Lord, we lift the name of Hal Perry to Your throne of mercy and grace. Hal has been serving as an elected member of the Legislative Assembly of PEI since 2011. In his current role as Interim Leader of the Opposition, we pray that he does so in such a way that his words would reflect the way that he would have others speak about him. This is an important role, one that requires discernment. We pray that the words spoken will bring unity and not division amongst the members. In all his ways, may he acknowledge You, and You will direct his path. We pray all this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
