Praying for Our Leaders | Weekly Devotional

Scripture: “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. - 1 Timothy 2:1-2 KJB

As Christian women, we are called to lift up our leaders in prayer. The Apostle Paul emphasizes the importance of praying for those in authority, recognizing that their decisions impact our lives and the well-being of our communities.

Reflection: Praying for our leaders can sometimes be challenging, especially when we disagree with their actions or policies. However, prayer is a powerful tool that can bring about change and transformation. When we pray for our leaders, we are asking God to guide them, give them wisdom, and help them lead with integrity and justice. Our prayers can also bring us peace, knowing that we are entrusting our leaders to God’s care.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, we lift up our leaders to You today. We pray for wisdom, discernment, and integrity in their decisions. Guide them to lead with justice and compassion, and help them to seek Your will in all they do. Give us the grace to support them through our prayers, even when it is difficult. May our prayers contribute to a peaceful and godly society. In Christ's name we pray, Amen.

Action Step: Set aside a few minutes each day to pray specifically for your local, national, and global leaders. Consider writing down their names and the specific needs you are aware of. As you pray, ask God to work in their hearts and to use them for His purposes. 

I hope this devotional encourages you to pray for our leaders with a heart full of faith and hope.

In this episode I discuss how you can stop binge-watching YouTube. YouTube creators make their app highly addictive. They do this so that you stay on the app longer. So, if you find yourself struggling with an addiction to watching YouTube videos, or if you ever sometimes go on YouTube just to watch one thing, but end up watching many videos, you are definitely not alone. Many people struggle with this but very few actually talk about it. I share some helpful tips on how to stop binge-watching YouTube in this podcast. CLICK HERE to listen.
