The Canadian Bible Society wishes to extend its sincerest condolences to the Royal Family on the passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. As Canadians, we honour the fact that the Queen is our Head of State, and throughout her reign, has demonstrated great affection for all Canadians. She has also shown dedicated and passionate leadership among The Commonwealth of Nations and has sought to bring people of diverse backgrounds together to foster understanding and mutual respect.<\/p>\n
Her Majesty is also the Honorary Patron of the British and Foreign Bible Society which founded the Canadian Bible Society.<\/p>\n
In her role as Sovereign, the Queen has shown a great depth of faith and has revealed her love for the Word of God. This has been evident in her annual Christmas broadcasts where she frequently referred to her faith and often quoted Scripture in her messages. In addition, as the Defender of the Faith and Supreme Governor of the Church of England, she has shown a consistent and faithful passion for worship and has supported the work of Christ in meaningful ways.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know just how much I rely on my faith to guide me through the good times and the bad. I draw strength from the message of hope in the Christian gospel.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 HM Queen Elizabeth II<\/p>\n Our prayer is that the God revealed in the Bible will grant Her Majesty the power of Christ\u2019s resurrection and the peace of the life to come.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\u00a0\u00bb1_2,1_2″ disabled_on=\u00a0\u00bbon|on|on\u00a0\u00bb admin_label=\u00a0\u00bbrow\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.20.2″ background_size=\u00a0\u00bbinitial\u00a0\u00bb background_position=\u00a0\u00bbtop_left\u00a0\u00bb background_repeat=\u00a0\u00bbrepeat\u00a0\u00bb width=\u00a0\u00bb100%\u00a0\u00bb custom_margin=\u00a0\u00bb20px|40px||40px|false|true\u00a0\u00bb custom_margin_tablet=\u00a0\u00bb20px||||false|false\u00a0\u00bb custom_margin_phone=\u00a0\u00bb0px||||false|false\u00a0\u00bb custom_margin_last_edited=\u00a0\u00bbon|tablet\u00a0\u00bb disabled=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb1_2″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.16″ custom_padding=\u00a0\u00bb|||\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb custom_padding__hover=\u00a0\u00bb|||\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_image src=\u00a0\u00bbhttps:\/\/biblesociety.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Inspire-our-Nation.png\u00a0\u00bb alt=\u00a0\u00bbyoung lady from the from Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation \u00a0\u00bb title_text=\u00a0\u00bbInspire our Nation\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.20.2″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb1_2″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.16″ custom_padding=\u00a0\u00bb|||\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb custom_padding__hover=\u00a0\u00bb|||\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_text admin_label=\u00a0\u00bbBody\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.20.2″ background_size=\u00a0\u00bbinitial\u00a0\u00bb background_position=\u00a0\u00bbtop_left\u00a0\u00bb background_repeat=\u00a0\u00bbrepeat\u00a0\u00bb width=\u00a0\u00bb85%\u00a0\u00bb custom_margin=\u00a0\u00bb||||false|false\u00a0\u00bb custom_margin_tablet=\u00a0\u00bb||||false|false\u00a0\u00bb custom_margin_phone=\u00a0\u00bb|0px||0px|false|true\u00a0\u00bb custom_margin_last_edited=\u00a0\u00bbon|desktop\u00a0\u00bb custom_padding=\u00a0\u00bb||||false|false\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb]<\/p>\n This young lady from the Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation is one of the Inspire our Nation youth engaged in their leadership program.

When you experience the pain of acute loss and grief and your cries to God for comfort are met with silence, you may find yourself wondering how you will go on. We believe that God answers prayer and is the God of all comfort, but sometimes He seems impossibly distant and out of reach. We resonate with the aching heart of the Psalmist \u2013 \u201cMy tears have been my food day and night, while people say to me all day long. \u2018Where is your God?<\/em>\u2019\u201d (Psalm 42:3)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n What do we do when the pain seems unbearable and God seems unreachable? This is when we experience faith at its truest. \u201cFaith\u201d implies questions and trust. Faith lives in the gaps between the truths of God and the pressures of reality. Almost every hero of the faith in scripture experienced seasons of profound silence from God, and often the longer they knew God the longer the silence seemed to last. But we must never mistake silence for absence.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Christians find comfort in the fact that one day grief will end, and God will wipe every tear from our eyes. But that is then. This is now. In the midst of our suffering and pain, we anchor ourselves to the unchanging character and nature of God. Even in the crushing silence, we believe He will never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). Faith is God\u2019s gift to us. Faithfulness is our act of worship to God.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Prayer Application<\/strong> \u201cNulla dui purus, eleifend vel, consequat non, dictum porta, nulla.
