Today’s Scripture

I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity.

—1 Timothy 2:1-2, NLT

I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on Earth concerning anything you ask, My Father in heaven will do it for you.

—Matthew 18:19, NLT

If My people who are called by My name put away their pride and pray, and look for My face, and turn from their sinful ways, then I will hear from heaven. I will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Now My eyes will be open. And My ears will hear the prayer that is made in this place.

—2 Chronicles 7:14-15, NLV
