Mine!
In June 2009, 95-year-old Emma Gray died. For over two decades, she had been the cleaning lady in a big house. Each night as she did her work, she prayed for blessings, wisdom, and safety for the man she worked for.
Although Emma worked in the same place for 24 years, the occupants of the residence changed every 4 years or so. Over the years, Emma offered her nightly prayers for six US Presidents: Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, and Carter.
Emma had her personal favorites, but she prayed for them all. She followed the instruction we read in 1 Timothy 2 to pray for all who are in authority (v.2). The verses go on to speak of how living a quiet and peaceable life and being a godly and reverent person is good and acceptable in the sight of God . . . who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (vv.2-4).
Because God hears the prayer of the righteous (Prov. 15:29), who knows how He used Emmas faithful prayers? In Proverbs 21:1, we read: The kings heart is in the hand of the Lord, like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes.
Like Emma, we are to pray for our leaders. Is there someone God is calling you to pray for today?
Read: 1 Timothy 2:1-7
