Praying For Our Leaders

1 Timothy 2:1-4 King James Version

1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

We are asked to pray on their behalf. It does not say pray for the one you like and ignore the one you dislike but to pray. We pray so that God will use them where they are. Maybe they are not saved you can pray for their salvation.

It is perfectly well to pray for those in office we like makes prayer that much more easier. Praying for someone who’s views different a bit harder. But those we disagree with are they not the ones who need the most prayers out of everyone else.

So, when you pray to God the next time remember to pray for all leaders from Mayor, Commissioners, to the Senate up to the President. If you are in another country prayer for those in authority over you.

We are called upon to pray for them let us join together and pray for them.

God bless you and your loves ones.
