Favor...Prayer
"It is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to emplore His protection and favor."~George Washington~
Let's be sure to keep praying for our Nation and our elected public servants.
Father,
We are thankful for your protection and favor. We acknowledge you are the creator and that your will shall be done, whether we cooperate or not. You have shown favor to the Nations that trusted in you. So please, help us to become once again a Nation that seeks your will. Grant wisdom to those in office as they begin or, for some, continue in public service. Help us to pray for those in office whether we agree or disagree with them.
It is in the name of Jesus we ask,
AMEN
1 Timothy 2
1 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.
