Pray for godly rulers


“Pray like this…
May your will be done on earth,
    as it is in heaven…” Matthew 6: 9 - 10
WE must not let our children, our future generations, be swamped by corruption, greed, barbarism, crime and racial hatred. They need godly governance if they are to inherit the peaceful lives that is God’s will for them. The Bible (1 Timothy 2: 1 – 2) tells us to pray “for kings and all others in authority, so that we can live a quiet and peaceful life with all reverence towards God and with proper conduct.” So, we must pray our hearts out that our country gets an able, good government, one that encourages peace and spreading the gospel, not one that hinders it. What is more, we can all pray for this with confidence that it IS God’s will. Scripture assures us that if we pray for anything according to His will, He will hear us (1 John 5: 14). We may have to wait a while, but it will be done.
