Who Are You Praying For?

If you have been following my blog you know that over the last few postings, I have been emphasing the importance of prayer.  That is because I believe that all things are possible with God.
Today lets turn our attention to who you are praying for and why it is important:  Paul urges in 1 Timothy chapter 2 that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgiving be made on behalf of all men,
for kings and all who are in authority, in order that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity,
This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Paul realized how easy it is for men (who are in authority over us) to make wrong decisions.  One wrong decission can alter the course of a nation and your life.
Paul also recognized that the heart of the king and all who are in authority is in the hand of the Lord, and like rivers of water he turns them where He will.
Therefore it is important for christians to pray according to the Will of God, so that God can govern the government and all who are in authority over you.  The end results will be a quiet, peacable life for all.
So next time instead of complaining "PRAY" and trust that God will work out the details and bring the perfect solution to the situation.
