Almighty God, our sovereign Lord and Creator of all things, we are so grateful that You are mindful of us, and that You love and care for each one of us. Today, we pray together for Hal Perry, knowing that You are mindful of him. May he be aware of Your love for him. We pray that he would seek Your wisdom and guidance in life and leadership as he serves as Leader of the Official Opposition. We thank You for people like him who give so much to their community. His involvement in so many areas over the years cannot help but leave a mark. May he rely on You for the strength to accomplish all You have set before him to do, for Your glory. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
