“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.” (I Timothy 2:1-2)
If you are looking for a list of people for whom to pray, use this list which Paul suggested to Timothy. “All men,” would include common, ordinary people such as farmers, factory workers, truck drivers, janitors, college professors, high school teachers, military personnel, doctors, nurses and many, many more.
When did you last pray for your president? We are not told to criticize our president nor to agree with him, but to pray for him, plus others in authority, including members of congress, supreme court justices, mayors, governors and policemen. God’s Word does not excuse us from praying for them just because we do not agree with them.
I will add one other as Paul did in some places. “And pray for me.”
