Quote:  You haven’t really led until you have become familiar with the stinging barbs of critics.  Chuck Swindoll

Application:

1.     Do you go into leadership expecting criticism?  Do you find yourself criticizing your leaders?  ( i.e. parents, husband, boss, pastor?  Are you vocal with your criticism or silent?

2.    What role does prayer play when you are under attack?  What did you learn about imprecatory prayer?  Have you used imprecatory prayer in the past?  Was it biblical or fleshly led?

3.    What do you think about the following statement:  You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed. Once you have reached the halfway point/halftime, are you encouraged to finished or discouraged about the work that needs to be accomplished?
