Don’t put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help. His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish. Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yahweh, his God:

Psalm 146:3-5 World English Bible

Reflection

Political platforms and election promises frequently offer competing visions for governance, tempting citizens to anchor their ultimate hopes in human institutions. Yet no government policy or elected official can fulfill the role that belongs to the Creator. When allegiance shifts away from divine wisdom toward partisan agendas, security becomes fragile. Ask God to ground the hearts of believers in unwavering faith in Him. Pray that decision-makers recognize their own limitations and seek divine guidance over purely political expediency.

Prayer

Pray that our trust would be in God alone, not in parties, policies, or human leaders.
