If you are having trouble praying.....don't know how or what to pray for...start looking through Psalms, especially for leadership. David has given us some beautiful prayers that cover almost everything we need or struggle with. He fought so many battles trying to keep Israel under God's rule. He opened his heart and soul to God, confessing all of his wrongs, asking for forgiveness, strength and direction in all things. His life and prayers are an example for all who serve as leaders. How do we assess our leadership? All have sinned and fallen short, but there is hope and encouragement for change.
This world is in a mess, would you agree? We tend to be heading toward a one world kind of government. Some days the news is very scary. We talk about praying for our leaders and the leaders of the world. We need more David's out there who can examine themselves closely and ask that God's will be done through them instead of leaders who are pleasing others for votes. It's becoming a struggle to decide who is right. God alone is worthy of worship. We want to please him first.
"Among the gods there is none like you, Lord;
no deeds can compare with yours.
All the nations you have made
will come and worship before you, Lord;
they will bring glory to your name.
For you are great and do marvelous deeds;
you alone are God." Psalm 86: 8-10
God has made all nations. Are we as a nation coming to worship the one true God? Are we bringing glory to his name or are we bringing glory to leaders who are following other gods whose deeds are not following him or his will for us? How do we know for sure? Prayer! Asking God for help and discernment. Listening for his word as David did. Following through in love. We are hearing that we are living in end times. So we must not waste time now.
