When can I go and stand before him?

Improvement

Discipline is not about punishment but improvement. If someone has made an innocent mistake don’t be open about it, speak with them privately. And if the leader is honest receive it.

26 It is wrong to punish the godly for being good
or to flog leaders for being honest.

Valuable

Do not sell yourself short. You are valuable.

Read: Matthew 10: 29-31

29 What is the price of two sparrows—one copper coin[a]? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. 30 And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. 31 So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.

Behavior
