Praying for our Government Officials

 

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. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
(1Timothy 2:1-4 ESV)

Father, we ask Your blessings upon these men and women.  We pray that you save who isn't saved, and give godly wisdom to them as they lead.  We ask that you guide them to serve in righteousness, with Your standards as their targets.  We pray You help them honor Your Commandments and Your Word in their leadership.  In Jesus Name, Amen.
