Our Daily Prayer for Tuesday - Mille McFarland

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.
— 1 Timothy 2:1-2 (NIV)

Scripture & Prayer submitted by: Millie McFarland

Heavenly Father, I give you all of the glory and praise. I thank you for your new mercies everyday. Father, I know things in this world are uncertain and chaotic, but you are God over all. 

Father, I come to you with a heavy heart, because of all of the things happening in our world today. I know our hope is in you, so I turn it over to you today. I cast all of my cares and my burdens on you. Father, I pray for a change to take place in each individual reading this. Give each a heart of compassion; teach each to love one another the way you love us.

Father, I pray for all of our leaders in government; give each of them wisdom and guide them as they make decisions concerning your people. Father, teach them to think before they speak. Give them a heart of compassion for the injustices taking place in our world; bring about change that brings us all together in your love. Father, bring peace among this world that is full of turmoil and change our mindset, that we may look to you for our help.

Heavenly Father, we lay this prayer at your throne room of grace. Thank for hearing our prayer. In Jesus name we pray.

Amen
