Prayers for our Elected Officials

I was reminded this morning that more than ever we need to be in prayer for our President and the elected officials. God is very clear in His message through Paul about this and I think that from this scripture we can be very selfish for ourselves and loved ones desiring to live in peace and quietness spending our time in godly living and thinking much about the Lord. I have been weaning myself from the news and this morning in prayer I asked again, is evil just more rampant today or do we have much better reporting? God said that the same evil that entered the world in the beginning is still here (same amount) but man has perverted righteousness and given evil a free hand in our society….think Sodom! Tomorrow, let’s join forces again and pray for our country, stand against the evil that desires our death and lift up our Leaders. God bless you and keep you in these trying times. Keep the faith!!!! And remember, we win!

1 TIMOTHY 2:1–2 (The Living Bible)
1 Here are my directions. Pray much for others. Plead for God’s mercy upon them. Give thanks for all He is going to do for them. Praying this way for kings, and all others who are in authority over us, or in places of high responsibility, so that we can live in peace and quietness spending our time in godly living and thinking much about the Lord.
2 This is good and pleases God our Savior. For He longs for all to be saved and to understand this truth.
