For he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. (Romans 13:4)

Let us pray: Heavenly Father, here is your servant humbly asking for your wisdom and guidance. There are times when stress and external pressures weaken my spirit and affects my attitude towards my work and my workers. Strengthen me Lord when problems come knocking at my door. Shield me with your spirit and will. Let me be the kind of leader who is responsible and wise. Let me be the one who will lead my subordinates to your greater glory. Amen.
