B 90 Days SOAP: Pray for all, even the ‘bad guys’

Day 84 of the Bible in 90 Days

Scripture: 1 Timothy 2: 1-4

1I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone– 2for kings and all those in authority, that we all may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3This is good, and pleases God or Savior, 4who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

Observation: Pray for everyone, so that they will come to know the Lord and live according to His will.

Application: I need to pray for all who cross my mind: the good guys and the bad guys.  The ones I trust and the ones I fear. All need Christ and it is my duty, as a follower of Christ, to love all and pray for all.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for this reminder to be all-inclusive in my prayers, and to continue praying for those with whom I may not agree or may not even understand.

Guide me as I pray for criminals, terrorists, other ‘bad guys’ and ‘good guys’ alike. We are all your children. We are all loved by you. And we all need relationships with you.

Thank you for coming into my life so fully and guiding me to grow in you. Please grow in all as you have in me.
