THOSE IN AUTHORITY
We pray for those in authority for the good of our fellow citizens, and for the freedom to live out and share the Gospel.
Pray first “…for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness” 1 TIMOTHY 2:2

Please pray:
- For King Charles III, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and First Ministers, that God would bless them with wisdom, insight and integrity;
- That God would raise up fearless political leaders who seek to do what is right;
- That our lawmakers will strive to restrain evil and promote what is good;
