If given the chance, how would you encourage the next president of the United States in their leadership? What are the qualities you would want them to embody? We want to take the Scriptures seriously and pray for the leadership of our country, no matter how easy or challenging that may feel (1 Tim. 2:-4). The Bible points us to character traits required for effective leadership: humility, integrity, courageous peace, and servant leadership. And while we pray these show up in our elected officials, we want them to permeate our own posture, presence, and leadership.
