Praying for Your Government

If there was ever a time for us as believers to pray for our government, it is NOW!

We have been providing you with ways to be a WAR ROOM Prayer Partner. Today I am challenging you to pray for our government:

Praying For Your Government

2. Submit to the authority and ways of God and His Word daily. (1 Pet. 2:13–17)
3. Come to the knowledge of Christ and surrender to His lordship. (1 Tim. 2:4)
4. Lead with honor, respect, wisdom, compassion, and godliness. (1 Tim. 2:2)
5. Use good judgment, pursue justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. (Mic. 6:8)

7. Not get distracted or cower into passivity, but embrace responsibility. (Neh. 6:1–14)
8. Watch over, protect, lead, and serve those in their care. (Heb. 13:17)

16. Be a godly example in their roles and responsibilities. (Josh. 24:15)

Our government will NEVER be changed in the offices and hallways of our government officials. Our government will be changed as we pray for them in the WAR ROOM – the Throne Room of our great God! Pray for your government.

Relentlessly pursuing Christ,

Think About This: “We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade, the presence of God. The world is crowded with Him. He walks everywhere incognito. And the incognito is not always hard to penetrate. The real labor is to remember, to attend. In fact, to come awake. Still more, to stay awake.” C. S. Lewis
