Lord, we place Matthew Rae before You as he serves Perth–Wellington and works in areas of housing and municipal leadership. You know the challenges and pressures that come with shaping communities and planning for the future. Give him wisdom as he navigates decisions that affect homes, families, and growing towns. In the tension between growth and sustainability, help him choose what is right and good. Keep his leadership grounded in integrity and shaped by a desire to serve people well. Strengthen him for the complexity of what he faces. Surround him with wise voices. And Lord, watch over his home and give him rest even in busy seasons. Through his work, bring stability and wise development to the communities he serves. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
