As we pray for John Fraser today, we are reminded that You made him and have led him to this place of service. Thank you for the gift of compassion and service that You have placed within him. We ask that as he leads and serves today that he would experience your kindness and compassion both extended to him and flowing through him. Be with him this day. Amen.
