The leaders referred to here seem to be governmental leaders, and the focus of concern is that they govern in such a way that we may live out our faith without interference. For our concern today, however, let us also include spiritual leaders which would include the teachers and leaders within our churches. Notice how we are to pray for them: with supplications, taking their requests before God, with general prayer remembering them, with intercession, standing in the gap on their behalf, and with thanksgiving for them and their leadership.
