Good Prayer

1Tim 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior

What good thing can you do today? What kind of service would be acceptable to God? Well here's something good and acceptable to God - pray on behalf of everyone around you. Pray for civil and religious authorities - that they may do their job well as servants of God - for that would be beneficial to the Christian community. For God is our Savior, not only saving us from the wrath our sin had incurred, and not only saving us from our sinfulness unto righteous living and holiness, but also saving us from time to time from the evils of society, often by using secular authorities. For "the authorities that exist are appointed by God." Rom 13:1 Their job is to keep order.

For example remember in Acts 21 that Paul was rescue from an angry mob by the secular Roman authorities, in Acts 19 the Christians in Ephesus were delivered from an angry mob by a civil authority. When they cooperate with God "rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. For he is God’s minister to you for good." Rom 13:3,4
