| That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savors unto the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons. (Ezra 6:10) |
| 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. (1 Tim. 2:1‑2) |
Pour out your souls to God,
And bow them with your knees;
And spread your heart and hands abroad,
And pray for quiet peace:
Your guides and brethren bear
Forever on your mind;
Extend the arms of mighty prayer,
In grasping all mankind. |
