MPP Jack MacLaren, Carleton - Mississippi Mills

Lord we pray for Jack MacLaren today.  "One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple."  I pray that this heart that King David had become Jack's heartbeat.  Lord speak blessing, encouragement and transformation to Jack during your times together.
