To be a healer instead of a worrier: How I’m praying for world leaders
It can be tempting to feel overwhelmed when we hear about world leaders who are in conflict with each other and sometimes at odds with the citizens they are governing. How can we think about “power players” who are making decisions that could have lasting consequences? I’ve been yearning to do much more than express heartfelt concern. I’ve been yearning to bring healing to our world.
I’m heartened by some Bible research I did recently on the word power that helped me gain a better understanding of how God governs. Particularly helpful was the idea that the Scriptures—from beginning to end—consistently attribute all power to God, who not only created the entire universe, but also maintains it.
