"Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence."

Just seven weeks after its general election, Canada is experiencing tumultuous times. Wide-reaching actions and decisions concerning the government are going to be made in the near future.

In light of the critical events transpiring in Canada right now, Christians everywhere will want to be praying.

El Shafie Ministries in Canada urges prayer for the situation, citing Scripture and a couple ways to pray: The Bible encourages us to take an interest in and pray for our leadership, saying: "Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence." (I Tim. 2:1-2)

Prayer Points:
? for Prime Minister Harper, and the government, and for Governor-General Micha?lle Jean that they would have wisdom?in dealing with this crisis and pursuing the good of the country.

? that Canadians would come together in unity and intercession....

Join with the many who are praying at this critical time for the future of Canada.
