First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, ²for kings and all who are in high positions, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity. ³This is right and is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, ⁴who desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:1-4

There are problems in our world.  There are many places across the globe that are in conflict.  We know the biggies such as Ukraine and Gaza, but there is still ongoing violence in Sudan, Myanmar and more.

There are also conflicts in our own country, political upheaval, civil unrest and ongoing racism. 

Sometimes we feel unable to do anything yet we have one very strong weapon – prayer.  We can pray for the world leaders to do just and right things.  Even if we do not like the leader, pray for them – for peace to pervade their hearts and minds, for each world leader to do good for the planet.

As you journey through this week and hear the news, stop for a moment and pray for all in high positions.

Peace,

Pastor Bill
