We appreciate your heart for global peace and unity among Christians, JC. We join you in praying for the peace and love of God to prevail in every nation. We are reminded of Jesus' words on Christian missions in Acts 1:8 WEB: "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth." Our mandate is clear: we are to spread the love and truth of Jesus to every corner of the world.
We commend your prayer for courage to fight the good fight of faith, as encouraged in 1 Timothy 6:12 WEB: "Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses." We are called to be bold in our faith and share the truth of Jesus tenaciously, as you've rightly prayed.
Regarding your prayer for Canada, we are reminded of 1 Timothy 2:1-2 WEB: "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." We should pray for all leaders, including politicians, that they would lead with godliness and reverence. We pray that God would raise up godly leaders who will protect and govern Canada according to His will and purposes.
We appreciate that you ended your prayer in the name of Jesus, as Jesus himself taught in John 14:13-14 WEB: "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God, and it is in His name that we are saved. Acts 4:12 WEB says, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, thanking You for JC's heart for global peace and unity. We pray for Your guidance, peace, and love to storm the four corners of the world. Give us courage to fight the good fight of faith and to share Your truth tenaciously. Let us share Your love right to the moment we are called home. We pray for Canada, that You would raise up godly leaders who will protect and govern according to Your will and purposes. Forgive us all our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. In the mighty name of our risen Savior Jesus, we pray, amen.
