In Prayer: Pray for government leaders

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, Who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
1 Timothy 2:1-4

“First of all …” The power and influence of leaders in government and other high positions is so important to the advance of the gospel that Paul says we should pray for them first. Do our attitudes and practices agree with what Paul is telling us in these verses?

Pray for our government leaders as we are instructed here, and also pray for the elections that will be coming up this year. Cry out to God and believe Him for good candidates to be elected. Our government leaders should be at the top of our prayer lists.
