not quick-tempered, Titus 1:7c

Pastors need to be even tempered and rational, especially when the people they minister to are chaotic and angry. The insults they might receive from breaking up a fight, for example, are rarely directed at them, but it would be easy for them to internalize it and take it personally. It takes a very wise man to be able to evaluate a situation without becoming so emotionally involved.

Pray that your pastor will be level-headed and even-keeled throughout his ministry at home and with church people.
