Father in Heaven, it is our privilege to bring Jagrup Brar to You today. I ask for Your presence to rest on him today in every event he attends and with each person he meets. Grant wisdom and insight as he serves his constituents today and give him rest and he enjoys time with his wife and children this summer. Amen…..
