Good morning! May we join together in prayer for the Honourable Devin Dreeshen Minister of Agriculture and Forestry – MLA Innisfail-Sylvan Lake. Father, we lift up Mr. Dreeshen to you in prayer and decree Jeremiah 29:11; “For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.’” We pray this rich scripture over Mr. Dreeshen AND Alberta. We also pray your mighty hand, Lord, over Mr. Dreeshen giving him new ideas and innovations for Alberta’s agriculture and forestry industry. We pray your protection and blessing in Jesus mighty name, Amen!
