Pray for Authorities

1Tim 2:2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.

Even when they were taken away into captivity to live in an enemy city, the Lord commanded Judah "seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper." Jer 29:7 And it's not simply a matter of personal benefit. "When the wicked arise, men hide themselves; But when they perish, the righteous increase." Pr 28:28 And "When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices; And when the wicked perish, there is jubilation." Pr 11:10 In many countries today, such as Islamic countries, the gospel is hindered by secular authorities, making it illegal to openly share the gospel. A spirit of darkness pervades such areas. Paul requested of the Christian community, "brothers, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored." So pray for the secular authorities around the world, that Christians may live the Christian life free from civil persecution, and be allowed to speak openly of their faith.
