“If you want to make everyone happy, don’t be a leader. Sell ice cream.” –Steve Jobs

Prayer

God of tomorrow,

Being a leader of any rank comes with unique challenges. We must be bold in our commitment to the mission and constant in its pursuit, while remaining sensitive to the needs and concerns of all those who share this journey with us. We will not always make friends in the course of our work, yet we pray and believe that the blessings will outweigh the burdens, as we exhort one another to serve as you served, and as we watch for your goodness to abound all around us. Above all else, we ask that you would be the one to lead and accompany us, as one people called by your name. Amen.

Call to Action

Consider my approach to whatever areas of leadership I have been given. How am I balancing my sensitivity to the feelings of others with my commitment to the greater mission to which I am committed?
