MLA Daniel Jarvis - North Vancouver-Seymour

Today we are praying for MLA Daniel Jarvis.  Mr. Jarvis recently underwent heart surgery and has announced his  retirement.

Father we thank you for the years of service that Daniel has given to our communities, province and families. We thank you for raising up ones like Daniel to champion rights for others. We do pray your richest blessing upon him. May you continue to sustain him with joy. Father we ask you to raise up many more men and women who will give their lives to serve others. At this time may you give Daniel wisdom and insight in his diverse portfolio. We ask especially for strategic wisdom for his portfolio of resources and mining. We thank you Father.

In Jesus name,
