Fasting & Prayer for Canada: Seeking God in This Pivotal Moment
“He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.” – Psalm 72:8
Canada was founded on a vision of faith—one that declared God’s dominion over this land from coast to coast. Today, as we navigate cultural, political, and spiritual shifts, it is more important than ever for believers to unite in prayer, faith, and spiritual commitment for our nation.
Crossroads is proud to present “Strong & Free: United in Prayer for Canada”, a national movement calling Christians across the country to seek God’s wisdom, healing, and direction for our nation.
One of the most powerful spiritual disciplines to accomplish this is through fasting and prayer—and the Lenten season provides a perfect opportunity.
Why Now? The Spiritual Significance of This Season
Lent is a sacred season of reflection, repentance, and spiritual renewal, where Christians worldwide embrace fasting and prayer to deepen their relationship with God. It offers a meaningful time to set aside distractions and earnestly seek His will.
As Canada faces significant challenges, this Lenten season invites believers to:
- Pray for national spiritual renewal and the restoration of biblical values
- Intercede for wisdom for government and church leaders
- Fast as an act of spiritual humility, aligning our hearts with God’s purposes
Throughout scripture and church history, God’s people have fasted and prayed during crucial moments. Now we are called to stand in the gap for Canada.
How to Participate in Fasting & Prayer
We recognize that fasting takes many forms, and everyone can participate in a way that fits their circumstances:
- Traditional Fast – Abstain from food for a designated period and dedicate that time to prayer
- Daniel Fast – Focus on plant-based foods while immersing yourself in Scripture and prayer
- Media Fast – Choose to fast from entertainment-driven content and replace it with faith-building programs, Bible Studies, worship, and Christian media that nurture your spiritual journey
- Sacrificial Fast – Give up something meaningful (coffee, sugar, social media) and redirect that time to prayer
“The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” – James 5:16
