There is one who speaks rashly like the piercing of a sword, but the tongue of the wise heals.

Reflection

Harsh rhetoric quickly divides communities, turning important debates into hostile conflicts where trust breaks down. When leaders communicate with humility and clarity, words build understanding rather than resentment. Asking for steady boldness allows leaders to address difficult realities without relying on fear or division. Ask God to grant elected representatives the character to speak truthfully and kindly, fostering genuine unity across every province and territory as decisions are weighed.

Prayer

Pray that God would give them the courage to speak truth clearly and respectfully, without fear, and with wisdom that brings people together instead of driving them apart.
