I know this nation is temporary. All nations are. All governments are as well. But we are here. There are things to do. There are tasks and responsibilities to be accomplished. We live here and now. It is not possible to live in the future. We think about the future. We plan for the future. However, we live our lives one day at a time, moment to moment. That is just the way it is. We need to pray for our leaders. It is the will of God. Apostle Paul, in his first letter to Timothy, tells us of the importance of this. I would like to note that the Word says "everyone," but that there is a special emphasis for "kings and all in authority."
"I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone, for kings and all in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."
(1 Timothy 2: 1-4)
