Does God Want Us to Pray for Wicked Rulers?
JULY 1
The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes. Proverbs 21:1
God can change a ruler, God can remove a ruler, and God can overrule a ruler. God reigns.
You ask, “Well, should I pray for my leader if he’s wicked?” You ought to pray all the more for him. Why? Because in 1 Timothy 2:1-3, the Bible says we should.
The greatest responsibility in America is not in the White House but in the church house. We’re to pray for our government and all those who are in authority.
Would you pray for America right now? You might pray, “Oh God, bless America. Lord, we deserve judgment, but we need mercy. Bring this nation, Lord, back to You. The troubles that we see in our land are tokens of Your love to bring us to our knees. Lord, it’s beyond us. God, we need You in America.”
