I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men: for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.
1 Timothy 2:1-4 World English Bible
Reflection
Effective governance relies on the well-being and wisdom of every person serving in elected office and public service. Interceding for all citizens and leaders fosters an atmosphere where integrity and mutual respect can thrive. When intercession encompasses every decision-maker, community member, and public servant, decisions are shaped with greater care and empathy. Ask God to grant discernment to leaders at every level, protect families, and strengthen those who carry heavy responsibilities.
Prayer
Pray for everybody. 1 Timothy says, uh, 1 Timothy, too.
