Heavenly Father, we come asking the blessing of wisdom for our elected officials across the nation. Thank You for giving each an extra measure of enlightenment to govern. May they be strengthened by Your teachings in the Holy Scriptures to better fulfill their duties. May these teachings enlighten their decisions. May they put aside personal ambitions and speak truth in all situations. May God direct their thoughts and behaviors as they strive to govern for the betterment of all the people. We pray for our elected leaders to be your dutiful servants, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
"Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.”

Dear Father, in this new year please help us increase our faith by spending time with You in prayer. By praying and reading your Holy Word we have assurance that in spite of what happens around us and in our difficult situations, You will take care of us. You will help us and keep us because we as your children are far more important to you than the grass of the field. So, thank you Lord for your love and tender care for us. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, [will He] not much more [clothe] you, O you of little faith?
