Tag: What the Bible says about praying for our leaders

1 Timothy 2:1-2 (NKJV) 1 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.

If we want good government, we must pray for all leaders in authority. Not just for the ones that we like or prefer, but all leaders.

They stand in a position, making decisions that can make us or break us at times. They can bring hardship and captivity or freedom and happiness!

How many times do we complain about what’s going on in the leadership of our country, our town, our schools, our workplace, our church, yet we have no time for prayer?

This is something we all need to take to heart. Prayer, intercession, and giving thanks; this is what will help us to live a peaceable life.

We all want to see change come. But it will only happen if we are steadfast in our prayers. God will move mountains if we pray with faith the size of a mustard seed!

Matthew 17:20 (NKJV) 20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

We need to be consistent in praying for those who have authority and responsibility over the church as well as throughout society.

We need to make it our focus to pray for our pastor, our teachers, our governors, our town council members, our president, vice president, etc. The same can be said for any others that stand in a position to bring change.
