Hebrews 4:12 tells the reader that not only is the Word of God living and powerful, but it’s also sharper than any two-edged sword. The truths in God’s Word are needed more today than ever. However, there has been so much political polarization, which has grown in intensity, that trying to have a discussion about anything categorized as controversial, whether political or religious, is nearly impossible. In some cases, it has destroyed friendships and family relationships. 

Prayer prompt: Lord, please let Your Holy Spirit go before the pastor and prepare hearts to receive what the pastor has to say before it’s said. Just as You taught the mouth of Moses what to say, please also help the pastor in this way, and help this leader to rest in the promises of Your Word and be faithful when speaking.
