Prayer point
Pray for leaders to defend the needy and vulnerable
Pray for Government
“Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”
Psalm 82:3-4 World English Bible
Reflection
Vulnerable members of society often bear the heaviest burdens when economic pressure or social hardship strikes. Decisions made by elected leaders directly shape the social safety nets, healthcare services, and housing policies that support those experiencing poverty or disability. Pray for governing officials to show wisdom, mercy, and courageous leadership in defence of the weak as they weigh competing demands. Ask God to give decision-makers a deep concern for the marginalized, ensuring laws and policies uphold justice and dignity for everyone.
Prayer
Pray that those in positions of authority would defend the needy, and protect the most vulnerable in society.
