I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men: for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.

1 Timothy 2:1-2 World English Bible

Reflection

When elected representatives gather to debate legislation, their choices directly affect how citizens express beliefs and share ideas. Clear discernment allows legislators to protect conscience and conviction while maintaining fairness for everyone. Asking for moral courage and sound judgment ensures that parliamentary work honours truth and safeguards expression. Interceding for parliamentarians helps preserve an environment where every voice can speak openly and faith can be lived out freely.

Prayer

Pray for wisdom and guidance for Canada’s leaders, that Members of Parliament would make decisions that uphold freedom of speech and freedom of religion, guided by justice, discernment, and integrity.
