Lord God, today we bring Mike Bernier, member for Peace River South to you. We ask for your blessing to rest on Mike in each meeting he attends and with every person he interacts with. May those he serves feel cared for and well supported. Give Mike wisdom today in his role as Opposition Critic for Housing – may the insights he brings to this file lead to increased availability for British Columbians seeking affordable and adequate shelter. We also ask for your blessing to rest on his marriage and family in Jesus’ name. Amen.
