Day 5
Scripture: Proverbs 29:4 (NLT)
“A just king gives stability to his nation, but one who demands bribes destroys it.”
Today’s Prayer:
Most Holy God, we exalt You as the source of all truth and integrity. We praise Your name for being unchanging and trustworthy, the same yesterday, today, and forever.
We repent of the cynicism we’ve often held toward our government, and the times we’ve expected or accepted ethical compromises as “just the way things work.” Forgive us for not holding ourselves and our leaders to the highest standards of integrity.
As Proverbs reminds us, ethical leadership brings stability to a nation. We ask that You would strengthen the moral courage of our Congressional leaders. Help them resist the subtle temptations of power and the pressures that could compromise their integrity. Grant them unwavering commitment to truth and transparency in all their dealings.
We yield this prayer to Your sovereign oversight, trusting that You can establish righteousness in our government. Even when we cannot see behind the scenes, we trust You are working to uphold truth and justice in our nation.
Amen.
