Pray For Our Leaders

We are called to pray for our leaders, not pray for who we want to be our leaders. The people in charge are there because God has put them there.

I think the most important thing we can do around an election is pray that God's will, not ours, be done. He will put in positions of leadership the people He wants to be leaders. We cannot pretend to know what His plans are, all we can do is go along with them.

Whether you like or dislike a political candidate, I don't think your prayer should change. I think in both situations we should be praying that they seek God's will, and that they are open to what He has in store for them and us.

So if you candidate doesn't win the election, don't take it so hard. God has a plan, and maybe you were the one who was wrong after all.
