I will bring these to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples.”
Isaiah 56:7 World English Bible
Reflection
Elected officials across every constituency carry immense burdens of decision-making that shape communities and households daily. When local congregations surround these leaders with consistent, focused intercession, spiritual strength replaces isolation. Asking God to raise up dedicated groups in every riding fosters wisdom, integrity, and peace throughout democratic institutions. Praying specifically for leaders and those around them brings divine guidance into committee rooms and parliamentary debates, encouraging faithful stewardship for the good of all citizens.
Prayer
Pray for the church to become engaged in prayer for our leaders and their communities. National House of Prayer is looking to build 343 teams(representing the number of seats in the House of Commons) across the nation to be a Canopy of Prayer over Canada and Israel.
