Our Election Prayer Campaign

God has a plan for Ontario.  God has plans to prosper this great province. He has plans not to harm it, but to give it HOPE and a FUTURE! I'm convinced that while God has a general plan for Ontario, He also has a specific plan for Ontario.  There are things that He wants to accomplish through the lives of those HE has chosen to lead this province after June 12.  I believe that God has chosen 107 people from across this province who He has gifted, prepared and set apart to lead in a time like this.  Some are Christian, some are from other faith groups, some do not acknowledge Him at all.  It doesn't matter.  He raises leaders up and brings leaders down so that the purposes of HIS great kingdom can be powerfully and forcefully advanced according to His plans and timeline.  

God tells us He chooses leaders and that He sets them apart to lead nations, provinces and regions for the benefit of those they serve.  As you know, Ontario voters go to the polls on June 12 to choose a government.  As the church, we have a responsibility to pray that God's will would be fulfilled through that election process so that our province will prosper and be blessed. 

This is not a political initiative, this is a KINGDOM initiative where the people of God humbly stand in the gap on behalf of their province and ask God to have His way during the election.  His promise to us if we are willing to do that is to hear from heaven, forgive OUR sin and heal OUR land.  We NEED Him to do that so that our entire province can experience His goodness and blessing.

For the next 8 days, we are going to pray and ask God to have His way during this campaign.  This will be the most incredible election you have ever experienced because this may well be the first time you've ever seriously and intentionally invited God to be a part of one.  God is up to something BIG in Ontario.  Let's not miss it!

Here's the prayer for today!

God, it is with great awareness that we reflect on the freedom we have to live in a country that allows us the ability to vote. I pray that we live with a spirit of gratitude, that we never lessen our voice to know we have the freedom to stand up for what we believe; to express our voices and opinions; to stand for change and the ability to speak on behalf of injustice. May we honor the privilege of being citizens who get to vote and may we honor those who are placed into positions of power and authority over our province and our nation. I thank you that such freedom is a gift - may we never take for granted this amazing opportunity.
