Praying for leaders
If you donât know how to pray for our leaders and our country, just listen in agreement. In the apostle Paulâs teaching on prayer in 1 Timothy, one of the major thrusts is praying for those in authority. Biblical history shows us again and again that the hearts of leaders are vulnerable and can be easily misguided; Proverbs 11:14 says âFor lack of guidance, a nation falls, but many advisers make victory sureâ. Therefore we must place our petitions before God, acting as spiritual advisers through the Holy Spirit. James reminds us that God wants us to ask Him for wisdom and He will gladly give it to those who seek it.; and that the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure, then peace loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Based on this alone, It seems to me, that we have a lot of praying to do for Godly wisdom to permeate our nations leaders. Please join me!
