Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 World English Bible
Reflection
Decisions made in government touch every community, and the spirit behind those choices matters deeply. When discourse becomes sharp or divided, choosing patience and kindness requires intentional grace. We ask God to ground leaders and public servants in enduring love, so that interactions remain respectful, listening remains sincere, and governance reflects active care for every neighbour. May this posture guide debates, policy work, and daily interactions.
Prayer
Pray for love to be the defining posture of this season - love that is patient, kind, and steadfast.
