PrayBC Election Prayer Campaign - Day 20

PrayBC Election Campaign Prayer Focus Day 15 - The Leader's Debate


"Let your conversation be gracious and effective, so that you will have the right answer for everyone." Col 4:6 NLT

The Apostle Paul has stated a key issue for those in leadership: true influence is acheived not by domination but by careful consideration of the issues, and respect for others.

Dear Father, as the Leaders gather to debate this evening, we ask that you would watch over each and every detail associated with the discussion. Lord, this is the best opportunity for many people to hear and see the leaders in action. We ask that more than anything, that truth will triumph over accusation and that wisdom would prevail over an argument. We pray that those who can and do speak effortlessly will restrain themselves, so as not to overpower others by their force of words. We pray they will make considered effort to use their gift wisely. May they choose to foster an atmosphere of fairness, and respect. For those who find it more difficult to state their case and opinions, may they gain courage and confidence. May they not let themselves be comprimised, but know that their knowledge and observations are valuable. May this deference to one another bring forth those quality, principled answers that will serve our province in the best way. Father we thank you for the principles of free speech upon which our nation and province are founded.

We place this prayer before you in the Holy name of Jesus Christ.  Amen

Watch the debate at 5 PM and join us at Church of Our Lord for a PrayBC Election Prayer Rally from 7 PM-8:15 PM.
