Dear Lord and Saviour, we thank You for the passion and commitment Hon. Ian Bushie has for the Keewatinook riding. Lord, give him the strength and wisdom to represent the many communities in this large riding. We ask that You help guide him as the Minister of Natural Resources and Indigenous Futures. Help him bring about some agreement in this area of government. Lord, make yourself real in his life. We pray for Your hand of protection on him and his family. In the mighty Name of Jesus, Amen.
