Our Father in Heaven, we earnestly pray that Your will be done in the life of John Yap. May he look to you for guidance and direction, as he puts his trust in you. We give thanks for the valued member of the legislature he has proven to be in the past , and continues to be today.
May You sharpen his vision, for this important portfolio for Climate Change. Grant him workable and wise solutions to implement desirable changes in this area.
His service to this province is not without personal sacrifice and so we pray the many hours he spends away from his family will be abundantly covered by Your protection, guidance, love and grace. In the Name of Jesus. Amen
