But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

James 3:17 World English Bible

Reflection

Legislative proposals frequently spark intense debate, surfacing deep differences in perspective and priority. When discussions surrounding Bill C-9 generate anxiety or disagreement, believers carry an opportunity to model gentle listening and steady grace. Asking for divine wisdom helps prevent hostility from defining parliamentary and civic dialogue. Ask that grace guides every interaction, replacing fear with confident hope and honouring those who hold opposing viewpoints.

Prayer

Pray that we would bring God’s peace into every conversation about C-9, shining light where there is confusion, giving hope where there is fear, and showing love even when opinions are divided.
