Today, we pray for the Honourable Minister of Municipal and Northern Affairs, Glen Simard. We pray as he fulfills his role in this important Cabinet portfolio and also in his role as MLA for Brandon East. We pray for wisdom and direction, and for the staff who serve him. We pray for a servant’s heart as the resources of Manitoba’s people are united under his leadership. We pray for his family as they support his ministry. We know with confidence that You have called him to this role, and may he be endowed with power and wisdom through the Holy Spirit. Amen.
