12/14/14 (0439) Pray for Those in Authority I urge, then, first of all, that request, prayers, intercessions and thanksgiving be made for everyone - 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 It is especially important to pray regularly for our church leaders. Prayer has mighty power. It makes good rulers, and makes good rulers better rulers. It restrains the lawless and the despotic. Rulers are to be prayed for. They are not out of the reach and control of prayer, because they are not out of the reach and control of God. Wicked Nero was on the throne of Rome when Paul wrote these words to Timothy urging prayer for those in authority, so that peace and quiet could reign in the land. God, I know that prayer is far-reaching in its effects. I pray today for all the people in leadership positions all over the world that they will know and follow You as the divine Leader and King. Amen. THE POWER OF PRAYER - E.M. BOUNDS
