And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
Ephesians 4:32 World English Bible
Reflection
Grudges and unresolved grievances can quietly erode trust between leaders, communities, and citizens. When political debates become personal, past wrongdoings often turn into permanent barriers to meaningful cooperation. Choosing to extend mercy instead of keeping a tally of past errors allows genuine wisdom to guide governance. Ask God to give elected officials and public servants the courage to lay down old resentments, pursue reconciliation, and move forward together with hearts free of bitterness.
Prayer
Pray for the strength to forgive, release offenses, and let go of keeping score.
