Ability

I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

2 CORINTHIANS 12:9 ESV

Take a new grip with your tired hands and strengthen your weak knees. Mark out a straight path for your feet so that those who are weak and lame will not fall but become strong.

HEBREWS 12:12-13 NLT

We are not saying that we can do this work ourselves. It is God who makes us able to do all that we do.

2 CORINTHIANS 3:5 NCV

After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

1 PETER 5:10 NASB

Lord, thank you for equipping me with the skills and abilities necessary to accomplish your plans. I want to strengthen my team by helping individuals develop and use their natural abilities. Please help me notice who is the best fit for certain roles and tasks.

What abilities do you already possess and what do you need more of to be a strong leader?

Acceptance

“The Father gives me the people who are mine. Every one of them will come to me, and I will always accept them.”

JOHN 6:37 NCV

“The LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”

1 SAMUEL 16:7 NKJV

If God is for us, who can be against us?

ROMANS 8:31 ESV

In love he chose us before he laid the foundation of the universe! Because of his great love, he ordained us, so that we would be seen as holy in his eyes with an unstained innocence.

EPHESIANS 1:4 TPT

Father, let me see others the way you see them. I want my team to feel comfortable around me, so help me to be approachable. While still maintaining a high level of expectation, I want to make others feel accepted and an important part of what we are trying to accomplish collectively.

Is there someone on the outside of one of your circles who needs to be included?

Anger

Don’t get angry. Don’t be upset; it only leads to trouble. Evil people will be sent away, but those who trust the LORD will inherit the land.

PSALM 37:8-9 NCV

Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.

JAMES 1:19-20 NIV

“Don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry.

EPHESIANS 4:26 NLT

Go, help me to listen before I speak and pause when I feel anger rising up in me or in others. Lord, I need you to strengthen me to be a self-controlled leader in what I say and how I say things especially when anger rears its ugly head. I don’t want to allow stress and frustration to lead to firing off words that hurt others. And if I do, please help me to humbly go back and apologize.

Do you need to make things right with someone who bore the brunt of your anger?

Anxiety

LORD, you are my shield, My wonderful God who gives me courage. I can lie down and go to sleep, and I will wake up again, Because the LORD gives me strength. Thousands of troops may surround me, but I am not afraid.

PSALM 3:3, 5-6 NCV

“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.”

JOHN 14:1 NLT

Give all your worries to him, because he cares about you.

1 PETER 5:7 NCV

I was desperate for you to help me in my struggles, and you did!

PSALM 120:1 TPT 10

When anxious thoughts begin to stir in my mind, Father, I want to be disciplined to hand over my concerns to you right away. You are my strength and my shield. You give me courage to face what needs to be done, and you also carry my burdens for me. Even when things are desperate, I trust you with it all.

What is keeping you up at night that you need to turn over to the Lord?

Assurance

To him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory… for ever and ever! Amen.

EPHESIANS 3:20-21 NIV

All of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!”

2 CORINTHIANS 1:20 NLT

These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

1 JOHN 5:13 NKJV

Good God, I know you are able to do immeasurably more for me. Just look at this leadership role you have placed me in. I have the assurance that you have fulfilled your promises to me in the past, and you will do it again. The testimony of your faithfulness in my life encourages me to move ahead with confidence because I know you will continue to be faithful.

How has God fulfilled his promises in your testimony?

Belief

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Whoever believes in him is not condemned.”

JOHN 3:16, 18 NIV

To all who did accept him and believe in him he gave the right to become children of God.

JOHN 1:12 NCV

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.

ACTS 16:31 NKJV

“All things are possible for the one who believes.”

MARK 9:23 NASB

“Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

JOHN 20:29 ESV

Thank you, loving Father, for the eternal life you freely offered to me and to anyone else who believes in you. I don’t want to get so busy or focused on other things that I forget there are those around me, maybe even on my team, who don’t believe. Do they truly know who you are, that you dearly love them, and that you have an amazing plan for them which includes an eternity in your presence? Help me share the gospel with those you place in my path.

Is there an unbeliever under your leadership you can be praying for regularly?
