I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers

[Mary Naeem]

1 Timothy 2:1-2

"I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness."

Reflection: Paul urges believers to pray for all people, including unbelievers and those in authority. This verse highlights the importance of intercessory prayer for the well-being of society.
