Dear Lord, We pray for MP Robert J. Morrissey today. Grant him divine wisdom, strength, and courage to carry out his legislative duties with integrity, justice, and truth. Pour out Your Spirit upon him and reveal Your Word to him, so that his actions and decisions may bring honour and glory to Your name and promote peace and prosperity for all of Canada. As he travels back and forth, may Your presence be with him, protecting him and renewing his strength. Tune his heart to Your Word, and may he always be aware of his ultimate responsibility to You, even as he fulfills his duties as a Member of Parliament. We pray for his entire family—bless and protect them. May they come to know You in a special way and depend on Your infinite power, grace, and love. Do for them what only You can do this year. We pray these things in the name of Jesus. Amen.
