Father, we lift up to You in prayer the Honourable Demetrios Nicolaides. Today, we are praying 2 Timothy 3:16-17 as an “umbrella” over the Education and Childcare system of Alberta. “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.” Amen. We pray for wisdom and knowledge and steadfastness in all Mr. Nicolaides does as he serves the Province of Alberta and constituents. Blessings and protection over Mr. Nicolaides, his wife and two daughters. In Jesus’ mighty name, AMEN!
