The Word of God for wisdom:
Proverbs 14:13 (NLT)
13 Laughter can conceal a heavy heart, but when the laughter ends, the grief remains.
The Word of God for inspiration:
Psalm 101:1-8 (NLT)
1 I will sing of your love and justice, LORD. I will praise you with songs.
2 I will be careful to live a blameless life— when will you come to help me? I will lead a life of integrity in my own home.
3 I will refuse to look at anything vile and vulgar. I hate all who deal crookedly; I will have nothing to do with them.
4 I will reject perverse ideas and stay away from every evil.
5 I will not tolerate people who slander their neighbors. I will not endure conceit and pride.
6 I will search for faithful people to be my companions. Only those who are above reproach will be allowed to serve me.
7 I will not allow deceivers to serve in my house, and liars will not stay in my presence.
8 My daily task will be to ferret out the wicked and free the city of the LORD from their grip.
The Word of God for encouragement:
John 1:1-5 (ESV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
My prayer:
O sovereign Lord, the giver of every good and perfect gift, how my heart yearns for leaders in our day like King David. Father, what I would pray for our leaders, I would pray for myself. Father, help me to live my life in such a way that I would be seen in your eyes to be blameless.
Father, we know that nothing is too difficult for you. Father, I pray that we as your people will not be negligent in our responsibility to pray for all of our leaders, not just those we agree with. Father, help us to not forget to pray for one another. Surely, if we ever needed the Lord; we sure do need you now. Amen.

1 Timothy 4:4-5 (HCSB)
4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing should be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,
5 since it is sanctified by the word of God and by prayer.
