Prayer point
Pray that government leaders reconsider a new policy directive
Pray for Government
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who is wise listens to counsel.
Proverbs 12:15 World English Bible
Reflection
Policy decisions and administrative guidelines shape daily governance, yet initial directives do not always account for practical consequences. When cabinet ministers and departmental officials remain open to fresh counsel, potential oversights can be corrected before causing unintended hardship. Intercede for decision-makers to possess the humility and discernment needed to pause, evaluate constructive feedback, and adjust policy course. Ask God to grant civil servants clarity, courageous flexibility, and a steady commitment to serve every community with fairness, favour, and genuine wisdom.
Prayer
Pray that the government would re-think this new directive.
