As the day for our major political elections draws near, Christians, more than ever, are encouraged to pray for all those in authority over us. In 1 Tim. 2:1-2, the Apostle Paul makes it clear that praying for those in leadership enables us to live a quiet and peaceable life. Moreover, verse 3 provides that it is good and pleasing to God for us to do this.
As most people, I am so displeased with the constant criticism and personal attacks made against those in governmental leadership positions. It really saddens me to hear and see this happening!
Christians must rise up and do what we are called to do – pray! There is no doubt that prayer can and does change things. Let us pray individually and collectively for our country and leaders.
