Romans chapter 13 verses 1 through 4.

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities,

for there is no authority except from government. subject to the governing authorities.

For there is no authority except from God,

and those that exist have been instituted by God.

Therefore, whoever resists the authorities

resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.

For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad.

Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority?

Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good.

But if you do wrong, be afraid.

For he does not bear the sword in vain.

For he is the servant of God,

an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer.

Again, there's so much that we are praying

based on these four verses, but as we are praying

during these 31 days leading up to presidential election

in the United States, these verses are maybe one of the clearest

pictures in the Bible of God's design for government.

How government is instituted by God.

That's exactly what Romans 13.
