We are reminded in the Bible to pray for all people, including those in positions of authority. Let us come together in prayer for our leaders in the world.
"I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men; for kings and all who are in high places" 1 Timothy 2:1-2a WEB
Let us pray for the health of Pope Francis, that God would heal and strengthen him according to His will.
"Dear Heavenly Father, we ask you to heal and strengthen Pope Francis. May your grace be upon him, as he leads and guides countless souls. We pray for him to have the wisdom and grace to lead effectively. As his days are numbered under Heaven, we pray that he would come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ.
If it is your will to take him home to be with you, we pray that you would comfort and guide his followers and their leaders. In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray and come before God the Father. Amen."
We also pray that Pope Francis and all Catholics would come to the saving faith in Jesus Christ, the one true mediator between God and man.
"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus," 1 Timothy 2:5 WEB
For Catholics, let them be led to the knowledge that Jesus is the only true way to salvation, not through Mary or the Saints or the church. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6 WEB
We pray that all people everywhere would come to faith in Christ and be saved. We pray for the salvation of all men.
"who (Jesus Christ) desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth." 1 Timothy 2:4 WEB
We invite you to join us in this prayer and please let us know how we can pray for you. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
