Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.
Ephesians 6:10 World English Bible
Reflection
Putting one's name on a ballot brings intense scrutiny, exhaustion, and spiritual pressure. Men and women of faith who step into electoral contests need steadfast hearts to maintain integrity, kindness, and conviction throughout demanding campaigns. Interceding for candidates means asking God to grant them wisdom under pressure, protection against discouragement, and clear boundaries for their families. May their witness bring honour to Christ, regardless of political outcomes, as they seek to serve their communities with humility and grace.
Prayer
Pray for the Lord to strengthen and encourage every believer running in this election.
