Father, we come before You with
thanksgiving for the men and women that serve us in the Parliament of the
Province of Ontario. We lift up MPP: David Zimmer to You and ask You to
pour out Your blessings on him and his family. Be with him Lord, as he serves
in government and in his constituency of Willowdale. Open his eyes to new
possibilities as he travels and talks to the people of our province. Renew his
strength and vision for the work You have called him to do. Protect him Lord as
he travels either by airplane or car in his role as a Cabinet Minister. As
Minister of Aboriginal Affairs we ask that you help him to make good
decisions and give good leadership to the role he has been given. We
begin to pray for wisdom, courage, integrity, strength, blessing and
righteousness to be poured on him that he may help to give good leadership to
our province. We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.
