The worst thing thou has to fear is the treachery of thine own heart.

Never be afraid of the world's censure; it's praise is much more to be dreaded.
So the preacher of the gospel asks your prayers: and it is a part of the duties arising out of the relationship between Christian men that those who are taught should pray for those who teach God's Word.
