Public Servants’ Prayer (PSP) is touching leaders' lives one Tweet at a time, one verse at a time, one prayer at a time

With most leaders, it could be very hard to schedule a meeting in person, yet with 30,000 followers, Public Servants’ Prayer (PSP) is touching their lives one Tweet at a time, one verse at a time, one prayer at a time. Our followers are responding back with grateful Tweets, retweets, direct messages, and likes. Regular citizens are seeing how they can tell others who tell others. In 1 Timothy 2 style, they have direct influence by taking these elected leaders to a Higher Power—the Throne of Grace. It is not uncommon for PSP to be retweeted to one million people per day. Those who follow, like, and/or retweet include:
