Lord, we ask that Your hand would be upon MLA: Hon. George Abbott our Minister of Education. Lord we know that the education of the youth of British Columbia is something dear to Your heart because our youth are our most valuable resource. Your Word says in James 1:5 "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God..". We know You know the pressing immediate issues
related to public education that need resolution and we pray that You
would lead us to that solution that is the best for our province. We pray that You would not only give Minister Abbott wisdom but also supernatural revelation, vision and insight for the future that will continue to insure our public education system is one of the best. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
