A reminder to pray for those in authority

“For our devotions before our meeting this morning we read 1 Timothy 2.

‘First of all then, I urge that supplications, prayers intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and for all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life, godly and dignified in every way.’

Does God answer such prayers?…”
