Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve Yahweh with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Psalm 2:10-11 World English Bible

Reflection

Elections bring seasons of intense decision-making, where public servants, candidates, and citizens reflect on the direction of governance. During transitions or anticipation of an upcoming vote, leaders face elevated pressure, competing priorities, and high-stakes choices. Requesting divine guidance for elected officials helps ensure integrity, wisdom, and attentiveness to the common good. Interceding for those in authority encourages stability, peace, and thoughtful governance that honours every community.

Prayer

Continue to pray for our Canada and our government leaders as we navigate this crucial time leading up to a possible election.
