1 Timothy 2:1-7, “The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know. Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well so we can be quietly about our business of living simply, in humble contemplation. This is the way our Savior God wants us to live. He wants not only us but everyone saved, you know, everyone to get to know the truth we’ve learned: that there’s one God and only one, and one Priest-Mediator between God and us—Jesus, who offered himself in exchange for everyone held captive by sin, to set them all free. Eventually the news is going to get out. This and this only has been my appointed work: getting this news to those who have never heard of God, and explaining how it works by simple faith and plain truth.” From the Message.
“Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well so we can be quietly about our business of living simply, in humble contemplation.” I confess that this current government of the United States disturbs me greatly. I pray for our nation and our leaders every day. Our nation is an experiment in freedom and liberty that has been challenged every year of its existence. The challenge is immense today and our leaders need to turn back to God.
Prayer: Father thank You for today the day that wasn’t promised. Thank You for salvation through Jesus Christ for we know that whatever happens on earth that our eternal home is with You. Help our leaders choose Your path, Your Son and Your Way. In Jesus’ Name we pray. AMEN!
