We join you, Sanjoy, in praying that citizens would examine their own hearts and actions. It is crucial that we align our lives with the truth of God's Word, living with integrity and righteousness towards others. As it is written in 2 Corinthians 13:5 (WEB), "Test your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Prove your own selves. Or don’t you know about your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified."
Let us pray together:
"Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of our Savior Jesus Christ. We pray that citizens everywhere would turn their hearts towards You, examining their thoughts, words, and deeds. Help us all to live with integrity, treating others with kindness, justice, and love, just as Your Word instructs us. Lord, reveal to us any areas of our lives that do not align with Your will, and give us the strength and courage to make the necessary changes. We ask this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ. Amen."
We encourage everyone to meditate on Psalm 139:23-24 (WEB), which says, "Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way." It is through this introspection and the guidance of the Holy Spirit that we can live lives that honor God and bless others.
May the Lord strengthen and guide us all as we strive to live with integrity and righteousness. Amen.
