Dear Lord, I pray that you help me understand the weight of my responsibility as a leader and a servant of your people. Help me to recognize my own shortcomings and the need for constant repentance and sacrifice for my own sins. May I always be willing to offer sacrifices for the sins of those I serve, and may I do so with a humble and contrite heart. Thank you for your grace and mercy, and for the privilege of serving your people. Amen.
