Jean Tremblay, the Mayor of Saguenay Quebec, is in court fighting for the right to open city Council meetings with prayer. His arguments are based on the first words of the 1982 Constitution Act, which states, “Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law….” Mr. Tremblay is trying to reverse a decision banning prayers before meetings. Whoever wins, one thing is certain – any individual who sincerely turns to God in prayer will never be turned away. God has promised in His Word, “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” I do not know why Mayor Tremblay wants prayer, and I don’t know why his Council is against it, but I do know that prayer is the greatest source of power and strength in the world. English poet, Alfred Lord Tennyson correctly wrote, “More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.” God is only a prayer away.
