Question 7

Why gather to pray for our leaders?

Accepted Answer

The simple answer:  Scripture tells us to do so.

“The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know. Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well so we can be quietly about our business of living simply, in humble contemplation. This is the way our Savior God wants us to live.”   1 Timothy 2:1-3 (The Message translation)

“…seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile.  Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper…This is what the Lord says: “When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”  Jeremiah 29:7, 11-13 (NIV translation)

“It is hard to hate something or someone you pray for. I have found that praying every week in downtown Seattle, for our leaders and for the welfare of all people who live in King County, has changed me from the inside out. I deeper love for Seattle has grown inside of me, as well as a compassion for our leaders.” - Jeff Rogers, Chair, King County Prayer Breakfast
