"I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people — for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." 1 Timothy 2:1-4


Scripture instructs us to pray for all in authority, but it also makes practical sense to pray for our leaders. Their decisions and actions influence our country, our lives, our jobs, our churches, and our families. It is only through prayer and a return to Christian ideals that we can find peace and manifest God's kingdom on earth.

We must pray for our leaders in all areas and levels of our society.
