Praying for Good Leader

May the LORD, the God of the spirits of all mankind, appoint a man over this community to go out and come in before them, one who will lead them out and bring them in, so the LORD's people will not be like sheep without a shepherd. — Numbers 27:16-17

Wow! For any city, county, or country electing new leadership, or church selecting elders or ministers, what greater prayer could there be?

Praying for Others

Paul prayed for the Christians – in various places

Ephesians 1:16
do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers:

2 Thessalonians 1:11-12
The Holy Spirit prays for God’s People

Romans 8:26-27
Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
