Leadership is hard, often overwhelming, and even intimidating. There are so many different approaches and views on how to do it well, and so many different contexts, organizations, and issues in which it is happening. Added together, this can result in significant struggle. Often, we can feel like Solomon when his father David passed away and he was about to become the king, when he said,
“Now, Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David. But I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties. Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number. So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?” 1 Kings 3:7-9
