Father, I thank you for the Hon. Michael
Chan. I thank you for his position in
our government, for Your Word says that every ruling authority that exists has
been established by You. Father, I pray that You will send him
laborers who are equipped with the Word of God.
I pray that these laborers will be used as vessels to communicate to his
heart. May the ears and eyes of his heart
be enlarged to receive what You are saying to him in Jesus name. I thank you that through them he will come
into the knowledge and truth of who you are.
May he be a godly voice for the marginalized and impoverished. May he be a light of righteousness to his
community, holding up what is upright to You.
Father, cover Micheal with love, joy and peace that can only come from
You. Meet him where he is Lord. Revive any lost hope in his heart in the name
of Jesus. Refresh him oh Lord. Send Your laborers to encourage him and lift
him up. Bless him oh Lord. Bless him oh Lord. Touch him from the top of his head to the
souls of his feet. Bring every distorted
thing into alignment. I declare and
decree that he is restored, refreshed, and encouraged. In Jesus name, Amen.
