Scripture
1 Timothy 2:1-2
(1) First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men. (2) for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity.2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
1 Peter 2:13 -17 – Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution whether to a king as the one in authority (14) or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right. (15) For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men. (16) Act as free men and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil but use it as bond slaves of God. (17) Honor all people, love the brotherhood, Fear God, honor the king.
