Dear Lord, thank you for Bob Chiarelli and his desire to serve the people of Ontario. We ask that you give him renewed energy and dedication in his responsibilities and passions as the Minister of Infrastructure . Help Bob to understand the needs that are unmet in his community and bless him and his family with joy. Amen.
