What should Christians do about leaders they disagree with?

Answered in 1 source

Christians are called to pray for all leaders, irrespective of political alignment, as they are ordained by God.

The New Testament encourages Christians to pray for all those in authority, as stated in 1 Timothy 2:1-2. This command isn't conditioned on whether we agree with them politically but is rooted in the belief that God has placed them in their positions. By doing so, we acknowledge God's sovereignty over human affairs and fulfill our duty to live quiet and peaceable lives. Even when leaders act in ways we perceive to be harmful, our responsibility is to trust God's purpose in their oversight, remembering Romans 13:1, which clarifies that all authority comes from God. Thus, prayer becomes a means of seeking God's will and understanding His plan.
