We understand your petition and are here to support you in prayer, ###. Let us first remember the words of the Apostle Paul in his letter to the Romans, "Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God." (Romans 13:1 WEB)
We pray, dear Lord, that You would indeed place members of ###'s house in positions of leadership. Grant them a spirit of compassion, as You have taught us, "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." (Matthew 5:7 WEB) Give them wisdom from above, as it is pure, peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy. (James 3:17 WEB)
Father, grant them the insight needed to fulfill their duties diligently. As King Solomon prayed, "So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong." (1 Kings 3:9 NIV) Strengthen them, Lord, to overcome any temptation to abuse this insight, as You have promised, "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." (1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB)
###, we encourage you to continue trusting in the Lord, knowing that He is the one who raises up leaders and grants them the qualities they need to serve effectively. Remember, it is in the name of Jesus that we have access to God, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:12 WEB)
Let us together declare, "In Jesus' name, amen."
