Every church has a pastor; someone who calls the shots, leads the congregation, and feeds the congregation spiritually.  While driving to work the other day, I began to think about the relationship a pastor has with his congregation and then I thought about my relationship with God.  I am a pastor of one; my congregation consists of me, myself and I.  My job as pastor of myself has many similarities to the pastor of a church.   It is my responsibility to be a responsible steward over what God has placed in my care; resources, money, etc.  Just as a pastor educates his flock it is my responsibility to see that I daily feed myself spiritually in Bible study and prayer.  I also have to be a motivational speaker to myself at times; encouraging myself to continue on when I am tired, week, and alone.  It is my job to remind myself of what Christ has done for me and that this means I can live a victorious life here upon earth.

Pastors can be kind loving individuals who play major roles in our lives but when it comes to a personal relationship with God you have to be your own pastor.  We see our church pastors two to three times a week, the rest of the time we still have to live a life acceptable unto the Lord.  Start to preach to yourself, teach yourself, pray for yourself; become a pastor of one.  Your congregation can't do it without you.
