Posted by Tim Sigman – Director of Prayer Initiatives – 1Timothy 2:1-3 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… – Father we pray for all those in authority, Help our nation as we transition from one out-going President to a new in-coming President. We ask for your hand of protection and blessing over all those involved and over all this change. We pray for those in authority in Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Iran, Syria and other surrounding nations to move toward peace and away for war and fighting. Help our nation to be an instrument of peace in this part of the world. We pray for all the peoples of our world to be drawn to the Savior.
