Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Romans 12:21 World English Bible
Reflection
Interceding for leaders easily turns into a checklist of grievances when difficulties multiply. Focusing exclusively on opposing what is wrong drains spiritual endurance and leaves little room to celebrate progress. Shifting our posture toward asking for wisdom, hope, and divine protection invites constructive transformation into government offices and community leadership. Intercessors can actively petition for open doors to share truth, encourage integrity, and ask for heavenly favour upon every decision-maker.
Prayer
Pray according to the same principles: pray for the advancement of the Kingdom of God and for the release of good things (love, hope, boldness, protection, open door for the gospel, etc.). Do not spend the majority of your attention on praying against bad things.
