"If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you."

~ James 1:5 (NIV)

Today’s Reflection

Today’s Prayer

Lord, as we begin this 30-day challenge, we come to you and pray for wisdom for all those running for election, those who will be elected, and those who are remaining in office.

Your Word says, in the book of James, that if anyone lacks wisdom, they should ask you, and you will give generously. We pray now that our leaders will have the humility to seek you and ask for wisdom and that you will grant them discernment in their decision-making, both during their campaigns and in office. May they seek Your guidance in all matters, big and small. Let Your wisdom prevail over their human understanding.

We ask that You bless our leaders with clarity of thought, depth of insight, and the courage to make decisions that honor You and serve the people. In times of confusion or conflict, may they turn to You as their ultimate source of wisdom.

Amen.
