Ottawa Prayer Corner – Oct. 25
We are partnering in prayer with Natalie McIntrye during her time in Ottawa. These are her top items of prayer for this week:
I was sitting in Question Period today and these just stuck with me! Here are my top requests:
1.) Environment Policy:
There’s a big meeting about this in Copenhagen and the Cons. are getting some serious pressure to make sure Canada is a leader in Environment and Climate Change issues. I really sense that God has some amazing ways that he wants us to take care of his world that just haven’t been uncovered yet. Pray that God would provide his wisdom to the Environment and Sustainable Developement Committee as they seek to steward and are for this land.
2.) Afghanistan:
We have some big things to deal with as Canada begins to pull out of there. The way that we’re involved is going to change, but I don’t think anyone totally knows what that’s going to look like. Please pray specifically for Defense Minister Peter McKay and International Trade Minister Stockwell Day as they’ve been meeting recently to make long term plans – setting up programs that will help with the phasing out.
3.) Peace:
As I sit in Question Period trying to pray amidst the din of party members trying to make each other look bad, the word peace keeps coming to mind over and over. I find myself just praying “peace, peace, peace, peace” as I sit there. These parties are all against each other, but in order for this government to function they all need to be at peace with one another and work together. So, please pray for peace within the halls of Parliament between all parties and all party members.
Natalie
