We bless MLA: Marc Dalton, Father, and we thank You for the heart of a servant that you have given him. We pray that You would give him fresh eyes to see those things that are unseen or hidden. As he looks into the issues that come before him we pray that You would bring clarity and quick understanding and unique solutions. As he steps into this next season we pray for open doors for him. Protect him and his family and may they continue to be strength to one another. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
