Since I began leading a Prayer Room Team about 5 months ago a lot has changed in me. I began the team because I was asked to and I thought that it would be a great place for me to connect more to the Prayer Room, lead people that need leading and (though I’m not supposed to admit this, I also joined to) work my way up the ‘leadership ladder.’
I continually find myself wrestling against the inner voice telling me that I should be more noticed or recognized or whatever. But deep down I know that God is un-interested in my position.
He is only interested in my response to the circumstances that He is custom tailoring just for me.
On the flip side: I am so thankful to have this chance to really grow in service and meekness. To spur others on by example because that’s the only way.
The only way I can be a good leader to empower those I’m leading to do what they are called to with all their strength.
The best thing I can do is get underneath them and push them as far and deep into God as I can.
