Don’t put your confidence in powerful people; there is no help for you there. When they breathe their last, they return to the earth, and all their plans die with them. But joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper, whose hope is in the Lord their God.
- Psalm 146:3-5

Lord, wean us from trusting in human strength or powerful leaders - people inevitably fail. Draw us into a full reliance on Your power and establish our faith on You alone.
