Pray For Our Earthly Leadership

Did the election not go your way?

Never fear because God did a wonderful thing for us. He gave us the tool of prayer to help manage our government! We are commanded to obey the laws and pray for the government. (Romans 13:1-7) Even though we may have an administration that doesn’t share the same urgency to legislate laws from a moral standpoint, we are blessed with a system of government that will allow those laws to be passed via other avenues. We see in this passage to the Romans that rulers, good or bad are needed for our safety and comfort.

We are reminded to pray for everyone including the leadership because it pleases the God and the one mediator between Him and our humanity, Jesus. (1 Timothy 2:1-8) Ultimately, they are watching over us and desire that we put our trust in the Kingdom where our true citizenship lies.
