But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.

Acts 5:29 World English Bible

Reflection

Party discipline places immense pressure on elected representatives to align with prevailing narratives, even when personal conscience or constituency concerns point elsewhere. When votes take place in Parliament, choosing principle over partisan loyalty requires deep moral courage. We ask God to give legislators clear conviction, internal strength, and peace when standing up for truth. May leaders be guided by wisdom, integrity, and genuine care for the people they serve rather than short-term political expediency.

Prayer

Pray again for the courage many of these MP's will need to vote against their party narrative.
