Psalm 72:1 Give the king your justice, O God,
and your righteousness to a king’s son.
Political sentiment is so divided and polarized right now that middle ground seems lacking. If you like our country's current President it seems that you have to like and agree with everything he does and think that our previous President was evil incarnate. Or the opposite, whichever side you happen to be on. All this makes it difficult for Christians who are called on to pray for our leaders.
While I don't at all buy the polarization and the labeling of any person as evil, I have sometimes found it difficult to come up with words to pray for all of our leaders. This opening line of Psalm 72 seems like a really good place to start... Give the king your justice, O God. I pray that justice for all of our leaders.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
