Hello hitch0403,
To answer your question, I am praying FOR people in Authority.
I am praying TO God the Father...the same God referred to in the Lord's Prayer in the Bible.
Nothing has happened to the Lord's Prayer that I am aware of.   When I pray to God, I also use my own words....I just talk to Him.

The pdf gives 30 ideas of things to pray to God the Father for those in Authority...—our judges, police chiefs, educators, school board members, military officers, elected officials, and others who serve our country in leadership.
Some examples of things to pray to God from the pdf include: 
Pray to God the Father that those in authority  be honest in financial, tax and ethical matters.
(1 Corinthians 6:10, 1 Timothy 6:6-10)

Pray to God the Father that those in authority have courage to resist manipulation, pressure
and the fear of man. (Proverbs 29:25, 2 Timothy 1:7)

Pray to God the Father that those in authority endeavor to restore the sanctity of life, families,
divine order and morality in our nation. (Ephesians 5:22-6:4)

       I think this pdf has great ideas to include when praying to God.  I would not have thought of all the ideas suggested nor known the Bible references for them.

Hello Jkh...TY for getting back to me.

Do you think when God created mankind and world,he wanted this whats going on here?

Acts 10:34 reads..... Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism

Every man that works righteousness is ACCEPTABLE to him.

God the father?Doesnt Jesus say in Lords prayer,"Holy or hallowed be thy name?"Plus bible says there are MANY gods.So the one Jesus referred to as you referred to "God the father"has a personal name.

Look up Psalms 83:18 KJV

Thank you

WE all need to pray everyday for those people in authority, because God still sits high and sits low.

That's incorrect. The rule is that you can't post links in which you would financially benefit from such a post (eg a referral link to a PTC site):

Quote from: FusionCash
It is not a forum for you to spam your link to your store, candle selling site, or any other site that you can make money off of others. If it is a video on YouTube, or a news story you wish to share with us, by all means share your link.  But you should not post links to sites that you own, or in which you have a vested interest.

1st Corint 11:3 New International Version
But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
