Believers have a responsibility to pray for their leaders. If we live in a country where we have the privilege of voting for our leaders, then we need to take that responsibility seriously, be informed and vote as the Lord directs us. Don't allow ourselves to be swayed by the emotional tactics used in political campaigns, or vote based on our selfish interests. Vote as a believe the Lord would have us to vote. Vote for leadership show love of God and move in a godly manner. But don't stop at voting. Pray for our public officials, especially
those in high office whose decisions affect many people's lives. Whether we agree with our president, let be in prayer for him and congress and our senator, our local and state officials. We are to prayer for others than just the one's we like or the one's who are saved, even Jesus acknowledged Caesar and said render unto Caesar what is Caesar, no one is put into authority without God allowing it, sometimes because he wants wake up his people, sometimes to bless His children. We honor God by obey our leaders, the only exception is if the laws of the land exceed or interfere with God's laws.
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan (Proverbs 29:2).
