It is our privilege to pray for Minister MacLane today. His portfolio is incredibly important and impacts every Islander and their families. Therefore, we ask that he would be granted the strength of character and confidence to provide leadership to our health providers. We also ask for him to have wisdom as he and his staff make vital decisions that balance need with ability. We also lift him up for his own physical and mental health as he shoulders his public responsibility. May he have time for his private life and family so he and his family remain healthy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
