Prayer point
Pray for reliance on God as provider and protector
Pray for Government
It is better to take refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in man. It is better to take refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in princes.
Psalm 118:8-9 World English Bible
Reflection
When challenges press upon a society, the temptation to seek security solely in state programs or human ingenuity grows strong. While civil institutions carry legitimate responsibilities, ultimate stability and provision rest in God. Asking for humble hearts allows leaders and citizens alike to acknowledge finite human wisdom. May faith anchor confidence in the Lord's enduring care, guiding every endeavour with wisdom, gratitude, and genuine dependence upon divine favour.
Prayer
Pray that God would continue to be provider and protector and that we would look to Him rather than looking to government or to our own abilities.
