Pray

Prayer is essential to any effective action. Each week at TheEFC.ca/TakeAction we rotate through a prayer request from each of these five areas: Sanctity of Life Care for the Vulnerable Church and Mission Family and Community Religious Freedom. We also list an EFC affiliate group to pray for.

This Week’s Prayer Prompts    

Pray:

On Canada Day, this week's prayer prompt is about Canada. We can be thankful for the many material and spiritual blessings we enjoy in Canada and we pray that we as the Church may be salt and light to our nation and a witness to our neighbours.

This week's EFC affiliate highlight focuses on the EFC's affiliate congregations from a wide range of traditions. In our society where Medically Assisted Death is being normalized and many people are struggling with despair or in need of supports to live, pray that God would equip local congregations to find ways to provide support and hope.  

Ongoing general prayer suggestions:

• for your MP and the Prime Minister (maybe read our short article Seven Principles of Praying for Political Leaders)
• for our communities and our country
• for churches in Canada and around the world
• for wisdom, courage and opportunities to love our neighbours
• for the EFC’s work on your behalf

Become involved

• Offer practical, tangible help to people in need or in crisis

Ask for change

• Call, write or visit your MP. Remember to thank them for their service and let them know you’re praying for them. Find your MP’s contact information. Get great advice in our Engagement Kit.
