PrayBC Election Prayer Campaign - Day 18

PrayBC Election Campaign Prayer Focus - Laying Hold of the Cause
I attended a pastor's prayer meeting this morning and our focus was on the Provincial Election.  As we prayed, I found myself identifying with David as he went to visit his brothers just prior to the confrontation with Goliath.  You'll remember that he stood before his brothers and the army and asked the simple question:  'Is there not a cause?' 

PrayBC is built around the powerful and yet simple cause of inviting God to use this election to accomplish His purposes for our province.  As much as 'faith without works is dead', so we must also remember that 'It's not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit declares the Lord.'  Let's remember that because we are praying, God is able to do something sovereign and powerful on Election Day.  Let's keep doing this! We are shaping the future on our knees!

Heavenly Father, we lay hold of the cause of praying for British Columbia again this morning.  We are blessed to live in this magnificent place.  Lord Jesus, as we invite you in to this electoral process, we know that nothing is too difficult for You.  We know that You have established a destiny and future for this province that is magnificent and will bring great blessing to every part of our province.  And so we pray 'let your kingdom come and let your will be done in British Columbia as it is in heaven.'  Work powerfully and sovereignly in the lives of each candidate that you have selected.  Strengthen their lives, empower their campaign workers and help them in spite of how they may feel or what they may see before them.  Protect their campaigns, their families and those who are closest to them.

We ask this in Jesus Name, Amen.
