First Things First
The problems we have created for ourselves, although colossal, can be solved. The first thing we must do is to put first things first: “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for [leaders], and for all that are in authority” (1 Timothy 2:1-2).
This is not an arbitrary, haphazard plan given by God. God wants every individual to pray for civic leaders first, because civic leaders and their policies affect every individual. For our own benefit we should be praying regularly for our leaders at local, state and federal levels, in each branch of government. Prayer is the first key to effecting significant change, for situations do not change on earth until they have been changed in the heavenlies.
