The Bible teaches us in 1 Timothy 2:2-4 "Pray for rulers and for all who have authority so that we can have quiet and peaceful lives full of worship and respect for God. This is good, and it pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to know the truth.” – 1 Timothy 2:2-4 (New Century Version).
The exhortation is very inclusive in nature. You and I, as believers, must pray for the leaders of our nations and for those in leadership worldwide. The reasons are clearly explained in the text. No matter what is your personal political viewpoint you should uphold your nation's leaders in prayer.
