1 Timothy 2: Freedom Comes from Prayer
--------
First of all, let petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—
For rulers and all those in authority—
That we may live peaceful and quiet lives
In all godliness and holiness.
--------
We are still blessed to live in a land of freedom
But that freedom is not our birthright
It is a fragile thing which can easily be lost
No amount of criticism and nay-saying will improve our government
Freedom is the result of prayer
Pray for our leaders (would YOU want their job?)
Pray for our nation
Pray for the leaders of other lands (yes, even the crazy boogers)
God is able to work ALL things together for good, when God's people pray
