First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.
Lord, this is very difficult to remember and act upon; to hold up in prayer those leaders of our country with whom I disagree and whom I feel are acting in opposition to Your Word. Yet, these are the very ones whom I need to be lifting up before You without ceasing. Help me to be obedient to Your Word, my Lord and my Master.
