When it comes to praying for those in authority, let’s take our cue from the Apostle John.
3 John 1:2 (VOICE)
I pray that everything is going well for you and that your body is as healthy as your soul is prosperous.
Healthy body and prosperous soul–we can’t go wrong making that our prayer.
But not being healthy is OK, too. Pain brings compassion.
I agree, Andrew. Some pain is essential to a prospering soul. But I can’t bring myself to pray for it.
