Prayer for Leaders
Text: 1 Timothy 2:1-2
Do you want to live in peace?
Do you know there are four types of prayer for others
Four Expressions of Prayer
Entreaties……………asking of God
Prayers………………..speaking with God
Petitions………………seeking the intervention of God
Thanksgiving………..expressing gratitude to God
Three Objects of Prayer
All men
For all humanity
Kings
Governing Rulers
For those in authority
Civil authorities
Religious authorities
Two Benefits of this kind of prayer
So that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life
Experiencing peace and security
(So that we may) live in godliness and dignity
Experiencing freedom of conscience and personal value
IF we are not experiencing a tranquil and quiet life
in all godliness and dignity,
Then perhaps it is because we have not made requests,
prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving on behalf of all
people, for kings, and all who are in authority.
