—1 Timothy 2:1-8

This is an instruction to pray for those in authority. But it is so much more. We are to make supplication, which means to beg for something persistently and with humility. We are also to intercede on behalf of and give thanks for all people, including those in authority. I cannot help but wonder what a quiet and peaceable life we might lead (in godliness and reverence) if we truly took to heart this instruction. Are we full of gratitude? Do we truly intercede for others in prayer? Do we earnestly seek our Father, asking Him to move? May our lives be marked by an attitude of true prayer.
