Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching.

Hebrews 10:24-25 World English Bible

Reflection

Elected representatives and community leaders face constant demands, often leaving little space for genuine human connection or thoughtful support. Seeking the discernment to offer meaningful encouragement helps bridge deep divisions. When leaders receive steady, gracious support, decisions are made with greater care and mutual respect. Ask for wisdom to reach out across differences, offering kindness that strengthens civil relationships and fosters goodwill in decision-making halls.

Prayer

Pray for the wisdom to be a source of comfort and encouragement, and for the courage to build meaningful connections that reflect God’s grace and kindness.
