Praying for Those in Authority

By Rev. Lonnie C. Crowe

1Timothy 2:1-2 ESV

“"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.”

So many of us in our nation and around the world are weary of the anger, the disrespect, the disunity, and the untruth that has sullied our lives.  Many of us desire to lead peaceful and quiet lives, godly and dignified in every way.

Please join me in prayer for leaders on all levels.

Father God, in the name of Jesus our Lord, we pray for anointing on all levels of leadership.  May our leaders be anointed with wisdom to discern what is best.  May they speak that wisdom with respectful boldness.  May they be diplomatically articulate.  May they know the power of speaking the truth in love. May they be willing to work together.  May they be dignified in every way.

We thank You, Father, for Your love for us and for Your desire for our welfare.

Amen.
