Are You Praying for Our Next President and Other World Leaders?
The Apostle Paul’s first letter to his disciple Timothy lays out some priorities for prayer:
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. 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 (1 Timothy 2:1,2 – New Living Translation).
First, we should pray for all human beings on earth (8.2 billion estimate). God wants us to have “world vision.” Second, he encourages prayer for the leaders over those eight billion folks. They are vital to peace and harmony on earth.

But I want to encourage a different response to her outburst.
Let’s pray passionately for Megan’s salvation.

I have been praying for revival in America for nearly fifty years. Often it has been a daily prayer. Weekly, I devote my Friday quiet time to intercede for spiritual awakening in the United States.

Here are my thoughts on the Asbury Revival.
It’s what we’ve been praying for.
