If we are going to live and minister together in spiritually healthy leadership communities, we need to fervently pray that God will rescue us from us, rescue us from the pride that causes us to be more focused on the failure of others than our own, rescue us from our tendency to speak in unwholesome ways when we are disappointed, rescue us from the temptation to replay a failure over and over again in our minds, and rescue us from responding too quickly with the judgment of anger so that we can respond with tender, forgiving grace.
