First of All, Pray for Everyone!

1 Timothy 1; 1 Timothy 2; 1 Timothy 3; 1 Timothy 4

Scripture

1 Timothy 2:1-2

“I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone— 2for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.”

Observation

Paul is encouraging Timothy to pray for everyone and especially pray for those in authority. Our president needs our prayers today more than ever!


Application

I will pray for President Bush and for those in leadership of our country. Paul was saying to pray for them so that we may experience peace. It is not a bad prayer for us to pray today also!


Prayer

Heavenly Father, I pray for President Bush that you give him all the wisdom he needs to lead our country. Be with his family and give them strength. Help him to make good decisions based on Your Word and Your guidance!
