Pray with me:
Father, you have placed a longing in our hearts to be led by a just and good ruler. Show us your Son today. Let us put all of our hope in him. Every human leader fails. With the Psalmist we say, “We will not trust in princes, in mortals who cannot save. But our help and hope is in you Lord" (Psalm 146-3-5). All day long we hope in you. All our lives long we hope in you. You will not disappoint us. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
