Have Confidence and Pray

Respect our leaders and be confident in them, for God has placed them in positions of authority just as He has placed us. Pray for them, pray for positive change, and pray that you’ll grow closer to God as well.

July's Message, Day 5:

Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you. Hebrews 13:17 NIV

We all must give an account to Christ, and His rewards or the withholding of such, will be done in perfect righteousness. We are called to be confident in those in authority, because God has placed them, too, just as He has placed us in our positions. Be responsible, submit to authority, pray for our leaders that God may guide and direct them, and pray for positive change. Never underestimate the supreme power of prayer. Prayer is our greatest tool for change, our greatest weapon against the evil of this world, and the greatest means we have to get close to God.
