(1 Timothy 2:1-2)…..First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, in order that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
He’s not my president! I never voted for him/her! They are from that ultra liberal party! He/she is to conservative for me! I have heard so many horrible things that people say about the political party they are opposed to. But let’s assume for a moment that we are Christians, and as believers in Jesus Christ we have a responsibility to pray for their leaders. If you live in a country where you have the privilege of voting on your leaders, then you need to take that responsibility seriously, be informed and vote as the Lord directs you. But don’t stop there, pray for public officials, especially those in high office whose decisions affect many people’s lives.

Believers have a responsibility to pray for their leaders. This morning take some time out of your schedule an ask the Lord to help those who govern us. Pray that they are saved (born again), that they turn to Christ, and submit to His wise council.
