han finder meget lidt tid til at meditere og bede. Prædikanter må søge Gud for hans Helligånd, for at de kan overbringe sandheden rigtigt. - manuskript 127, 1902.
