I don’t want to sound like a complainer, but the last time you led worship, I was lost.
I wanted to worship, but distractions abounded. I didn’t know what to do.
I’ll be the first to admit, I don’t always love leading worship.
It’s my job. And when something becomes your job, it’s easy to lose your passion for it.

Leading worship is hard.
Not only are you responsible for worshiping God, you need to lead a congregation and lead a band.
Your head may be spinning just thinking about it. But it doesn’t have to.
Think about what you do.
Chances are, someone told you you were good at it.
The reason you are a successful songwriter, worship leader, musician, pastor, or artist is because someone spoke to you. For a moment in time, they stepped outside of themselves and lit up your life.
Your words have more power than you realize.
