Today, we pray for our leaders

Lord Jesus, on this day we bring to You leaders of our homes, churches, countries, organisations and offices.

Strengthen those of us who are called to be leaders. Amen.

Lord, when You breathe life into our losses, they become precious gains. Help us to experience that and more importantly, recognise and thank You sincerely for that. May no child of Yours despair today over anything that he or she has lost. May we keep our eyes focused on what lies ahead – victory for...
