Reverend Responsibility
"Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men." (1 Timothy 2:1 NKJV) Supplication goes for mercy, prayer for needs, intercession for reconciliation, and thanksgiving for blessing. However, it is easier for people in position of authority to attract little attention from most subjects during any petition before God. Many often deny the responsibility to support leaders in prayer, especially when the authorities exercised by leaders threatens the subjects' relevance. Since God ordains authority for organized human governance, unfair regulation of authority cannot relegate the human responsibility toward one another to the background. Even when the weight of authority over a prayer warrior seems unbearable, the responsibility to support the person in the position of authority becomes more reverend, relevant and relieving.
