Scripture - I Tim. 2:2 Pray for rulers and for all who have authority so that we can have quiet and peaceful lives, full of worship and respect for God.
Observation - We are to pray for leaders in our lives. The decisions they make can impact our lives in either positive or negative ways. This is part of the reason that we need to pray for them. Peoples' lives are dependent on those in authority making good decisions. We don't pray for them nearly enough because maybe we just think that we are insignificant. But when we pray, we have our Father's attention. It is not about the people in authority. It is about the Spirit of God impacting those in authority and causing them to make godly decisions.
Application - I will pray for leaders in my city, state, and country. I pray that they would make decisions that will honor God and help people.
Prayer - Father, please give those in authority wisdom so that your children may continue praising you without strife. Amen.
