For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:
Ecclesiastes 3:1 World English Bible
Reflection
Quiet periods in governance and civic work often feel unproductive when measured against constant activity. Yet slower seasons offer crucial space for reflection, spiritual renewal, and deliberate preparation before new challenges arrive. Praying for patience allows leaders, staff, and citizens to recognize God's purpose in moments of rest. May stillness foster wise decision-making, restored strength, and a renewed sense of direction when momentum slows down, trusting that every season carries its own divine value.
Prayer
Pray for peace and patience during slower or quieter seasons, that we would find value and purpose in these times.
