“I urge , then, first of all, that requests, prayers , intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone – for kings and those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.”
Are we doing all that for those in authority?
“I have lived, sir, a long time, and the longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of the truth: that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, it is probably that an empire cannot rise without His aid.” – Benjamin Franklin, when addressing the chairman of the Constitutional Convention, meeting at Philadelphia in 1787.
“I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom, and that of all about me, seemed insufficient for the day.” – Abraham Lincoln
Reading the two above quotes helps me to make requests and prayers for those in authority.
