Our nation needs prayer. Today, let us take time to pray for those who have been given the responsibility of leadership—at the federal, state, and local levels.
We may not always agree with the decisions our leaders make, but God’s Word tells us to pray for them. Pray for our President and those serving in Washington. Pray for our governors, state officials, judges, mayors, county commissioners, school boards, law enforcement, and all who serve in positions of authority.
Ask God to give them wisdom to make good decisions. Pray that they will seek truth, value what is right, protect our freedoms, and lead with integrity. Most importantly, pray that those who do not know Jesus Christ as their Savior will come to know Him.
It is easy to complain about government. It is much more powerful to pray.
1 Timothy 2:1-2 KJV
“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.”
Today, instead of focusing on what is wrong, let us faithfully pray for those who lead us. God hears and answers prayer.
