If Jesus has not called you like Andrew, Peter, James, John, etc, then why are you in ministry. I still believe that Jesus is hand picking the people that he will use to change the world. Many people go into ministry because that is what there father did or because they like the glitter and glamor or just the prestige of the job title. They go in for selfish reasons, with nothing but themselves in mind.
Ministry is a calling not a profession. There is not enough money in the world to compensate the "hours" that have to be put into the Christian life because it is a 24/7 responsibility. Being a minister of the gospel is not a hat to put on at church and then take off when out of the doors or a time card to clock in and out, it is all day every day. When we compartmentalize Christ, we belittle our calling. It should be the goal of every minister to constantly be aware what Jesus is doing for us and that he wants to do the same for every person that we come in contact with.
