1 Timothy 2:1-4 -- On Praying for Everyone

"I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth."
1 Timothy 2:1-4


I think this is a good thing to remember, especially at times when we catch ourselves actively not liking someone or not wishing the best for any group of others.  We obviously aren't going to be perfect overnight, but praying for everyone can be an important part of learning to love, and to be Zion people we are going to need to learn to love all types of people, as God does, rather than just the ones that we agree with. :)

Today, let's pray for everyone, perhaps especially for those that we don't agree with or feel we can't relate to, since we might need some extra effort in that area. ;)
