Petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people

 1 Timothy 2:1-15

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. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.

Therefore, I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.

But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.

Why?

Paul asked us to have petitions, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for all people. For we are the followers of Jesus Christ, we pray for those who do not know the Lord, that one day they may be saved.

Jesus Christ is one God, and is one mediator between God and us.

How?

Always lift our hands to pray for others with faith, love, and holiness.
