1 Timothy 2:1-8
KJV(i)1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. 7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. 8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

These are my thoughts please share yours.
1 We should share praise and prayers to up lift each other.
2 All should do this not just those of low rank in the world but also those of high rank, we all the same as the church in God's eyes.
3 God wants to hear from us through prayer and praise, this pleases Him.
4 Living the life of a true Christian can bring people to the Lord by having see what they are mising in their own life.
5 Jesus is the one who stands between us and God. We are not going to judgement because He took care of us by dieing on the cross. Job pryaed for somone to stand in for him and Jesus does this for us.
6 God's plan was for Chirst to die so that we may live.
7 The gospel changes lives and causes people to live to do the gospel, it giveslife meaning and purpose.
8 When we come to pray we should clear our mind of all but what we wnat to say to God.
