We are to pray for all those in authority over us…whether these people are believers or not. You may not agree with their political views, or approve of their actions, but you are still called to pray for them. The purpose is two fold…First, God has placed these people in places of power for a reason…so trust God. Secondly, it says ” that we may live peaceful and quiet lives”…praying for those in authority will only benefit us in the end.
