The Constitution shapes our society and safeguards our freedoms.
What does the rule of law mean? It gets tossed around a lot, but many people are not familiar with it nor where it derives. This very rule is a cornerstone of the U.S. Constitution and a fundamental principle that underpins American democracy. It is the foundation of our governance. It affirms that all citizens, institutions, and government entities are subject to the law and held accountable under it.
The rule of law ensures that every person and institution, including the government, is bound by legal principles that are foundational to protecting a society. This is where constitutional adherence plays a critical role, as it ensures that all laws and government actions align with the principles enshrined in the U.S. Constitution, safeguarding individual rights and thereby maintaining the rule of law. In practice, constitutional adherence means that laws passed by Congress, executive orders by the President, and rulings by the courts must all conform to the Constitution.
As the nation wrestles with maintaining freedom, the weaponization of agencies and federal courts, corruption, government overreach, and balancing and checking the power, Americans must choose this election carefully those who will create the next generation of laws.
HOW THEN SHOULD WE PRAY:
- Pray that our leaders will seek justice and righteousness in all their decisions and that God would grant them the courage to stand for what is right and the wisdom to discern the best path forward for our nation.
- Pray for those who serve in our federal courts that they would seek to protect the freedoms and rights that our Constitution guarantees.
- Pray for accountability and transparency in our government’s actions.
- Pray that the citizens of our nation will be granted wisdom and discernment as we prepare to vote this fall.
