I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.1 Timothy 2:1-2
There is no position of leadership or person in authority on planet Earth that God is unaware of.
The Scriptures say that God “removes kings and sets up kings” (Daniel 2:21). If we are fasting this week to seek God’s heart for our cities, then one of our greatest responsibilities as the people of God is to pray and contend for the leaders within our cities. For local governments. For business leaders. Church leaders. For all those who are in authority. Ask God today to encourage them, strengthen them, correct them, and guide them. At the end of the day, who are we to complain about those we are unwilling to pray for?
Reflect + Apply:
Who is one leader in your city that you could commit to praying for over the next few days?
Prayer
Pray for your city leaders today. Pray for our President. Pray for your Governor, for your Mayor, City Council or other elected officials. Pray for business leaders and for their families that God would go before them.
