Father, we are grateful for dedicated, diligent and committed members of the legislative assembly like MLA: Hon. Pat Bell. Your Word says in Psalm 37:23 (NLT) "The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.". We ask that You, Jesus, would be with Minister Bell every step of the way as Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Minister Responsible for Labour. We also trust that You will be with him in all of the details in this area as it is one of keys to the economy of our province and the well being of our citizens. Be with his family as their comforter while he is away from them traveling the province in fulfillment of his many duties. We ask this in the name of Jesus.
