Heavenly
Father, we are so thankful for leaders like Deron who have given themselves
freely to community service for the sake of others. We know that this
kind of concern and care for others is something near to Your heart. As
he fulfills the crucial role of Minister for Economic Development within the
province, we pray that you would help him do so with excellence and that you
would give him great success. Surround him with strong and creative people
who will partner with him towards this very important task. Let Your blessing
be on his life, relationships, family and work. In Jesus’ name, Amen
