Pray for government leaders to set aside personal pride
Pray for Government
But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant. Whoever of you wants to become first among you, shall be bondservant of all.
Mark 10:43-44 World English Bible
Reflection
Leadership carries heavy pressures that can tempt elected officials to prioritize reputation or personal standing above humble service. When authority is driven by pride, citizens bear the burden through fractured trust and overlooked needs. Asking God to cultivate genuine humility in elected office encourages leaders to put the welfare of others ahead of personal gain. Seeking hearts marked by selfless commitment helps foster governance that remains attentive to community needs and faithful to the public trust.
Prayer
Pray that both government leaders would have the ability to set aside personal pride and seek the good of the people they serve.
