16. Bromsgrove District Council
Jesus was born in a small town. He grew up under the authority of local leaders and officials who managed the majority of his daily life. We lift up our local leaders today. We pray for our chairman, Sam Evans and the other councillors who serve our community, whatever their party.
Local politicians receive a lot of abuse but they are people seeking to serve local people. Pray that people remember that they are human.
Pray for the Christians working as councillors and other roles in the council, that God will strengthen them to be a faithful servant and witness in their work place, and a voice that is willing to speak up at the right time.
The district council is responsible for bins, housing, planning, community transport, registrars, street cleaning, tree maintenance, parking and other services. Strengthen the teams with wisdom and grace for the heavy burdens they carry. May they manage their teams and projects with love. Keep their hearts pure and their eyes turned toward your face as they work in the best interests of the people they are called to serve.
Bromsgrove District Council will likely cease to exist as part of a major restructuring of local government over the next 4 years ending the split between council and district councils. Pray for everyone involved in this process.
