Lord God, for thousands of years, You have called notable leaders into the political sphere of influence in their youth. In Your sovereignty, You have set Sam Oosterhoff into such a place representing the citizens of Niagara-West for a second term. We pray for Sam according to Ephesians 1:15-17 as he serves as a Member of the Standing Committee on the Legislative Assembly and Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Education. We rejoice that his good works will assist in the writing and facilitation of legislation reflecting the nature of God’s wisdom, understanding and love for all of creation. We ask for Your protection, anointing and a spirit of excellence to be upon him. We are grateful for the integrity and character of this young man. We pray this in Jesus name, Amen……
