A Small Study on Prayer - Part Four

"I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—  for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior"
~1 Timothy 2:1-3

In these verses I love that prayer is described as something that pleases God. And it is to be made for ALL people. It is an urgent request because it is important. It effects how we live. The verse goes on to state the reason for these prayers, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. Isn't that worth taking the time out to pray for?

Also, do not forget to pray for your leaders. They are the ones who make the decisions. They are the ones who God has put in place to do that. Pray for them continually because it effects things greatly. Do you believe this? And above all I want to please God. In these verses it says it pleases Him.
