60 Days of Prayer - Guide Our Governmental Authorities

Dear Heavenly Father, we ask you Holy Spirit to guide our governmental authorities, we ask that you give them wisdom in pursuing justice.  We ask that their judgment will be in love and mercy, and we pray for them to walk humbly with you day in and day out.  We pray their minds would not be swayed by other pursuits, but rather what pursuits you would like them to follow. Amen

60 Days of Prayer - May They Pursue Justice

Heavenly Father, today we pray for the MLA’s and the upcoming election.  We pray for all who run in this election, we pray Micah 6:8.  That they would use good judgment, pursue justice, love, mercy and walk humbly with God.  We pray that the party elected would establish rules and laws that honor God’s law and strengthen families and cities as in Duet. 10:13 and one that would make choices based upon the fear of God, not the fear of man.

60 Days of Prayer - May they Act with Humility

Thank you Father the authorities you have set in place over our province. We ask you to guide them in integrity to keep their promises and fulfill their commitments.  Give them wisdom as they make decisions and help them to become good role models and hard worker.  Have them act with humility and to lead with justice, mercy, truth and respect. Finally, help us submit to authority and act with love and grace under their leadership. Amen.

60 Days of Prayer - Courage to Stand

God, we pray for our MLA's, for the courage to stand on their beliefs, morals, and listen to their constituents.  The Bible says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” And we pray that you would give them the strength they need.  We pray that they would stand steadfast, and that they would uphold the values of Canada, and what Canada stands for. We pray that they would be strengthened in their identity as sons and daughters of God. We pray thanks for our MLA.s, they have a tough job, and we thank God that they took on that responsibility.

 

60 Days of Prayer - Blessed with Wisdom

We pray that the governmental authorities will be blessed with the wisdom to discern between right and wrong. That they would walk in integrity by keeping their promises and fulfilling their commitments. That they would hate evil, pride, and injustice.  We pray that they will be hard workers for the people and be an example in their rules and responsibilities.
