Praying from Acts 23:4. Themes: Respect, Authority, Consequences.

Dear God, please help me to always show respect and honor to those in positions of authority, even when I may not agree with them. May I never speak ill of those who are appointed to lead and guide, and may I always remember to treat them with the dignity and respect they deserve. Help me to be a shining example of your love and grace in all that I do. Amen.
