Government Importance:

God gave man government to establish freedoms and boundaries. Government dictates the laws of the land. The laws keep us safe and help establish an order. When the government reflects His loving-kindness and righteous judgments, freedom and justice abound.


Pray that the Lord will raise up godly leaders in our government. Bless those who are in authority over us. Pray for their protection. Pray for a spirit of wisdom on their behalf. Pray the Lord would bring to them His "Daniels" to give them godly counsel.

Prayer: Lord, I pray for those in authority that we might live peaceable lives. Where there is unrighteous authority, may it be replaced with men and women who love You. Raise up godly leaders; give them wisdom and understanding in the way they are to lead. Give them creative, fresh ideas to resolve issues, and give them hearts to cooperate, so that our nation, state and local government might move forward.
