Sunday nights are rough on pastors, and Mondays are even worse. Not only does a pastor feel exhausted, but he questions himself. He wonders how Sunday really went. He wonders if his sermon spoke.

Few people understand how quickly a pastor can begin to feel downhearted, even when things are going well at church.
