Sylvia Jones - MPP for Dufferin-Caledon (October 10th, 2014)







Our Father, today we pause to think about our MPP Sylvia Jones that serves her province in Dufferin-Caledon. Sylvia has grown up on her family's farm in her riding. She is working hard representing the communities in her area. Father we pray for Sylvia as she serves to be a strong voice for families, she tirelessly strives to be available and assist with needs and helping to build a better community. Lord we pray you would renew her strength, give her guidance and meet all her needs. We pray for her staff, we ask for blessings and protection for her family. Lord, we ask you to bless your daughter today, surround her with wise council, give her knowledge and wisdom in all her decisions.
 


In Jesus Precious Name, we pray.
