MLA Gordon Campbell Vancouver-Point Grey Premier

Our Heavenly Father, we are mindful of Your Word today, that instructs us to pray for those in authority over us, so we count it a privilege to pray earnestly for our Premier, in these ever changing times.  May he know Your Presence daily, and grant him , “Ears to hear and eyes to see,“ to discern Your will for this province he serves so faithfully. We pray You will strengthen his character  to keep him an honest, sincere and effective leader. Honour him with Your favour, to help him lead with wisdom and justice. Dear Lord protect him and his extended family with protection and safety. Bless and keep them all in health and the Peace of God that passes all understanding.

In Jesus Name we pray. Amen
