Independence Day – 2021
Dear Lord, On this Fourth of July, I pray for wisdom for elected officials who serve at the local, state, and federal level, and for members of judiciary, police, first responders, medical professionals, members of the military, and all of their families. In Jesus’ name amen.
America’s leaders need God-given wisdom now more than ever.
Many public servants gladly offer their time, talent, and energy. These people often make great sacrifices to contribute to society. The selfless ones stand in stark contrast to others who aspire to leadership for personal gain.
Apostle Paul calls us to pray for those in authority in 1 Timothy 2:1-2 (ESV):
“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.”
Those in high positions can change lives.
Consider the impact of praying for leaders. Competent and confident leaders can make a huge difference. Decisions leaders make change society. Pray without ceasing for all people but especially for those in leadership. Don’t hesitate. On this Independence Day, pray now for America and for those in authority.
God bless America!
