Ustedes, sin embargo, no han de ser así (Luc. 22:26).
Orar con sinceridad nos ayudará a descubrir las verdaderas motivaciones que hay detrás de nuestros deseos. Por ejemplo, si queremos ocupar un cargo de superintendencia en el pueblo de Dios, ¿es porque deseamos humilde y sinceramente ser útiles y hacer más por el Reino? ¿O porque anhelamos “tener el primer lugar” o incluso enseñorearnos y dominar a los demás? (3 Juan 9, 10; Luc. 22:24-27.) Si le oramos con franqueza a Dios, él nos ayudará a descubrir si nuestras motivaciones no son del todo puras y a cambiarlas antes de que echen raíces en nuestro corazón. Seguramente, muchas hermanas casadas desean que sus esposos sean siervos ministeriales o superintendentes. Además de orar sobre este asunto, ellas pueden contribuir al progreso de sus esposos comportándose de manera ejemplar. Esto es muy importante, pues lo que dice y
hace la familia de un cristiano influye muchísimo en la opinión que la congregación tiene de él.

You, though, are not to be that way.—Luke 22:26.
Honest prayer to Jehovah regarding our motives can help us to discern the truth about them. For instance, is eagerness to serve in a position of oversight among God’s people really a humble desire to be helpful and to do the most we can for the advancement of Kingdom interests? Or could it be that we want to have “the first place” or even wish to “lord it over” others? (3 John 9, 10; Luke 22:24-27) If we have wrong desires, honesty in praying to Jehovah God can expose them and help us to change before they become firmly entrenched. Christian wives may have a keen desire that their husbands serve as ministerial servants or elders. These sisters may work along with the feelings they express in their private prayers by striving to conduct themselves in an exemplary manner. This is important, for the speech and conduct of a man’s family have a bearing on how he is viewed in the congregation.
Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
