PLEASE REMEMBER TO ASK GOD TO PROTECT OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT, GOVERNMENT AND MILITARY -- Thank you in Jesus name.
1 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—
2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,
6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.
7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles.
8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.
Remember how David was concerned to "not stretch out his hand against God's anointed" (authority) and Paul says to pray for and fear authority -- "they are God's servants" (1 Samuel 18- 2 Samuel 8; Romans 12, 1 Tim 2:1-5).
Forgive the bloodshed in America and the attempts of wicked men -- from wicked men comes forth wickedness David said -- In Jesus' Name.
