Day 17
Scripture: 1 Peter 2:17 (NASB)
“Honor all people, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king.”
Today’s Prayer:
Holy Father, we praise You as the God who unites diverse peoples into one family. We exalt You for showing us how to honor both You and each other in proper measure.
We acknowledge our failure to balance our various loyalties and responsibilities as citizens. Forgive us when we’ve allowed political differences to damage our unity as Americans.
As Peter instructs, we ask for Your help to honor all people while maintaining proper fear of You alone. Guide our nation to find unity that transcends political divisions. Help us demonstrate respect for authority while keeping our ultimate allegiance to You.
We yield our political passions to Your perfect love, trusting that You can maintain both truth and unity. May our nation find strength in unity even amid our differences.
Amen.
