Happy Canada Day

Canada is a nation founded on principles that honour the God who created us. Several scriptures are carved into stones in the parliament buildings in Ottawa. They remind all Canadians that we are powerless over many things and without God our lives are unmanageable.

Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. (Ephesians 6:13 NKJV) These words are written around the altar in the memorial chapel in the Peace Tower. We all face temptations and battles each day, and we need the power of the Holy Spirit that God has given us so we can stand strong. On our own, we are powerless.


As we sing our National Anthem today, let’s join our voices and our hearts together in prayer as we sing, "God keep our land glorious and free." We often say in Recovery meetings "When anyone, anywhere reaches out for help, I want the hand of AA always to be there. And for that, I am responsible." For Canada to remain glorious and free, every Canadian needs to step up, call out to God for help, and do our part. For that we are all responsible.
Prayer: Gracious God, I pray You will keep our land glorious and free. Help me to do my part as I honour You with my life, and seek to make the lives of my family, friends, and neighbours better. Please help me uphold this responsibility with grace and joy. Amen
