In ministry I’ve learned that many people may not be willing to assist you. There seems to be more people willing to enjoy the ‘fruits’ of your labor than help you prepare and cultivate it.
Though we may want thousands of people to support our missions, our focus must be on our specific calling. God will provide EVERYTHING we need to fulfill our purpose in Him. He is faithful, just, and will not leave us without the support we need.
Keep your eyes on your purpose and mission – God will take care of the rest.

Joshua 1:6-8 – Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
These are the words the Lord spoke to Joshua before leading the Israelites into their promised land. The Lord instructed Joshua to do four things:
Everyday we fulfill roles as parents, workers, co-workers, leaders, followers, friends, etc. Each role requires various behaviors and responsibilities to address whatever issue that may arise. Regardless of what may happen, handle your situations in a professional manner.
Being a professional requires discipline, dedication, and integrity (among other things). Don’t lose your composure because events don’t go as planned. If you are unprofessional, you will only bring discredit to yourself, the organizations you support, and most importantly God.
Give each situation the same amount of attention, respect, and love you want others to give to you. Set the example. Be the professional.
