Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.

Psalm 139:23-24 World English Bible

Reflection

Effective leadership begins with humble self-examination before God. When blind spots, unhelpful habits, or misguided priorities remain hidden, decision-making suffers and public trust erodes. Asking the Lord to highlight where adjustments are needed requires genuine humility, yet it opens the door for wiser governance and renewed integrity. We seek divine light on our personal character and actions, asking for the courage to embrace necessary changes and walk steadfastly in paths of righteousness.

Prayer

Pray that God would reveal any areas in our lives that need correction and lead us into His ways.
