The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone
you know. Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well so we can
be quietly about our business of living simply, in humble contemplation. This is the
way our Saviour God wants us to live.

my enemies.’ PSALMS 69:16-18 (NEW LIVING TRANSLATION)
