Ellen White's Leadership Principles on PRAYER
The leader sees in every difficulty a call to prayer: "The path of [women] who are placed as leaders is not an easy one. But they are to see in every difficulty a call to prayer" (Prophets and Kings, 31).
The leader prays for a quick mind, a large heart, and a tender spirit: "The wisdom that Solomon desired above riches, honor, or long life, God gave him. His petition for a quick mind, a large heart, a tender spirit was granted" (Prophets and Kings, 31).
The leader's power and strength for service come through prayer: "Without this daily communion with God no human can gain power for Service" (Review and Herald, 1910).
The leader's age, power, and position don't guarantee holiness of character: "Position does not give holiness of character. It is by honoring God and obeying His commandments that a man is truly great" (Prophets and Kings, 30, 31).
