On Saturday 12/09/2026, our respected acting Prime Minister Hon Manoa Kamikamica appealed to the citizens to pray for the nation.

I believe including our country’s leaders in our prayers is crucial. Therefore I chose the prayer’s theme: ‘Integrity, Wisdom, and Servant Leadership.’ Vinaka.

“Heavenly Father,

Today, we present to You our cherished nation of Fiji and, above all, the individuals entrusted with the duty of guiding our country.

Lord, You are aware of every heart. You perceive every intention, every decision, every promise made, and every action taken when no one else is observing.

We implore You to examine the hearts of our leaders and purify them of anything that does not contribute to the common good.

𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝, 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲, 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞, 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫.

𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐝𝐨𝐦, 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞.

Father, remind our leaders that holding political office is not a privilege for personal enrichment, but a sacred duty to serve the People of Fiji.

Grant them the bravery to pursue what is right, even when it is challenging or unpopular.

Grant them the wisdom to decide not for political gain, personal interests, or influence by powerful individuals. Instead, base decisions on what benefits families, workers, farmers, youth, the elderly, the vulnerable, and Fiji’s future generations.

Lord, we especially pray for those grappling with the increasing cost of living.

Equip our leaders with the wisdom and resolve to create an economy where ordinary families can afford food, housing, education, healthcare, transportation, and the essential needs of life.

Fortify our healthcare system. Safeguard our doctors, nurses, teachers, civil servants, farmers, workers, and all those who serve our communities.

Grant our leaders the courage to confront issues transparently rather than conceal them, and to provide solutions rather than merely make promises.

Amen.”
