We know prayer ought to be a daily priority of our Christian life, but which prayers might be a priority for us right now?

Among the many prayers, petitions, requests, and supplications needed, here are three we can all focus on:

* The salvation of unbelievers – pray for those who do not know the Lord Jesus Christ, that they might repent and believe the gospel; they would hear the good news, become aware they are sinners in need of the Savior, and seek the Lord for His mercy and grace to the forgiveness of sins.

* The People of God – intercede for the household of faith, those who do believe - the pillar and buttress of truth. Pray that we be mature in the faith and stand firm in all the will of God.

* The Government – ask on behalf of those in positions of authority, in order that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This is good, and it pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Tim 2:1-4

As we look around, we see our nations are not tranquil. And Believers we ought to pray regularly for the government, not just around elections. For any leader – elected, appointed or hired, there are decisions and dangers. We are asking for wise leaders who will seek guidance, and we are asking for their protection.

In today’s PrayerPodcast let’s lift up those in authority from James 1:5, Proverbs 3:21, 1 Corinthians 16:13.

Pray For The People Of God From The Word Of God

Here are four passages we are praying from this week (one passage per day):

* Thursday - 1 Cor 1:4-8

* Friday - 1 Cor 16:13

* Saturday - 2 Cor 2:12

* Sunday - Rom 15:5-7, 13

Will you join me in praying these verses, and ask one person to join you?
