Summary: Our cities and towns are led by elected and appointed officials. Presidents lead countries. Mayors lead towns. These individuals make big, important decisions. Their decisions have a ripple affect on those around them as well. Let’s not forget to pray for these leaders! My dad prayed for our city leaders when I was a child. It was that important to lift them up to God. He would pray for them to know God and for them to seek God’s will for their lives and the city they led as in 2nd Timothy 2:1-7 in the Bible. This week, let’s join together in praying for these leaders by name. Pray for their decision-making in times of conflict, pray for their hearts to be softened bu God’s leading. Pray for their families and church communities to support them as well. Pray that they govern wisely. God says in Mark 11 “…I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” God is working in the leadership of cities and countries all over the world. Let’s continue to pray for God to be involved in the guidance of our leaders, so that we may lead a “peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and holiness” in our cities and in our towns, and in the nation as a whole.
