God established earthly authority in order to keep society stable and orderly, but our government is so out of order with God's Word, it's hard to believe or trust in authority. We no longer follow the Constitution of "WE THE PEOPLE" The government was to form a perfect Union, establish Justice, to insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity." Man will always fall short, that's why we answer to a higher Authority. Although we have an earthly authority God is still in control "John 19:11 tells us no one has authority over us unless it has been given to them from God" and God can use even sinful government to do His will. This is why we should pray that supplications, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, and all who are in authority, that means our President; that he may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.
Father, we pray for those who are in authority; for there is no authority except You, so please instruct our earthly authority in a godly and dignified way. Lord, help us not resist what You have appointed so we will not incur judgment. Father, help us understand that You are in control, so we should not fear our earthly authority, but pray for them and put them in Your hands. Lord, help our government do what is good for all people; so they may receive Your approval because they are Your servants and the servants of the people. Father, let them be kind and gentle for Your sake to all people, for this is Your will. Lord, help us put silence to those who harbor hate and ignorance in their hearts and minds; and help us become one in Spirit, so we can all live as free people. In Jesus name Amen
