Heavenly Father, we bring before you the Hon. Paul Merriman. With the challenges and mental rigours of serving in the Legislature, may he seek your guidance in all he does. May he be seen as a servant leader everywhere he goes, and may he pass on that legacy. Give him wisdom, Lord, to lead his family well and may it be an example of love and excellence for others to be inspired by. Strengthen him, pour of yourself into him, and provide him with vision and wisdom as he serves the people of this province. Amen.
