Gov. Glenn Youngkin, New Virginia governor starts each day with Psalm 121

As governor, Youngkin says he begins each day asking God for help.

"My day really does start with Psalm 121, 'I lift my eyes up to the hills.' and I ask where my help comes from and I know my help comes from the Lord, maker of heaven and earth," Youngkin said.

"There are tough decisions, and there's a big difference between trying to find the right path forward and trying to make everybody happy, and I think if you're doing the latter then we're not doing the job and the job requires tough decisions and tough decisions require discernment." Youngkin says as he seeks the Lord for help, God continues to reveal himself.

Youngkin deflects the glory back to Jesus.

"I have to say what He has been showing me is grace because I'm reminded every day that there was only one perfect person in the history of this planet and it certainly was not me, and He shows me grace every day."

Youngkin believes that he has been given this platform in part to assist restore parental authority over what their children learn in school.

His advice to believers called to run for office

"Don't worry too much because all things are possible with Him and He calls us to be obedient. He doesn't tell us how it's going to turn out, He just calls us to be obedient and I felt from the moment that I told Suzanne 'I'm quitting my job tomorrow' this huge weight came off of me and I felt encouraged in this in every day, every moment.

The first lady of the Commonwealth compares her role to that of a missionary on the mission field.
"I have felt in my heart that my role could be missional and that if I would approach it that way if I would approach people with dignity. If I would treat everyone like they were made in the image of God, and if I wouldn't worry so much about getting it right but rather just serving, that hopefully, we would do a good job," she told CBN News.
