The scriptures admonishes us to do so. When we pray for thos taking the lead, they will be able to lead more effectively. It is indeed for our own good.
Praying for leaders is not restricted to political leaders, it could be any leader at all. Spiritual leaders also have challenges too, we shouldn't abandon them. You can start by praying for @Sirknight too, who leads SteemChurch.
