We don’t discuss politics here (whew!), but we want to encourage everyone to pray for our political leaders — whatever country you’re in.
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.
No political leader can bring about perfection here on earth. Pray for peace; pray that the Gospel will be boldly proclaimed throughout the whole world; and pray that the Holy Spirit works powerfully for the salvation of the lost.
Pray as a couple. Pray with your kids. Pray for our new president, our governors, our mayors, our lawmakers, our judges, and all the civil service workers who make our government function. Pray for freedom, justice, integrity, wisdom, and humility.
Thank God for all his blessings, and never take them for granted.
The last two pastors of my church have always urged us to do just that. Whether our leaders are politically in line with our beliefs, we are to pray for them and for what we hope they may accomplish.
