1 Timothy 2:1-8 “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. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. 7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. 8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.” For whom are you praying for? We pray for our family and friends and that’s great. But verse 2 tells us to pray for our leaders. It’s only when we pray for our leaders that there is peace in the land. We don’t have to agree with them, but we need to pray for them. Pray that they make right decisions. Pray that they will follow the precepts of God. Pray that they will not lead us to sin. More than ever we need to pray that peace be in our land. Father God, we lift up our government leaders to you today. Fill them with the spirit of righteousness. Create in them a clean heart. Direct them in the way to lead their people. We come against every deceptive spirit within them. We bind them from lying and we call forth the truth in Jesus name. We come against the spirit of greed and personal gain. And we ask that you fill them with compassion and love for their people. That they make right decisions for us. We pray that they put their relationship with you before all else. And we pray that they do not bring our country to sin. We come against every agenda of the enemy to place our nation in discord with God. We stand in the gap for our nation, and we speak peace to our leaders. Peace in their heart, peace in their spirit and peace in the direction you desire our nation to go. In Jesus name. Amen. Be blessed!
