Pray for Those in Authority | Psalm 72
from Mighty Oaks Daily Devotional Hosted by Mighty Oaks Foundation
Psalm 72 gives us a powerful picture of what it looks like to pray for those in leadership. David prays for his son Solomon, asking God to give him wisdom, righteousness, and the ability to lead well—not for personal success, but so that God would be honored and glorified through his leadership. The psalm ends with this clear focus: “Blessed be the Lord God… let the whole earth be filled with his glory.” This reminds us that leadership ultimately matters because of its impact on people and its opportunity to reflect God’s character. As believers, we are called to pray for those in authority—not just when we agree with them, but always. We should pray that God would guide their decisions, bring about justice and wisdom, and use their leadership in a way that points back to Him.
