The Bible makes it clear that we should pray about all things and on all occasions. In his letter to Timothy, Paul clarifies this by urging that ‘….petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.’ (1 Timothy 2 vs 1,2). Ted Winter here explains what this means for us today and why we too should pray regularly for nations and authorities, both nationally and internationally.
