Day 3: Wednesday, January 5
1 Timothy 2:1-8 NASB
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 a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. [3] This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, [4] who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. [5] For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, [6] who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time. [7] For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle ( I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. [8] Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension.

Prayer: Spend time in prayer today for Nelson County, the state of Kentucky, and the United States. Pray for our local and national leaders.

Fast: Fast from television today as a discipline to focus on God and His will.
