"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" 1 Timothy 2:1-2.
It is very easy to criticize those who are in power. We see corruption, failure to keep promises, lies and etc. However, people have always been people, and those who were in authority in the times when Paul his epistle to Timothy, were even worse than we have now. Nevertheless, look what Paul encouraged Timothy to do about it. He told him to pray for them.
We should do the same. We should bring them to the highest authority in the Universe and bless them, ask God to give them wisdom, to direct them. This is the attitude we should have. Criticizing does not help at all. Hatred is even worse. It leads to more hatred. We need positive change. God can bring it about and He wants us to pray. It is very important during times as we live now, when the world is experiencing a lot of turmoil: COVID-19, riots in the USA, and potentially other bad stuff that may arise in the nearest future. Let's pray for God's best to our politicians. Let God direct them in the ways He sees best. This will have good outcome for our lives too.

God knows everything
"Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely" Psalms 139: 4.
Psalm 139 is one of the most amazing parts of the Scriptures for me. I enjoy reading it again and again. It shows that God knows every little detail about me, and He cares about me. He has a plan for me and you, He knows where you are now, all of your circumstances. He even knows what you are going to say before you have actually said it. Wow! Read for yourself, not just the 4th verse, but all of the psalm. It is a great encouragement. When things get out of control, just like things seem to be happening right now with the coronavirus (COVID 19), God knows what is happening, He cares, and is ready to help. Of course, the situation reminds us that nothing is stable in this world, and we have to go to God every day and pray to Him. Do not be afraid, because He is not going to leave you alone in hostile circumstances you maybe in. God bless. He knows every detail about you. Pray that His perfect will is established in your life.
