Lord of Compassion, we lift up Minister Ramsay, MLA for District 22. You have called her from a long career in healthcare and social service to public service for the province. As she serves as Minister of Social Development and Seniors and Minister Responsible for the Status of Women, we pray that her decisions would reflect the compassion she has shown through her years of caring for the health of Islanders. As she serves, may her eyes be lifted to You, the God of all compassion, who gave His beloved Son so that we may be healed. In the precious name of Jesus, Amen.
