Pray For Your Leaders

..Pray much for others; plead for God's mercy upon them; give thanks for all He is going to do for them. Pray in this way for kings and all others who are in authority over us, or are in places of high responsibility, so that we can live in peace and quietness, spending our time in godly living and thinking much about the Lord. - 1 Timothy 2:1-2

Whether or not you agree with the leadership of your country, now is a critical time in which we live. There are many decisions to be made, and that are being made, that will affect generations to come. There is crisis throughout the world. The bible is full of examples of those who found favor with kings and leaders even when they were corrupt and doing evil. People such as Moses, Joseph, Esther, David, Daniel, Peter and Paul. Our duty as Christians in this day is to pray for all who are in authority. Although we may not agree with, or even like them, we need to pray that God will change their hearts and cause them to make the right decisions. God promises that if we'll do this we will have the favor of living a quiet and peaceable life. They may not be living in peace, but in the midst of their chaos and calamity, in our obedience to the word of God, we can be living in peace while everyone else is in distress.

Jeremiah 32:27
Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
