For People Everywhere

9-30-2014

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. (1 Timothy 2:1, 2 NIV)

we ought to pray for authority figures and for people everywhere. in particular, this is that they may lead us to peace, godliness, and holiness.

all those in positions of power and authority have been placed there by the design of God in some way and regardless of our agreement or disagreement with their methodology, it should be said that there's a reason.

in light of that reason, I need to focus on praying again everyday when I wake up and when I go to sleep. it's something that I've let fall by the way side but it's also a habit I would really like to make and so I will need to actively work on it and take that time also to pray for this nation, its leadership, its people, and other abroad.
