MPP: Yvan Baker - Etobicoke Centre

Heavenly Father, we lift Yvan Baker to you in prayer today.  He carries important roles in the ongoing affairs of Ontario’s politics, and we know that he needs support at this time.  We ask that his life would be surrounded by people who would support his efforts, and that he would know that You have him in the positions that he holds, and that You are at every moment beside him. 

May this moment in his life be exciting and at the same time rewarding as he participates in the overall financial productivity of the Province. 

We ask this to be a time of blessing in his life.  In the name of Jesus, amen.
