We have set aside every Tuesday as a day of prayer for our National leaders: President Obama, the Senate and the Congress. Each week we present a specific focus, birthed from Scripture, that we can agree and pray together. This week we pray that:
Our National Leaders will gird up the loins of their minds, be sober and rest their hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to them at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming themselves to the former lusts, as in their ignorance; but as He who called them is holy, they will also be holy in all their conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” I Peter 1:13-16
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when a wicked man rules the people groan. Proverbs 29:2
Therefore, I will exhort that first of all supplication, prayers, intercessions, and giving thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may live quiet and peaceable lives in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior. I Timothy 2:1-3
