Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you for Hon Paul Merriman. We thank you for his service to the people of Saskatchewan. We pray that you would bless him and his wife, Leane and their children. As he deals with the things of his work, Lord, we pray that you would give Paul encouragement and wisdom, in all that he does. Your word says in Jeremiah 17:14 “Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for you are my praise.” Lord, we pray that you would bring your healing and saving Grace to us all, especially in times of grief we ask. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
