Paul tells us two things to ask God for concerning people in authority. The first is praying that we might live a quiet peaceable life in all goodness and honesty (1 Timothy 2:2). The second is for their salvation (1 Timothy 2:3-4).
God is able to penetrate the heart of every person (John 1:9; Romans 1:18-20). And every person must give an account to God (John 5:28-29). We know that not all will love the Truth, but all will know the Truth (Romans 14:11; Philippians 2:10-11). We do not know here who will be saved and who will reject. Our business is to pray.
