PRAY Ezra 6:8-10

(A decree issued by Cyrus to rebuild the temple at Jerusalem)
Moreover, I hereby decree what you are to do for these elders of the Jews in the construction of this house of God: Their expenses are to be paid out of the royal treasury, from the revenues of Trans-Euphrates, so that the work will not stop. Whatever is needed--young bulls, rams, male lambs for burnt offerings to the God of heaven, and wheat, salt, wine and olive oil, as requested by the priests in Jerusalem--must be given them daily without fail, so that they may offer sacrifices pleasing to the God of heaven and pray for the well-being of the king and his sons.

Their expenses are to be paid out of the royal treasury, from the revenues of Trans-Euphrates
Ezra 6:3-4  In the first year of King Cyrus, the king issued a decree concerning the temple of God in Jerusalem: Let the temple be rebuilt as a place to present sacrifices, and let its foundations be laid. It is to be sixty cubits high and sixty cubits wide, with three courses of large stones and one of timbers. The costs are to be paid by the royal treasury.

Whatever is needed--young bulls, rams, male lambs for burnt offerings to the God of heaven 
Leviticus 1:3  " 'If the offering is a burnt offering from the herd, you are to offer a male without defect. You must present it at the entrance to the tent of meeting so that it will be acceptable to the LORD.' "
Leviticus 1:10  " 'If the offering is a burnt offering from the flock, from either the sheep or the goats, you are to offer a male without defect.' "

so that they may offer sacrifices pleasing to the God of heaven and pray for the well-being of the king and his sons 
Ezra 7:23  Whatever the God of heaven has prescribed, let it be done with diligence for the temple of the God in heaven. Why should his wrath fall on the realm of the king and his sons?
1 Timothy 2:1-2  I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people--for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
