Today’s Prayer

Lord of all time, we lift up to You the long-term effects of the laws and propositions we’re considering. Your word reminds us in Galatians 6:7, ‘Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.’

Help us to look beyond the immediate benefits and consider the future consequences of our choices. May we remember that our actions today will echo through time, influencing lives in ways we may not fully realize. Grant us foresight to understand how these decisions might shape our communities and nation in the years to come. As we reflect on the implications of our actions, let us be guided by a deep sense of responsibility to those who will follow us. May we sow seeds of justice, compassion, and wisdom that will yield good fruit for generations.

Amen.
