Today’s Prayer

Sovereign Lord, as we consider the potential benefits and drawbacks of these propositions and laws, we are reminded of Your words in 1 Thessalonians 5:21: “but test them all; hold on to what is good.” Your guidance is crucial as we navigate the complexities of these issues.

We pray for the ability to critically examine each measure, taking into account its impact on every member of our society. Help us recognize both the potential good and the possible harm that may arise from these decisions, as this will allow us to make informed choices.

Grant us the wisdom to foresee the long-term effects of our actions on future generations. Guide us in choosing paths that truly benefit our communities, especially the most vulnerable among us, ensuring that no one is left behind in our pursuit of justice and equity.

May our choices reflect Your love and care for all Your children, reminding us of our responsibility to uphold the dignity of every individual. Amen.
