1 Timothy 2:1-4
2 I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. 2 Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. 3 This is good and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth.

Todays Confession: Prayer Burden for Specific Cities (shared from The River at Tampa Bay Church)

"I confess that the Lord gives me a burden for cities, and I stand in the gap as an interscessor. I lift up every city He places on my heart, knowing that the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. (Ezekiel 22:30; James 5:16)"

"I declare that as I seek the peace of the cities where God sends me, He hears my prayers for revival, repentance, and awakening in every place He assigns. (Jeremiah 29:7; 2 Corinthians 7:14)"

When we pray we need to pray the word of God. The word of God has authority. It is the law, if it says it in His word, He is bound to honor it! (For You have magnified Your word above all Your name - Psalm 138:2). Just like a Judge has to uphold the law of the land, God - the Supreme Judge has to uphold His Word (His Law - Covenant). We bring our request - our case before the Judge. We need to know the law so we can present our case to the Judge! If you haven't heard the message from Sunday Morning - you need to go back and take a listen to it!! 

We are asking that you also take some time today to pray for our local, state and federal leaders, including President Trump and Vice President Vance. There are a lot of things happening on every level. We need to pray for their safety and protection of their families. 

Protection for Leaders - Thessalonians 3:3 - “But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and
keep you from evil.

Psalm 91:2 - “I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.”

Wisdom for Leaders: James 1:5 - “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all
men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”

Proverbs 11:14 - “Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of
counsellors there is safety.”

Thank You Lord that You honor Your word above Your name and that by it we have the Victory!! In Jesus name we pray, AMEN!
