Joshua 1:9 — “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Lord, we pray that our leaders would have the strength and courage to do what is right, even when it is difficult. Help them to stand firm in their convictions and to resist pressure to compromise. Give them the boldness to make decisions that honor You, even when it is not popular. Let them be guided by a strong moral compass and a deep desire to serve the people. Encourage their hearts and remind them that You are with them, giving them the courage they need. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
