"When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice . . . (proverbs 29:2)Lord, You have the ultimate authority; you Are the ultimate authority. You are high above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.
I pray for the leaders of our country. They need Your help, Lord! You've said in Your Word that if anyone lacks wisdom, all they need to do is ask; and You said there is safety in a multitude of counselors. So, I pray that every person in any position of authority will be led by Your Spirit. Give them wise counsel and wise counselors. Give them divine guidance. Help them to understand the times we are living in and show them the right course to take.
Put a hedge of protection around every leader and their family. Bless them, Lord! Bless them with peace, prosperity and an inner confidence that You are in control. Amen.
"There should be prayers offered for everyone -- petitions, intercessions and thanksgiving -- and especially for 'the president', kings and others in authority, so that we may be able to live religious and reverent lives in peace and quiet. To do this is right, and will please God our savior." (1Timothy 2:1,2)

Let's all try to pray this prayer from the scriptures daily - or whatever prayer you choose to pray. Pray for the president and those in authority. As you pray or during your day, when you think of something or someone in authority who needs God's help, pray for that. Just a word or two will do.
Read Isaiah 58 with our nation and our leaders in mind. Maybe you would want to share what you see there that pertains to our government and it's needs.

Praying for government leaders - even the President we didn't vote for - is "right and will please God our Savior".
Not one thing happens on this Earth, or anywhere, without it first filtering through the fingers of God. We SHOULD pray for the government and for our leaders, because the Devil prowls around like a lion, looking for someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8). But know that God is in control!!!
A-MEN! Pray, pray, pray!
Dad and I went to the movie "2016" today. It is one that everyone should see. It's full of information. Whether you like Obama or don't, you should see this film. That's what Dad said, too, when we left the theatre. PLEASE GO!
