Light for My Path Daily Devotion
Bible Reading
First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all those who are in authority, in order that we might live a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and dignity. (1 Timothy 2:1-2 EHV)
Hymn ELH 602 God Bless Our Native Land
God bless our native land!
Firm may she ever stand
Through storm and night!
When the wild tempests rave,
Ruler of wind and wave,
Do Thou our country save
By Thy great might.
For her our prayer shall rise
To God above the skies;
On Him we wait.
Thou who art ever nigh,
Guarding with watchful eye,
To Thee aloud we cry,
God save the State!
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for providing earthly government for my protection. Give wisdom to all earthly leaders, that they may rule justly, allowing everyone the freedom to live according to Your Word and Your will. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
