Psalms 72:15 NLT Long live the king! May the gold of Sheba be given to him. May the people always pray for him and bless him all day long.
We should pray for our leaders and for those in authority. We may not have kings like they did, but the concept is still the same. This includes presidents, people in congress, governors, mayors, judges, police officers, and even teachers. If they have any type of authority over us, our children, or our country, we should be praying for them. 1 Timothy 2:1-2 also instructs us to pray for people in authority.
What should we pray? The beginning of Psalms 72 provides some insight.
Verse 1 – Pray that those in authority have God’s love of justice.
Verse 2 – Pray that they keep the poor in mind and that they’re treated fairly.
Verse 4 – Pray that they have the wisdom of God to handle anyone who is attacking their country or the people being oppressed in their country.
Verse 5 – Pray that every leader reverences and honors God.
We may not agree with everything our leaders do, but instead of talking bad about them and the decisions they make, pray that they have the wisdom of God and they’re led by the Holy Spirit. Pray!!!
