I promise you that God has a way out and if you seek Him with all your heart and search His word, you will find it. If you’re struggling with offense toward God or people or with bitterness over issues you’ve encountered as a leader, I want to assure you, there is a way out.
In humility, turn to God and ask Him for help.
This may sound overly simplistic, but I can tell you from experience that things will begin to change as you pray. Acknowledge His wisdom and perfect leadership over your life and ask Him to align your mind with truth. Let His Word minister its healing power to your soul and spirit.
As my years of worship leading continue to go by, I am seeing more and more reasons why God has given me my team. As worship leaders, He has given us such an amazing opportunity. If you’ve been leading for a while, maybe you’ve already realized the “burden of leadership,” but I want to invite you into a fresh understanding and perspective that it’s one of the best gifts God has given you.
When issues arise within your worship team, instead of grumbling about them, thank God for the gift of leadership that you’ve been given. Ask Him to give you grace and wisdom regarding how to best deal with the issue or person and ask Him to give you His heart in the midst of it.
