Almighty God, we take a moment to thank You once again for raising up people who are willing to take the responsibilities of leading and serving in the community. We bring before You today Hon. Hilton MacLennan, representing District 23, Tyne Valley-Sherbrooke. As he continues to serve on the Public Accounts Committee, we pray that all involved would be mindful of the numerous serious financial matters of the province. Lord, we know that Your Word encourages us to ask You for wisdom, and You promise to give it generously. We pray this for each committee member. We pray that You would strengthen him for all that he encounters in his public and personal life. In every area he serves in, and with all he offers in the natural, may Your divine wisdom be evident in the contributions he brings. We pray Your blessings upon him, in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
