Praying for Leaders Since the purpose of God our Savior is that all be saved through the ransom of His Son, Paul urges prayer for all men, especially those in authority. Why? Intercession for governing authorities results in a society where “we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and reverence.” Thus the gospel may be proclaimed more easily and quickly Pax Romana (peace of Rome) characterized the first century and made possible the rapid spread of the gospel throughout the Roman Empire. Today, as in the first century, the great need is for peace and tranquility in the world. Therefore, a growing number of believers are learning to intercede by name for the kings, presidents, prime ministers, and rulers in each country. Regional conflicts, social unrest, and political upheavals can be quelled and the gospel spread more rapidly as we faithfully petition, pray, and intercede with thanksgiving for all in authority. Lord, teach us so to pray that Your desire for the salvation of all men may be advanced in every nation in every country.
