Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account.
Hebrews 13:17
You are accountable for all that you have been given, and the more you have been given, the more accountable you are.
That’s why the Bible urges us to pray for our leaders. Children, pray for your parents, because God has given them a big responsibility to lead you. Congregations, pray for your pastors and elders, because God has given them a big responsibility to lead His church. Citizens, pray for your prime minister, MPs and local leaders, because God has given them a big responsibility to lead your country.
The God of the Bible holds leaders accountable, “Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account” (Heb. 13:17). On the last day, church leaders, for example, will have to answer questions like these:
Have you been faithful to the gospel?
Have you been a shepherd of the flock?
Have you led the people to be wholehearted in fulfilling the Great Commission?
Nobody should underestimate the responsibility that goes with the privilege of leadership. So, pray for your leaders, because they have been trusted with great responsibility before God.
Take a moment to pray for those who are in leadership around you.
