prayer for Wisdom for public Officials
Scripture for Reflection and Preparation
Ephesians 6:12 “12 For our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world powers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil
in the heavens.”
Psalm 141:5 “5 let the righteous one strike me— it is [an act of] faithful love; let him
rebuke me—it is oil for my head; let me not refuse it. Even now my prayer is against the evil acts of the wicked.”
James 4:7 “7 Therefore, submit to god. But resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.”
