1 Timothy 2:1-3 (NIV)
1 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers,
intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2 for kings and all those
in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and
holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior.
Can you imagine working at the following Organization?
It has a little over 500 employees with the following
statistics:
*29 have been accused of spousal abuse
*7 have been arrested for fraud
*19 have been accused of writing bad checks
*117 have bankrupted at least two businesses
*3 have been arrested for assault
*71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
*14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
*8 have been arrested for shoplifting
*21 are current defendants in lawsuits
*In 1998 alone, 84 were stopped for drunk driving
Can you guess which organization this is?
It's the 535 members of your United States Congress. The
same group that perpetually cranks out hundreds upon hundreds of new laws
designed to keep the rest of us in line.
Dear Lord, today we want to pray specifically for the
elected officials. We pray that they would turn their hearts and minds to you
as they make and in force our laws. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
