Day 14

Pray that we discern and cause our leaders to focus on the significant issues of our day and that we are not sidetracked by peripheral issues.

Father, we are so often distracted by that which is “loud” rather than focusing on that which is significant. As we listen to the candidates vying for these positions of leadership in Alberta, help us to discern the important and to view what is being said though the lens of Scripture.  Amen

 So give your servant (Solomon) a discerning heart…and to distinguish between right and wrong...The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this.  So God said to him, “Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment in administering justice, ¹² I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart,...(1 Kings 3:9-12)
