First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. – 1 Timothy 2:1-2
The most important thing the believer can do for those in government positions is to offer up prayer. In fact, as we see in today’s reading, this is commanded. We do not simply pray for the government leaders we voted for or fully agree with. No, we pray for “kings and all who are in high positions.” This is our Christian duty and privilege.
Father, I pray today for those in government positions at the local, state, and national level. I pray that they would lead under the direction of your divine authority, with wisdom and honor. I ask that you protect these leaders as they seek to protect those who live under their governing authority. Let me be one who honors well those in government positions so long as it does not violate your word.
Thank you for joining in prayer with your neighbors across El Dorado and Union County, Arkansas for the 2024 40 Days of Prayer. Please continue to pray for blessings and unity for our community.
We are so grateful for your partnership in God’s Kingdom work. May you and yours be blessed.
