I have hidden Thy word in my heart.

1 Timothy 2. “I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time” (Verses 1-6). Pray for our leaders, pray for those who have authority over us. Why? Because only then will they be getting their guidance and leading from God. Leadership is hard making choices that are right for ALL people and not just ourselves takes the kind of selfless attitude that only God can give. So pray for those who lead us. They are as human as we are.
