… saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”
Luke 22:42 World English Bible
Reflection
Personal ambition and the drive for self-determination often dominate decisions, yet genuine wisdom begins when leaders and citizens yield their preferences to God's higher purposes. Submitting our desires in governance, community work, and daily responsibilities requires humility and deep trust. Ask God to grant decision-makers, civil servants, and ordinary citizens a spirit of surrender. May hearts across every province seek divine guidance over self-interest, valuing integrity and service above personal agenda.
Prayer
Pray for a heart that says, “Not my will, but Yours be done” in every area of life.
