Being a political leader, or a leader of any description, can be tough, with the stresses and strains of trying to do right by people amid public scrutiny undoubtedly hammering their minds.

Let us pray today that He continues to extend His grace to our political leaders, piercing through their thoughts with His own so that they, too, can enjoy His peace and make decisions according to His will.
