He has put down princes from their thrones. And has exalted the lowly.

Luke 1:52 World English Bible

Reflection

Power can easily corrupt human hearts, creating barriers for vulnerable citizens who lack influence or resources. When arrogance takes root in decision-making, systemic inequities deepen and quiet voices go unheard. Intercession invites divine action into these hidden spaces, bringing balance where human strength fails. Petition God to curb self-serving ambitions among leaders, grant favour to the vulnerable, and establish quiet justice throughout our communities.

Prayer

Pray for God’s hand to intervene in unseen ways, restraining the proud and uplifting the oppressed.
