Praying for Americas Leaders

Day 11 of 21 days of prayer and fasting.  What will you commit to fast today so as to focus on crying out to God for the spiritual broken condition of our nation?  Regardless of our political persuasion or our view of any related political position we are admonished to pray for those in positions of authority.  There are two glaring benefits to our earnest prayers over all in authority.             (I Timothy 2:1-4) The first benefit is ours...we get to lead a peaceable life potentially unharassed and or controlled by the government.  Again we would all have to agree the less government the better, then it would be a Theocracy-God in complete control.  The second and greater benefit is the salvation of leadership.  The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.  Pray that God would bring to salvation all who are in authority over us. 

I Timothy 2:1-4
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
