As official leader of the Green Party in BC, and the MLA for Oak Bay-Gordon Head, we pause to pray today, Lord, for Dr. Andrew Weaver. We give thanks for the way that he continues to serve the people of BC with principled passion as he seeks to speak into and influence important decisions and significant issues that are debated and decided within our legislature. Empower him to utilize all the unique experiences and special insights garnered from his extensive background and experience in environmental issues over the years of his academic and public service career.
Bless and equip him, holy God, with integrity and discernment as he applies his education and knowledge to be a blessing not only within our provincial legislature, but also for the people of BC, all of Canada, and even the rest of the world. In Jesus name, we thank you for this man as he uses his considerable talents and abilities in service to others. Dr. Weaver regularly encourages us to be good stewards of the beautiful world you have made for us to live in, Lord, so bless him and his family as he serves us all with his energy, passion and insight, for the benefit of the future of our province. Amen…………
