“You shall not follow a crowd to do evil. You shall not testify in court to side with a multitude to pervert justice.

Exodus 23:2 World English Bible

Reflection

Party pressures can tempt elected representatives to place party loyalty ahead of honest conviction. When members of Parliament find the fortitude to speak truthfully despite political risk, debate becomes constructive and policy reflects genuine integrity. Ask God to grant parliamentarians moral clarity and conviction. May they resist the urge to conform to factional agendas, choosing instead to serve their constituents and governance with unflinching honesty and honour.

Prayer

Pray that rather than remaining partisan, MP’s will have the courage to speak the truth.
