Leadership by Prayer

Funny! But felt it's very meaningful. Nate saw the huge challenges facing his team, and decided to take the initiative. He led his team in prayer, with raw honesty and guts. :)

How many times do we, when we see insurmountable challenges, try to lead, encourage or give pep talks that make us look to our own strengths?

Or do we take the initiative to humbly state our brokenness and lead our team in humble prayer, looking to God, who opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble?

Another lesson: Are we willing to try relying on God, even if we've never done so before? This isn't for non-believers only; this is for believers too. If we've never asked His help in our jobs, then we can start there. If not our studies, then start there. If not our relationships, then there. If not our own character struggles, then there.

'Cos wherever you go, He's been there from the start.

Did you ever talk to God above?
Tell Him that you need a friend to love.
Pray in Jesus' name believing that
God answers prayer

Have you told Him all your cares and woes?
Every tiny little fear He knows.
You can know He'll always hear and
He will answer prayer

You can whisper in a crowd to Him.
You can cry when you're alone to Him.
You don't have to pray out loud to Him.
He knows your thoughts

On a lofty mountain peak, He's there.
In a meadow by a stream, He's there.
Anywhere on earth you go
He's been there from the start

Find the answer in His Word; it's true.
You'll be strong because He walks with you.
By His faithfulness He'll change you too
