Christians Pray: (1Timothy 1-3) 1. Christians are to be men much given to prayer. They ought to abound in prayer. 2. In our prayers we are to have concern for others as well as for ourselves. We are to pray for all men and give thanks for all men, and we must not confine our prayers to our own persons or families. 3. Prayer consist of various parts, of supplications, intercessions, and thanksgivings; for we must pray for the mercies we want, as well as be thankful for mercies already received. 4. All men, even kings themselves and those who are in authority, are to be prayed for. They need our prayers, for they have many difficulties to encounter, many snares to which their exalted stations expose them. 5. In praying for our governors, we take most likely course to lead a peaceable and quiet life. The Jews of Babylon were commanded to seek peace of the city where the Lord had caused them to be carried as captives. (Study Bible)
