Everlasting Father, we thank You this day for Jill Burridge. Lord, grant her divine wisdom and counsel to make decisions that promote peace, justice, and prosperity for all residents of Stratford-Keppoch and the people of Prince Edward Island. Protect her from mental exhaustion and renew her strength to fulfill her duties to her constituents with humility and integrity. May she come to know You in a new and special way, recognizing that with You, nothing is impossible. Father, we pray for her entire family today. As they continue to support her in her leadership position, may they too be strengthened, uplifted, and abundantly blessed. Lord, fill their home with joy and laughter, and let their relationships with one another be marked by grace, even as they feel the comfort of Your constant presence. We pray all of these things in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen!
