Pray the Word with David Platt as a resource from Radical.net.

And it's really a prayer for the king of Israel, which makes sense of verse four.

In your majesty, you ride out victoriously for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness.

Let your hand teach you awesome deeds. What a prayer for the leader among God's people

at that time, the nation of Israel. And there's a lot we could talk about here in a variety of

different directions. We could go in our praying, but I want to take this verse and lead us to

pray specifically over leaders in the world today. And this is a good thing to pray for.

Obviously God commands us to pray for world leaders and the New Testament. Why not pray

Psalm 45 verse four for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness to spread through world

leaders? Let the right hands teach them awesome deeds. Oh, let's pray that for all kinds of leaders

in the world. The unreached people group we're praying for today is the Hathi people of Nepal.

No known followers of Jesus in this Hindu people group. So as we pray for the Hathi people of Nepal,

let's also pray for the president of Nepal, Ram Chandra Pudel, actually just became president

and March, March 13th of 2023. And for the prime minister of Nepal, Pushpa Kamal Dehal.

So for us to pray for them to pray for presidents and leaders in a variety of different positions,

all around the world, God, we want to faithfully obey your command to us in 1 Timothy to pray for

all those who are in high positions. So we follow that command right now in light of your word

in Psalm 45 and this spirit inspired prayer for the king at that time. God, we pray for leaders

in the world who lead for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness. God, we pray that over

president in my country right now, president Biden and vice president Harris and leaders and

the Senate and the House of Representatives and judges, justices on the Supreme Court. God,

we pray that they would lead for the cause of truth. God, we pray that they would lead with meekness.
